During WWE NXT on November 10, 2026, Vanity Project's Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes successfully defended their Tag Team Championship against surprise challengers Hank Walker and Tank Ledger. The match began after Walker and Ledger were named as replacements for Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno, who were unable to compete due to an earlier attack by Baylor and Smokes. Despite several near-falls that nearly led to a title change, distractions from North American Champion Jackson Drake allowed Vanity Project to secure their victory. This marks the first title defense for Baylor and Smokes since regaining the championship in August.
