The Vanity Project kept their hold over their belts on tonight’s Stand & Deliver Premium Live Event, as Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor retained the NXT Tag Team Championship against Los Americanos (Rayo and Bravo Americano).
The high-paced match saw interferences from both El Grande Americano II and Vanity Project leader Jackson Drake. At one point in the match, El Grande Americano II slipped on a metal plate to Bravo. However, Bravo couldn’t use it to his advantage and was taken down by the defending champs.
Later, Smokes pulled out the object from Bravo’s mask and hid it in his trunks. Later, he gave it to Jackson Drake, who, despite being Speared by El Grande Americano II, recovered in time to clock Bravo with it. This allowed Smokes to hit a double stomp and secure the pinfall for his team.
The Vanity Project’s reign as NXT Tag Team Champions currently stands at 40 days. Baylor and Smokes captured the belts from DarkState on the February 24, 2026, episode of NXT.
