WWE NXT Preview 7/29/15: Tag Team Championship Match

By Andrew Meola | Jul 29, 2015 10:58 AM EDT

The July 29, 2015 edition of WWE's NXT will feature an NXT Tag Team Championship match between Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy and The Vaudevillains.

Many fans expected Enzo Amore and Big Cass to be in this slot when the Realest Guys in the Room faced off with Simon Gotch and Aiden English several weeks ago in a No. 1 Contender's match. But the Vaudevillains surprised many fans by picking up the win and earning tonight's shot against the champions. Alexa Bliss' boys are out to prove that they are the undisputed kings of the mountain, while the Vaudevillains want to finally clear the hurdle and hoist the belts.

Will the Vaudevillains be able to pin the champions and take the belts, or will Blake and Murphy retain the belts and roll into NXT Takeover: Brooklyn with the title and, perhaps, new challengers?

Last week, Bayley got her revenge over Emma and then cut a post-match promo in which she proclaimed her desire to be NXT Women's Champion. But before that, she wants to prove herself by finally defeating her longtime rival, Charlotte. But the daughter of Ric Flair has business to handle in Dana Brooke first. So what will Bayley do tonight while Charlotte likely pummels Dana? And what about Eva Marie, who had a relatively impressive showing last week in her in-ring debut in NXT?

Elsewhere, Kevin Owens turned the contract signing with Finn Balor for their NXT Championship match at Takeover: Brooklyn into a melee when he attacked General Manager William Regal and tried to take out Balor. But the champion was ready for the assault and halted Owens in his tracks. Owens is busy with Cesaro now on the main roster, so what will Balor do in the meantime?

Tyler Breeze demanded a big match at Takeover: Brooklyn from Regal last week, but the General Manager only said he was "working on it." Will Regal reveal Breeze's opponent tonight?

As always, check back with MStars immediately after the show for a full recap of all the action. But for now, let us know your thoughts, opinions, guesses, and predictions for tonight's show in the comments section.

In case you missed it, here are the results of last week's episode.

The episode begins with new NXT Champion, who comes out to a loud "You deserve it!" chant. He says he made numerous sacrifices to get to this point, but as soon as he hoisted the belt, he knew it was all worth it. He talks about all of Kevin Owens' accomplishments but says the one thing he could not do was beat Finn Balor in Tokyo.

Eva Marie makes her in-ring debut in NXT and beats Kassey with a suplex.

Tyler Breeze interrupts General Manager William Regal during a phone call backstage and says he wants a big match at Takeover because he's not involved in the title match. Regal says he is working on it.

Baron Corbin defeats an opponent so quickly that we don't even learn the poor victim's name.

Samoa Joe defeats Mike Rallis with the Muscle Buster even though Rallis puts up a decent fight.

Bayley returns to action and defeats Emma with the Bayley-to-Belly. She gets on the microphone after the match and says that felt so good. The crowd chants "Welcome back" and Bayley says she wants to be NXT Women's Champion. But first, she wants to prove herself, so she wants a match with Charlotte.

The Vaudevillains defeat Chad Gable and Jason Jordan.

Backstage, Alexa Bliss stands with Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy and says the NXT Tag Team Champions will roll through the Vaudevillains next week.

William Regal is out for the contract signing, and Owens interrupts him as he hypes the match for Takeover. Balor then comes out, and Owens asks him how it feels to be champion but still be the underdog. He says he's going to become the first two-time NXT Champion when he proves that Japan was just a fluke. Balor says he's going to shove those words down Owens' throat. Both men sign the contract, and the match is official.

Of course, Owens flips the table at Balor. He then punches William Regal and goes after Balor, but the champion is able to run him off and stand tall as the show goes off the air.
