NXT Vengeance Day 2023: Title Match; 2-out-of-3 falls & more announced for WWE PLE

Bengaluru, January 25: In a surprising turn of events, the formerly bitter rivals Kiana James and Fallon Henley could become the next NXT Women's Tag Team Champions at the NXT Vengeance Day premium live event within two weeks.

The two women having personal beef for months on NXT programming ended up winning the number-one contender's match for NXT Women's Tag Team Championships by winning a match against Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley.

Henley and James acted as cohorts as the latter freed Henley from a submission by Nile before Henley pinned her with a Shining Wizard on the January 24 episode of NXT.

Soon after the win over Nile and Paxley, Brooks Jensen revealed in a backstage segment that he approached WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels so that his love interest (Kiana James) and good friend (Fallon Henley) receive a title shot.

Afterward, WWE officially announced Kiana James & Fallon Henley vs. Kayden Carter & Katana Chance for the NXT Women's Tag Team Titles for the upcoming NXT Vengeance Day premium live event.

Carter and Chance are in possession of the NXT women's tag team championships since the August 2 episode of WWE NXT where they won a four-way match against former champions Toxic Attraction, Nile & Paxley, and Valentina Feroz & Yulisa Leon.

Since winning the gold, they've successfully defended it against the likes of Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend, Elektra Lopez & Kiana James, Doudrop & Nikki A.S.H., and Nikkita Lyons & Zoey Stark.

The Dyads vs. Chase U vs. Edris Enofe & Malik Blade is the lineup of this triple threat. The winner of this contest will be added to the NXT Tag Team Championship Match at Vengeance Day.

Plus, The Creed Brothers (Julius Creed and Brutus Creed) will finally be able to get their hands on Indus Sher (Veer Mahaan and Sanga) after weeks of ambushes from behind.

Ivy Nile accepted Jinder Mahal's challenge on behalf of the Indian superstar during NXT after The Creeds defeated Drew Gulak and Hank Walker in a tag team match.

Cora Jade's ongoing rivalry with Lyra Valkyria will also continue as they'll meet in a one-on-one encounter. Jade cost Lyra her spot in the 20-woman battle royal for a number-one contender's spot for the NXT women's title, a couple of weeks ago.
