A potential NXT title match against Santos Escobar has been tased for Vengeance Day. After an in-ring confrontation, Legado del Fantasma tried to attack the champion Bron Breakker in the parking lot.
Tommaso Ciampa appeared and backed up Breakker which led to a 2-on-3 tag team match for next week. This match is expected to escalate the feud between Breakker and Legado del Fantasma leader Santos Escobar which should produce a singles contest over the NXT title at Vengeance Day.
Originally, this event was hosted as a TakeOver Specials, last year on February 14. On that night, Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez won the inaugural Women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic finals while MSK won the Men’s Dusty Classic finals.
Johnny Gargano retained the NXT North American Title over Kushida, Io Shirai retained the NXT Women’s Title over Toni Storm and Mercedes Martinez in a Triple Threat, and Finn Balor retained the NXT Title over Pete Dunne.
