The Vanity Project’s Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes are still NXT Tag Team Champions after defeating AAA’s Galeno and Dr. Wagner Jr. on Tuesday’s edition of “WWE NXT.” The champions had help, after all, from Jackson Drake and Myka Lockwood at ringside.<\/p>\n

Galeno and Smokes began off the match, with Smokes trying desperately to get the larger man off his feet, however it wasn’t long before each teams tagged of their respective partners. Wagner took out the champions on the skin, flying excessive rope.<\/p>\n

Baylor was overpowered by Galeno, who hit him with a giant splash after running the ropes, however the champion kicked out. Smokes was in a position to tag in, but he was quickly taken to the challenger’s corner, where Wagner nailed him with a giant dropkick.<\/p>\n

Drake attempted to distract Wagner, and Smokes almost had him rolled up for the victory. Balor held up Wagner and Smokes hit him with a dropkick before Baylor slammed him to the canvas. The challengers held on, and Wagner went to the highest rope, then as much as Galeno’s shoulders, to hit a splash to Balor.<\/p>\n

Smokes tried to interfere and Galeno hit him with a back body drop, by chance breaking up the pin to Balor. After one other distraction from Drake, Vanity Project hit their double stomp-reverse DDT finisher to pin Wagner for the win.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n
