On the October 14, 2025 episode of NXT, Hank & Tank and Chase University talked amongst each other, with Lyra Valkyria looking on. The men talked about who was going to be contenders for the Hardy Boyz’ NXT Tag Team Championships after DarkState. Valkyria, however, was looking for her friend Tatum Paxley. That was when Paxley and the rest of the Culling showed up.
Izzi Dame didn’t allow her to hug Valkyria, then insulted the two tag teams standing before her. Hank and Tank, offended, wanted a triple threat match in honor of the Hardy Boyz. The match was made official, but while that was being done, a returning OTM was waiting to spoil the party.
OTM Causes the Match to End in a No Contest
This match was a big one for all three tag teams. Hank and Tank could finally reclaim the titles that DarkState took from them. Chase U’s Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors can finally make Andre Chase and the University proud. The Culling’s Niko Vance and Shawn Spears have a chance to bring first-time tag team gold to the group. Every team had very valid reasonings for winning the triple threat match.
BUSINESS JUST PICKED UP.

A win would set them up to potentially get a match with the winner of the Tag Team Championship match at Halloween Havoc. With that in mind, the six competitors in the match certainly brought the intensity. With three men in the ring at the same time, seconds passed between each pinfall.
At one point, two teams worked together. Connors and Tank hit Vance with a superkick after he headbutted Connors. The worst thing that can happen in a match like this is if all three legal men are down. That’s exactly what happened. Hank and Tank executed a double back suplex on Spears after Vance was thrown out of the ring. That allowed Connors and Dixon to splash the two of them to the mat.
With all the men down, it would be interesting to see who would get to their feet first. That’s when the duo of Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, better known as OTM made their return. This was their first appearance on NXT since May. Coincidentally, they defeated Connors and Dixon in their first match as the new Chase University. Nima and Price collectively attacked everyone, causing a no contest to be ruled.
With OTM back, the NXT tag team division just got stronger. Nima and Price are two giant men capable of insane destruction. Their return just changed everything for the tag team division. Whoever wins the belts at Halloween Havoc should watch their back because OTM will surely be on the hunt for the championships.
