Coverage & reaction

Vanity Project Retain NXT Tag Titles

WWE Vanity Project's Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes retained their NXT Tag Team Championship against Hank Walker and Tank Ledger on WWE NXT. Hank and Tank, the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Classic runners-up, stepped in as last-minute replacements after Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno were attacked and unable to compete. The challengers controlled much of the bout and nearly captured the gold before Jackson Drake's interference was neutralized, allowing Vanity Project to survive and keep the titles.

NXT returns to its regular Tuesday night slot this week after last week's special conflict with AEW Blood & Guts. The show is broadcasting live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, and is available on The CW in the United States plus on Netflix for international viewers.

Four matches are set for the evening, including a title bout for the NXT Tag Team Championship. Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes, representing The Vanity Project, will put their NXT Tag Team titles on the line against Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno.
