On the April 8th episode of WWE NXT, The Street Profits made an appearance to motivate Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, who were disappointed after another defeat, this time to The Culling’s Brooks Jensen and Niko Vance.
Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford advised Hank and Tank not to imitate other successful tag teams like The Hardy Boyz, but to believe in themselves and rely on each other. They also revealed that the following week will feature a tag team gauntlet match to decide the contenders facing Fraxiom (Axiom and Nathan Frazer) for the NXT Tag Team Championship at the WWE Stand & Deliver live event.
“BE WHO YOU ARE!”
The Street Profits just gave one hell of a pump-up speech to @HankWalker_WWE and @TankLedgerWWE ahead of next week’s Tag Team Gauntlet Match!

In other matches to be held next week, the outcomes directly affect the championship titles at the show. There are still two slots to be filled for the six-woman ladder match to decide who will become the next NXT Women’s North American Champion.
In this evening’s episode, Sol Ruca beat Jazmyn Nyx and Izzi Dame outperformed Wren Sinclair to qualify. Ava communicated to a group of Superstars that there will be no “last chance” qualifying match, but she has a plan. This caught the group’s attention, and guesses range from a potential battle royal to other means of determining the remaining two spots.

Finally, a Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s match will take place to decide who challenges Ricky Saints for the NXT North American Championship at the pay-per-view. The four contenders will be Ethan Page, Wes Lee, Eddy Thorpe, and Lexis King, who all came forward during a Ricky Saints’ in-ring promotion to announce their interest, resulting in a fight.
So you wanna be the champ?!
