Meanwhile, the moment for the new tag champs didn’t last long as they’ve already lost it during a championship defense against Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart. Moon and Blackheart wanted a title shot during the crowning ceremony as Regal made it official.
The title match went down, later where Gonzalez and Moon were dealing with each other around the ring. Shotzi took advantage of the distraction by hitting the big suplex and bridge on Kai for the pin to win the titles. WWE NXT crowd went insane after witnessing two title changes on the same night.
