When NXT began tonight, General Manager William Regal presented the inaugural Dusty Rhodes Women's Tag Team Classic winners, Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez, with the brand new NXT Women's Tag Team titles.

But Kai and Gonzalez's joy, and reign, would be short-lived. They were dethroned by Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon later in the night.

While Moon and Blackheart were the ones that Kai and Gonzalez defeated in the finals of the Women's Dusty Cup, they were not able to best them tonight on NXT.

Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon become the second-ever NXT Women's Tag Team Champions

After the groundbreaking announcements William Regal made earlier in the show, NXT managed to surprise fans by having the Women's Tag Team titles change hands twice in one night.

While Kai and Gonzalez will be looking forward to a rematch, Blackheart and Moon may already have a target on their backs. Everyone was busy congratulating the brand new champions backstage, but Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell were seen sulking in the background at a distance.

Will we get to see LeRae and Hartwell challenge the new tag champions sometime in the future? What are your reactions to the title changing hands twice in one night? Let us know in the comments.
