Eight-Man Tag Team Match
The August 5 edition of NXT saw DarkState attack NXT Champion Oba Femi and TNA World Champion Trick Williams. The two champions worked together to fend off DarkState, before being joined by Je’Von Evans and TNA’s Moose.
Following this brawl, NXT General Manager Ava announced that the two sides would face each other in an eight-man tag team match. This will certainly be an intriguing match, bringing together different motivations and attitudes, but will they all complement each other to defeat DarkState?
Get ready for a HUGE 8-Man Tag Team Match THIS TUESDAY on #WWENXT!
