After winning the inaugural women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, NXT superstars Dakota Kai and Raquel González were flying high on their way to a WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship match. Now, WWE’s Shayna Baszler and Nia Jax are looking to send them crashing back to Earth.

Speaking to GameSpot’s Wrestle Buddies podcast, Baszler admitted she and her co-champion aren’t sweating the competition. “They did a great job through that tournament,” she said. “They showed that they were the best tag team in that tournament. But, like we weren’t in that tournament because we don’t need to be.”

Baszler continued, “They’re flying high right now. But they’re going to learn [and] they’re going to learn real fast.”

The director of the Mortal Kombat movie is promising that the video game adaptation will feature some epic fight scenes befitting of the Mortal Kombat name.

Simon McQuoid–an Australian commercials director who makes his feature directorial debut with Mortal Kombat–told Collider that the goal was to create the best fight scenes ever committed to film.

“The fights themselves, what we’ve attempted to do… is to innovate within,” he said. “To drive character forward and story forward within the fight. So we spent a lot of time on that.

AMD has announced its mainstream RDNA 2-powered GPU, with the RX 6700 XT set to launch on March 18.

This is the most affordable GPU in the 6000 series yet, with specs that target 1440p for maximum performance. This pits it against Nvidia’s RTX 3070 and less powerful RTX 3060 Ti, with AMD nestling in between the two with its $479 MSRP. Of course, if the past few months have been any indication, that figure might not count for anything, considering the inflation of GPU pricing due to stock shortages.

If you can snag one at release for anywhere close to the recommend price, AMD is promising performance on par and, in some cases, exceeding that of the RTX 3070. In its internal benchmarks, AMD has the RX 6700 XT beating its Nvidia rival in many modern titles. What isn’t as clear in the image is that the benchmarks are making use of AMD’s Smart Access Memory boost for increased performance, a feature which Nvidia hasn’t yet rolled out to the RTX 3070.
