Vanity Project to Defend NXT Tag Titles Against El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. & Galeno on Upcoming NXT

Two title matches have been confirmed for an upcoming episode of WWE NXT, with a pair of AAA talents set to compete for championship gold.

During the Great American Bash, it was announced that Vanity Project will put the NXT Tag Team Championships on the line against the brother team of El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno. The inclusion of the two Mexican stars adds an international flavor to the NXT title picture and continues to deepen the working relationship between WWE and AAA.

Altogether, four matches have been announced for the upcoming NXT broadcast, making for a loaded card as the brand continues to build momentum off the Great American Bash event. The NXT Tag Team Titles have been a focal point of the brand’s programming, and a fresh challenger team with established lucha libre pedigree is a notable test for the reigning champions.

El Hijo del Dr. Wagner Jr. carries a famous last name in lucha libre — his father, Dr. Wagner Jr., is one of the most recognizable figures in Mexican wrestling history — and pairing him with Galeno as a brother tandem gives the challengers an instant sense of identity and stakes heading into the match. How Vanity Project responds to that challenge remains to be seen, but the title defense figures to be one of the highlights of the upcoming episode.
