During the April 8th WWE NXT show, The Street Profits made an appearance to boost the morale of Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, who were feeling down after suffering yet another loss in their match against The Culling’s Brooks Jensen and Niko Vance.
Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford of the Street Profits encouraged Hank and Tank to embrace their unique style and rely on each other, instead of trying to copy the techniques of other tag teams, such as The Hardy Boyz. Additionally, they revealed that a tag team gauntlet match will be held next week to select the competitors who will challenge Fraxiom (Axiom and Nathan Frazer) for the NXT Tag Team Championship at the WWE Stand & Deliver premium 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!

Several matches slated for next week will have a direct influence on subsequent title contests. Specifically, two entrants for the six-woman ladder match to determine the holder of the NXT Women’s North American Championship remain to be identified.
In the latest episode, Sol Ruca and Izzi Dame qualified for the ladder match by defeating Jazmyn Nyx and Wren Sinclair respectively. Though specific qualifying matches have not been announced yet, Ava notified a group of Superstars that there would be no “last chance” qualifier but hinted that she had another plan to fill the remaining spots.

Lastly, a Fatal 4-Way No. 1 Contender’s match is scheduled to determine the challenger for Ricky Saints at the pay-per-view event for the NXT North American Championship. Ethan Page, Wes Lee, Eddy Thorpe, and Lexis King will compete in this match as they had earlier challenged Ricky Saints and ended up in a melee.
So you wanna be the champ?!
