The New Day have officially claimed another batch of titles, as they defeated the duo of Pretty Deadly to capture the NXT Tag Team Championships.
During NXT Deadline, The New Day showed off why they are one of the most decorated and winning tag teams in WWE history. As the crowd rallied behind them, the duo put on a great show against Pretty Deadly, and eventually closed things out in a chaotic way.
Late in the match, Xavier Woods survived some shenanigans, as Pretty Deadly attempted to trick the referee into thinking New Day hit them with the belts. Instead, things kept going on, and Woods eventually hit the Up Up Down Down on Prince for the win.
