Heather By Elegance and M. By Elegance successfully defended their TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship against Zarya on WWE NXT. Accompanied by former TNA Knockouts World Champion Ash by Elegance and their personal assistant George Menezes, the champions maintained their hold on the titles despite limited outside involvement during the match.
Tensions ran high between Sol Luka and Zarya leading up to the bout, as Zarya was upset that Luka had participated in the recent women’s Royal Rumble instead of her. This discord spilled over into the match, with Luka attacking the champion early on and Zarya refusing to cooperate by tagging in or assisting her partner. Luka eventually tagged Zarya in against her will, but when Luka needed support, Zarya remained distant, shaking her head from the mat.
The estranged teammates continued their disagreements even after Zarya returned, culminating in a failed power slam/Sol Snatcher combo due to Luka pushing Zarya away. This miscommunication allowed Heather and M. By Elegance to pin Zarya, securing their championship reign. Since joining NXT, Zarya has yet to claim a title and grows increasingly frustrated as Luka continues to gain prominence, including appearances in the Royal Rumble and holding dual championships.
Fan Take:
This storyline highlights the complex dynamics within tag teams and adds emotional depth to the women’s division on NXT, which WWE fans will find compelling. It also sets up potential future rivalries or reunions, keeping the competition fresh and unpredictable in the sport.
