A new pair of NXT World Tag Team Champions were crowned at NXT No Mercy, and Ridge Holland turned on his former friends.
The duo of Nathan Frazer and Axiom stunned the NXT crowd by re-capturing the NXT Tag Team Championships. Chase and Holland had previously beat Axiom and Frazer to win the titles on the August 13 episode of NXT. Frazer and Axiom then defeated Duke Hudson and Riley Osborne of Chase U to earn a rematch, which they capitalized on.
The finish saw Axiom kick out of a massive backstabber/powerbomb combo, and then hit a Spanish Fly off the top-rope onto Chase for the win. After the match, however, Ridge Holland had had enough, and betrayed his Chase U teammates, knocking down Duke Hudson and Riley Osborn, and then hitting a 187 DDT on Chase on the commentary desk.
