WWEs NXT Tag Team Championships are heading outside the company once againthis time to Booker Ts Reality of Wrestling promotion in Texas.
On June 14, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger will put their NXT Tag Team Titles on the line against Big Luther and Terrale Tempo at the Power Shift event, which takes place at the Walker Texas Lawyer Arena in Texas City. Reality of Wrestling officially confirmed the matchup on June 6 via Twitter, posting:
This isnt the first time WWE has allowed its titles to be defended outside its own ring. Earlier this year, Nathan Frazer and Axiom took the NXT Tag Team Titles to TNA iMPACT, successfully defending them twiceonce against The Rascalz and again versus Nic and Ryan Nemeth.
Hank & Tank arent strangers to Reality of Wrestling either. The powerhouse duo previously won the ROW Tag Team Titles back in December 2024 and held them for 84 days before returning full-time to NXT. Now, theyre returning with even more gold on the line.
Owned by WWE Hall of Famer and current NXT commentator Booker T, Reality of Wrestling has become a cross-promotional hub for NXT talent. Wrestlers like Trick Williams, Wren Sinclair, and Jacy Jayne have also made appearances, further fueling WWEs more collaborative approach to the industry in 2025.
The NXT Tag Team Championship match at Power Shift is shaping up to be a major spotlight for Reality of Wrestlingand another sign WWE isnt keeping its gold locked behind the walls of the Performance Center.
