Kayden Carter and Katana Chance retain WWE NXT Women's Tag Team Titles; current star turns heel

Kayden Carter and Katana Chance have defended their NXT Women's Tag Team Championship against Zoey Stark and Nikkita Lyons in a rematch on this week's episode of NXT.

Two weeks ago, their match had a controversial finish after the illegal competitor was pinned. The bout was restarted, which saw Cater and Chance retain the gold.

The two teams again collided this week in the main event. Although the championship didn't change hands, there was a significant twist at the end. The bout began with Stark and Lyons wearing out Katana Chance. She dropped Zoey with a head scissor, and Kayden tagged in.

The referee was about to hand them the titles, but Zoey Stark and Nikkita Lyons grabbed it to give it to their opponents themselves. Out of nowhere, Stark hit Lyons with the belt, turning heel in the process.
