Pretty Deadly win Tag Team titles on WWE NXT

Pretty Deadly are the next NXT Tag Team Champions.

Elton Prince and Kit Wilson defeated The Creed Brothers in a five team gauntlet to win the championships for the first time. The Creed Brothers had started the match and by the time Pretty Deadly arrived, they were tired. Despite this, the final match in the gauntlet remained competitive until Pretty Deadly hit a spinebuster/neckbreaker combination to win the titles.

Other teams in the match included Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen, Joaquin Wilde & Raul Mendoza of Legado del Fantasma, and Grayson Waller & Sanga.

Pretty Deadly revealed themselves as the newest members of the NXT roster last week after spending weeks harassing The Creed Brothers, including attacking them prior to a NXT Tag Team title match. They are former NXT UK Tag Team Champions and had wrestled on the brand under the names Lewis Howley (Prince) and Sam Stoker (Wilson).

The NXT Tag Team titles were vacated over the weekend following the release of Nash Carter, who was one half of the Tag Team Champions alongside Wes Lee. Carter has been accused by ex-wife Kimber Lee of domestic abuse. Additionally, a photo surfaced of him stylzing his facial hair similar to Adolf Hitler and doing a Nazi pose.

After Carter was released, the company announced that the titles were vacated and a gauntlet match would determine new champions on tonight’s show.
