Chase U Wins Tag Title Shot On WWE NXT, Get Attacked By The Good Brothers

A week after winning the “WWE NXT” Tag Team Championships, Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin have officially found themselves a pair of challengers.

During tonight’s episode of “NXT,” Breaker and Corbin took a moment to relish in their recent title win. Before they could properly celebrate, though, the duo were interrupted by Chase U’s Andre Chase and Duke Hudson as well as Nathan Frazer and Axiom – who each staked their claim for a shot at the “NXT” Tag Team Championships. After hearing the pitches of both teams, “NXT” General Manager Ava announced that they would collide in a number one contenders match later in the show.

With a tag team title shot on the line, each team feverishly fought to secure the win. In the end, though, it was Chase U who emerged victorious after Andre Chase caught Frazer with a three-count pinfall to guarantee themselves a future shot at the “NXT” Tag Team Championships. After the match, Hudson, Chase, Frazer, and Axiom were greeted with an ambush at the hands of “WWE SmackDown” stars Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows (together known as The Good Brothers). Riley Osborne, who accompanied Chase U to the ring, was also on the receiving end of The Good Brothers’ surprise beatdown. 

Tonight marks Anderson and Gallows’ first “NXT” appearance since October 2022, when they, along with Cameron Grimes, defeated Schism (Jagger Reid, Joe Gacy & Rip Fowler) in a six-man tag team competition.

The O.C. Appeared On Last night’s WWE NXT, Got Help From Finn Balor

The O.C. (AJ Styles, Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows) appeared last night on WWE NXT.

As seen below, The Undisputed Era (NXT Champion Adam Cole, NXT North American Champion Roderick Strong, NXT Tag Team Champions Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish) was attacked by The OC outside of the NXT Arena before tonight’s episode. The beatdown aired on the USA Network at 7:50pm ET tonight during Mauro Ranallo’s weekly preview.

They then came to the ring for a promo and were ultimately interrupted by Tommaso Ciampa.

Styles pointed out how Ciampa was outnumbered which prompted Keith Lee and Matt Riddle to come out in support of their brand and to setup a 3-on-3 match later on.

In the closing moments of the match … Ciampa looked to hit his finisher on the WWE United States Champion, but Finn Balor’s music hit causing a distraction. Balor then attacked Riddle on the entrance ramp and AJ Styles threw up a Too Sweet. Finn reciprocated with his finger guns.

Unfortunately, the celebration didn’t last long. Adam Cole interfered shortly after and stopped AJ from hitting the Styles Clash, causing the match to end in no contest. He also hit hit The Last Shot on Ciampa as well for good measure.

The NXT champ and Finn Balor stared each other down to end the show.
