WWE main roster tag team set for match at NXT Deadline

The New Day will be heading to NXT Deadline and will face Pretty Deadly in a match for the NXT Tag Team Championships.

This week on NXT, Pretty Deadly held a special “Night Before Christmas” segment in the ring. During the segment, the duo declared themselves the greatest NXT tag team of all-time and bragged about beating every team there was to beat on the NXT roster. The New Day made a surprise appearance on the show and confronted Pretty Deadly before challenging them to a match. Both teams got a little physical in the ring and the New Day stood tall. Later in the show, the match was made official for NXT Deadline.
