Jackson Drake Captures NXT North American Title After Controversial Finish

WWE posts confirm a Vanity Project tag reign following a post-match attack by Myles Borne that fractured his partnership with Tavion Heights.

Overview

  • Jackson Drake was declared the new NXT North American Champion after a match that featured reported outside interference and a referee missing key action allowing Drake to score the pin.
  • WWE social posts announced The Vanity Project as the new NXT Tag Team Champions, presenting the faction as collecting more gold on the show.
  • At least one report disputes the tag-title finish by saying Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes of Swipe Right pinned Myles Borne, leaving the tag-title account publicly contested.
  • After the North American title match Myles Borne attacked his partner Tavion Heights in a locker-room/behind-the-scenes swerve that immediately ended their alliance and rewrites their storyline roles.
