WWE NXT crowned new NXT Tag Team Champions during tonight’s episode on the USA Network as the team of Zoey Stark & Io Shirai defeated The Way (Candice LeRae & Indi Hartwell) to become the new Champions.
WWE NXT superstar Tegan Nox, who has been out of action for months due to injury, made her return during the match, being revealed on-stage as the person behind the “battery charging” vignettes, much to the surprise of Candice LeRae, with the distraction proving enough for Stark and Shirai to pick up the victory.
