WWE has announced a tag match and a new segment for NXT Gold Rush week one. 

Valentina Feroz & Yulisa Leon vs. Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend is now scheduled for Tuesday’s show. 

During the Heritage Cup match between Nathan Frazier and Oro Mensah last week, Jackson and Legend attempted to interfere on behalf of Mensah. This led to Leon and Feroz running to ringside and evening up the score.

On Sunday, WWE made a tag match between the two teams official. 

WWE has also announced that NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes will be involved in a face-to-face segment with upcoming challenger Baron Corbin on Tuesday. Corbin will challenge the champion for the title on week two of Gold Rush. 

WWE has also confirmed that Chase U will throw a pep rally for Thea Hail on Tuesday. Hail will challenge Tiffany Stratton for the NXT Women’s Championship on week two of Gold Rush.
