Summary

A mixed tag team match has been added to the April 7 episode of WWE NXT, with Blake Monroe teaming with Jackson Drake against Tatum Paxley and Shiloh Hill.

The match was announced by Robert Stone ahead of the show. It also follows Paxley’s successful defense against Monroe at NXT Stand & Deliver, which keeps that rivalry active on television even after the title match result.

Updated WWE NXT lineup

The announced card for the April 7 episode includes:

  • Tournament to crown a new NXT Speed Champion begins
  • Jasper Troy vs. Keanu Carver vs. Josh Briggs
  • Lola Vice NXT Women’s Championship celebration
  • Sol Ruca vs. Izzi Dame
  • Shiloh Hill and Tatum Paxley vs. Blake Monroe and Jackson Drake

What this means for Tatum Paxley and Blake Monroe

Paxley and Monroe being placed right back into a mixed tag match gives NXT an immediate way to carry their Stand & Deliver issue onto weekly TV, while also bringing Shiloh Hill and Jackson Drake into the orbit of that feud.

It also gives Paxley another featured spot as Women’s North American Champion, which helps keep that title visible on the show after her weekend defense.
