Becoming the latest victim of unexpected injury, Jessi Kamea was ruled out of herself and Aliyah's upcoming NXT Women's Tag Team Championship match on this week's show. So, Robert Stone offered Mercedes Martinez a decent sum of cash (that she would like the second half of post-match) to step in at the last minute.

Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon weren't intimidated by the introduction of Martinez in the slightest, however, quickly isolating the former NXT title challenger with rapid tag team offence and a Blackheart dive from the top rope. But some typical Robert Stone interference soon opened the door for his Brand to regain the advantage.

In the end, though, a fierce Moon hot tag eventually led to Martinez being DDT'd out of the contest by Blackheart and the former NXT Women's Champion nailing Aliyah with an Eclipse for the win.

This match likely won't live long in the memory, but it helped reinforce the Champions as a cohesive unit, even if the team they were originally set to face and the duo they eventually met largely didn't deserve a title shot in the first place.

Yet, if these belts are going to go on to actually mean something in the near future, an actual, you know, storyline and programme may be worth a shot in the near future...
