🏆 Champions with Grit: Hank & Tank’s Meteoric Rise
Hank & Tank weren’t handed anything—they earned it. The duo powered through a punishing gauntlet match at Stand & Deliver, outlasting the best teams in NXT. With legends like #DIY and Motor City Machine Guns offering their endorsement, they dethroned FrAxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom), ending their dominant run as champions.
đź’Ą Title Defense Chaos: First Test of Champions
On April 29’s episode of NXT, Hank & Tank made their first televised defense against Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura, who had politicked their way into a title shot. Despite intense action and outside chaos, the champs retained their gold with a crushing double-team powerslam finish.
