The Vanity Project kept the NXT Tag Team Championship on November 10. Brad Baylor pinned Hank after Hank and Tank stepped in for the advertised challengers, Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno.
How the title match changed
WWE’s results say the champions took Dar and Moreno out before the title defense. Hank and Tank stepped in and jumped Baylor and Ricky Smokes before the bell. Tank nearly finished Baylor with a swanton, but Baylor kicked out.
Dar and Moreno then returned and distracted the replacement challengers. Myka Lockwood shoved Hank off the top rope, and Baylor rolled him up to retain.
What the finish leaves open
The result gives the champions a successful defense while leaving the advertised matchup unresolved. Dar and Moreno earned the title opportunity by winning the Dusty Cup, but neither man took the pin in this defense. WWE’s recap establishes the result against Hank and Tank. A new date for Dar and Moreno would require another announcement.
Elsewhere on the show, Kendal Grey challenged NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan. Izzi Dame defeated Wren Sinclair before Women’s North American Champion Zaria confronted her.
