They got their chance on the following week's episode, losing to champions Io Shirai and Zoey Stark. On the April 26, 2022 episode of *NXT 2.0*, Catanzaro's name was changed to **Katana Chance**. Chance and Carter won the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship in a fatal four-way tag team elimination match, lastly eliminating Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne), on the August 2 episode of *NXT*. They defended their titles against Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. at Worlds Collide, Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark on the October 25 episode of *NXT*, and Lyons and Stark once again on the November 8 episode of *NXT*.
