WWE.com posted the following this evening, announcing that the WWE NXT Women’s Tag-Team Championship match that was scheduled for tonight has been changed as Jessi Kamea is out with an injury. Due to this, Mercedes Martinez will be teaming with Aliyah to face Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon.
You can check out the official announcement below:
Shotzi Blackheart & Ember Moon didn’t have to wait long for challengers to emerge courtesy of The Robert Stone Brand.
But with Jessi Kamea sidelined, they’ll face a curveball in their first title defense against Aliyah and Mercedes Martinez tonight on NXT.
One week after stunning Raquel González & Dakota Kai to capture the titles, Blackheart & Moon ran into Stone and company, who laid down the challenge. The champions didn’t hesitate to accept.
However, Kamea has suffered an injury, leaving Aliyah without a partner — until Robert Stone convinced Martinez to step in thanks to a special incentive.
Can Blackheart & Moon “TCB” against Aliyah & Martinez? Tune in to NXT tonight at 8/7 C on USA Network to find out!
