The NXT Tag Team Championship is no longer held by Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan.
William Regal made the call on Tuesday afternoon, vacating the championship after the news of Burch’s injury was announced by Matt Camp of WWE Digital.
I can confirm this incredibly unfortunate news and make the difficult decision to vacate the #WWENXT Tag Team Titles. Furthermore, I will address the state of the titles further tomorrow night on @WWENXT.
Burch suffered a shoulder injury on last week’s episode of NXT, and was listed on the weekly NXT Injury Report on Friday. The report (usually announces storyline and legit injuries) claimed Burch likely suffered a separated shoulder in the main event and was expected to be “out of action for a while” if the injury was as severe as it was initially believed. Camp confirmed the separation, posting a photo of the X-ray on Tuesday.
Burch and Lorcan successfully defended their titles in the main event of last week’s episode of NXT against Finn Balor and Karrion Kross. Their reign ends at 151 days; they beat Breezango for the titles on the August 26, 2020 episode of NXT
