NXT’s resident party girls have become the resident punching bags on Raw since being drafted to the red brand in May.

Kayden Carter and Katana Chance are a talented tag team, but they’ve never been little more than enhancement talent – proverbial space-fillers – since their callup. They lost to the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions Ronda Rousey and Shayna Baszler in their debut match in June, then defeated Chelsea Green and Sonya Deville two weeks later.

Since then, KC-Squared has lost five tag matches, including three multi-team bouts to determine number one contenders. They’ve showed up in a few backstage segments as well along the way, but they have yet to make anything even remotely approaching an impact.

Carter and Chance are flashy enough that they should have a spot on the roster for a while and always continue to get looks, but their smaller stature might prove to be a hindrance. Hopefully, their talent will lead to them getting a better shot in 2024, but this was not a great debut year for the duo.
