Bron Breakker & Carmelo Hayes def. Pretty Deadly

Ahead of their highly anticipated NXT Championship at NXT Stand & Deliver, Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes team up to take on the hosts of Stand & Deliver, Pretty Deadly. Catch WWE action on Peacock, WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India, and more. #WWENXT

Before facing each other for the NXT Championship at Stand & Deliver, Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes teamed up to take down the hosts of Stand & Deliver, Pretty Deadly. 

Breakker and Hayes clearly don’t see eye to eye, but managed to put their differences aside as Breakker saved Hayes numerous times from the dastardly Elton Prince & Kit Wilson. 

The two main eventers of Stand & Deliver even showed off some tandem offense of their own with Breakker launching Hayes right at Pretty Deadly in stunning fashion. 

Both Prince & Wilson used their tag team symmetry to keep it close, but a double knees to the face from Hayes, followed immediately by a spear from Breakker and ultimately a Nothing But Net clinched the win for the unlikely duo.
