The road to NXT Stand and Deliver is experiencing major shifts each and every week as the finish line approaches and tonight’s edition of NXT was no different with a huge challenge laid out by a main roster team and accepted by top dogs of the NXT tag division.
During the start of tonight’s NXT show emanating from the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, FL, The Alpha Academy members, Otis, Akira Tozawa, and Maxxine Dupri were spotted during a backstage segment when Meta-Four were discussing Noam Dar’s upcoming match with Trick Williams.
They reappeared once again later on, this time interrupting none other than the NXT Tag Team Champions, Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin during their backstage interview to make things clear on their trip down to the developmental territory.
Witnessing the epic tag team encounter that saw Axiom and Nathan Frazer emerge victorious and secure their spot in the triple-threat WWE NXT Tag Team Championship at Stand and Deliver, the Alpha Academy threw their name in the hat and made their intentions crystal for being inserted into the match.
With their vision clear on the road to Stand and Deliver, they issued a challenge for a high-stakes match to the tag champions, Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin for next week’s NXT with the implication that should they emerge victorious, Alpha Academy would be added to the monumental tag team title match at NXT Stand and Deliver, which they accepted.
Do you think Otis and Akira Tozawa can defeat Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker next week on NXT? Sound off in the comments!
