Axiom and Nathan Frazer put the NXT Tag Team Championships on the line against The Family’s Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo and Luca Crusifino. During the bout, No Quarter Catch Crew (Charlie Dempsey, Damon Kemp & Myles Borne) ambushed Tony D’Angelo. Frazer took advantage of the distraction and retained the titles for himself and Axiom. Afterwards, the champions were taken out by Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson.
As NXT Champion Trick Williams was being confronted by Meta-Four’s Jakara Jackson, Oro Mensah and Lash Legend, he was further accused of being the individual who ‘ambushed’ Noam Dar on 5/14. Lash continued to defended Williams against that. Joe Coffey would make his way out to the stage area and from behind, Mark Coffey and Wolfgang went after Trick. Je’Von Evans came out to make the save, but Gallus had the numbers game. Joe Coffey is challenging for the North American Title at Battleground. On 5/28, it’ll be Williams and Evans versus Mark Coffey and Wolfgang.
