The New Day win NXT Tag Team titles at Deadline

The New Day are the new NXT Tag Team Champions.

Xavier Woods and Kofi Kingston are the new champions after defeating Pretty Deadly during Saturday’s NXT Deadline. The finish had Kofi Kingston deliver the trouble in paradise on Elton Prince on the outside. Xavier Woods then scored the pinfall win over Kit Wilson after The New Day hit the midnight hour.

With their win, The New Day have now won all three current tag team titles in WWE. Commentator Vic Joseph noted that this was the fifteenth time Kofi Kingston has held a tag team title in WWE. Pretty Deadly had held the titles for 97 days, defeating Brooks Jensen & Josh Briggs, Gallus, and The Creed Brothers to unify the NXT and NXT UK Tag Team titles at Worlds Collide back on September 4.

The match for the titles was set up this past Tuesday on NXT, when The New Day interrupted Pretty Deadly’s Christmas story to challenge them for the titles. The two teams eventually brawled, with The New Day getting the upper hand.
