MSK wins the NXT tag team championships
Share this story
TakeOver: Stand and Deliver (tonight Apr. 7), we were guaranteed new tag team champions.
Unfortunately, Danny Burch, who held the men’s tag gold alongside Oney Lorcan, separated his shoulder and the team had to relinquish the titles. To crown new titles, William Regal booked a triple threat match between the Grizzled Young Veterans, El Legado del Fantasma (Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde), and the recent Dusty Cup winners MSK.
The actions was high octane and nonstop.
MSK’s Wes Lee particularly looked badass. That was until the devious Young Vets targeted his already broken hand. James Drake held his hand against the turnbuckle as the Zack Gibson kicked it straight on.
NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver kicks off tonight with night one airing live on the USA Network and Peacock in the United States, and the WWE Network internationally.
In the main event, Io Shirai will put her NXT Women s Championship on the line against Raquel Gonzalez. Shirai, who has been NXT Women s Champion for more than 300 days, was last pinned by Gonzalez in WarGames this past December.
The NXT United Kingdom Championship will also be up for grabs as WALTER defends against Tommaso Ciampa tonight. WALTER s reign as champion recently reached the two-year mark.
New NXT Tag Team Champions will be crowned as MSK (Wes Lee & Nash Carter), The Grizzled Young Veterans (Zach Gibson & James Drake), and Legado Del Fantasma (Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde) face off in a triple threat match. The NXT Tag Team titles were declared vacant last month after Danny Burch suffered a separated shoulder.

Hello 411 guys, gals, enbies, and everyone else! Welcome to 411’s WWE NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver Night One preview! I’m Jeremy Thomas as always, and we’ve already had a busy WrestleMania week that is only going to get busier in the coming nights. The WrestleMania edition of NXT Takeover is a two-night event this year, and that means we have just five matches to look at for tomorrow night’s show. They are some very strong matches though, and have the potential to deliver a hell of a strong start to NXT’s big show of the season. I’m a little short of time this week so without any further ado … lets get right into the matches, shall we?
