The challengers almost stole the win with blind tags and double-team moves, but Morgan and Rodriguez’s chemistry held firm.
After returning to NXT for the first time since 2017, Morgan delivered the Oblivion after Raquel neutralized Dolin. The pinfall secured their title defense and reaffirmed their dominance as the top women’s team in WWE.
