WWE's Chase U Becomes NXT Tag Team Champions in Epic Win

Chase U's Andre Chase and Ridge Holland defeat Axiom and Nathan Frazer to become WWE NXT Tag Team Champs

By Matthew Aguilar

The WWE NXT Tag Team Championships were on the line in tonight's main event of WWE NXT, and in many ways this was Chase U's last shot at the Titles, at least for the foreseeable future. This time it was the pairing of Andre Chase and Ridge Holland, and they would face the Champions Axiom and Nathan Frazer, who had their own issues previously but seemed to be back on the same page. Axiom and Frazer avoided taking each other out at one point and then hit their finisher to put the match away, but Chase U refused to stay down. That led to a big sequence where it was instead Holland and Chase working together to hit the finisher on Axiom, and that was enough to get the pin and the win. Chase U is now your NXT Tag Team Champions and the fan-favorite group got a massive celebration as they held up their Titles in the ring.

Chase started against Axiom, and Chase would get the first shot in, going for a quick cover that Axiom quickly kicked out of. Axiom came back with a dropkick and tagged in Frazer, who was speeding around the ring until Holland came in and knocked him to the mat. Frazer got away from a slam and then Axiom tagged himself in, delivering a super kick to Holland and then a slam to Chase.

Frazer dove through and knocked Chase down to the floor. Axiom darted through the ropes and knocked Holland to the floor next, giving the Champs run of the ring. Chase and Frazer would tag in after the chaos died down and Frazer went for two pins in quick succession, but Chase kicked out of both attempts. Frazer looked to slow things down with a hold, but then Chase hit a huge clothesline and had the Champ on the mat.

Chase tagged Holland in and Axiom tagged in as well, but Holland knocked Axiom to the mat twice in a row and did the same to Frazer. Then Holland hit a huge DDT on Axiom for a cover, but Axiom got his shoulder up in time. Axiom kicked Holland back to buy some space and hit another kick in the corner, and then Axiom went up for a splash. Frazer followed with his 450 but Holland managed to kick out of the pin.
