Hank and Tank are set to defend their NXT Tag Team Championship against DarkState at HeatWave. On Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, Hank and Tank successfully retained their titles against Chase U’s Kale Dixon and Ulia Connors. The faction, which includes Dion Lennox, Saquon Schugers, Osiris Griffin, and Cutler James, revealed they had attacked Hank and Tank in a previous vignette and claimed the tag titles in a surprising twist.
Later, Dion Lennox, Saquon Schugers, Osiris Griffin, and Cutler James appeared to launch an attack on NXT champions Oba Femi, TNA World Champions Trick Williams, Javon Evans, and Moose. In a backstage segment, these four teams agreed to compete in a 4-on-4 tag team match on next week’s NXT. Hank and Tank then barged into the general manager Ava’s office, demanding retribution against DarkState. Ultimately, Ava decided to select two members from DarkState to challenge for the tag titles on August 24th.
Fan Take: This buildup adds thrilling layers of conflict and drama, setting the stage for intense rivalries in NXT’s tag division. WWE fans should be excited as it promises high-stakes matches and potential title changes that could reshape the tag team landscape.
