New WWE Champions Crowned On NXT
A big night of NXT action saw three title matches take place and two WWE stars claim tag team gold.
Nathan Frazer and Axiom captured the NXT Tag Team Championship from Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin back in April but since winning the gold, tension has simmered between the partners as both have looked elsewhere for success at the same time.
On the 13th of August edition of NXT, “Fraxiom” put their title on the line against Chase U. The pair of Andre Chase and Duke Hudson had won a number one contender match in June but it was Chase and Ridge Holland who challenged for the title.
Chase U Win WWE NXT Gold
With Hudson and Thea Hail leading the Chase U contingent in their support of their teammates, the NXT Tag Team Champions began to fall apart with several miscommunications hampering their chances of winning. In the end, Ridge Holland pinned Axiom to pick up the gold for Chase U. Confetti fell from the ceiling as Chase U celebrated in the ring en masse.
What a moment 👏
It's been a long and winding road back, but @AndreChaseWWE and #ChaseU are champions once again! 🙌 #WWENXTpic.twitter.com/6UVFfjgcqt
