The NXT Tag Team Titles will no longer be vacant after night one of TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. MSK (Wes Lee & Nash Carter), Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) and Legado Del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza) are going to be competing in a three-way for the vacant tag titles.
Former NXT Tag Team Champion Danny Burch and his partner Oney Lorcan had to relinquish the titles after Burch suffered a separated shoulder on 3/17. It was stated by NXT commentator Vic Joseph on the 3/24 USA Network show that Burch is expected to be out for six months.
Next week’s NXT will feature a Battle Royal with Leon Ruff, KUSHIDA, Cameron Grimes, Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, Austin Theory, L.A. Knight, Tyler Rust, Jake Atlas, Bronson Reed, Dexter Lumis, Pete Dunne and Roderick Strong. The final six in the Battle Royal will move on to the Gauntlet Eliminator match on night one of TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. The winner challenges Johnny Gargano on night two for the North American Title.
