NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships to be defended at TakeOver
The WWE NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles will be defended at the big two-night “Takeover: Stand and Deliver” event.
Tonight’s NXT go-home show saw The Way’s Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell pick up a win over newcomers Gigi Dolin and what sounded like Zayda Ramier, the former AQA. After the match, The Way cut a promo to warn the women’s division and then challenged NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart for a title match at Takeover.
Moon and Blackheart came out to accept the challenge for Takeover. It will be Moon and Blackheart defending the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles against Hartwell and LeRae. There is no word yet on what night this match will take place on, but we will keep you updated.
Stay tuned for more on the “Takeover: Stand and Deliver” event, which takes place on Wednesday, April 7 and Thursday, April 8. Night One will air on the USA Network while Night Two will air on Peacock and the WWE Network.
