New Tag Team Champions crowned on WWE NXT
Vanity Project are the new NXT Tag Team Champions.
Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes won the titles in a surprise on Tuesday thanks to outside interference from Tony D’Angelo. The finish had Jackson Drake and other DarkState members being escorted out of the ringside area. D’Angelo suddenly entered ringside and took out Saquon Shugars with a chokeslam. He threw both Shugars and Brad Baylor into the ring, with Baylor covering Shugars for the shock win.
Baylor & Smokes won a number one contender’s match last week to earn the title match on this week’s show. They originally weren’t in the four-way match, but were added after defeating Hank & Tank two weeks ago.
D’Angelo recently spoke for the first time since making his return to NXT television, accusing DarkState of taking everything away from him. He promised in his promo that he would do the same to them, making it clear the group would be his main targets moving forward.
DarkState had held the titles since October 25, defeating The Hardy Boyz at Halloween Havoc.
