Last night's Great American Bash special's three title matches yielded one title change, as WWE pulled the trigger on Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez defeating now-former NXT Tag Team Champions Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne of Toxic Attraction.

The babyfaces felled their rivals in the opener. After weeks of build, Perez pinned Dolin with her Pop Rocks finisher, having survived an interference from NXT Women's Champion Mandy Rose, who was thrown out by the referee after trying to intervene on behalf of her Toxic stablemates.

Neither Perez nor Jade has held an NXT championship before. They ended Jayne and Dolin's second Tag Team Title reign at 91 days, with the Toxic Attraction duo's run featuring just one successful defence - against Perez and Wendy Choo on NXT's 10 May episode.

Dolin and Jayne took the belts from Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez on 5 April. Prior to this, the duo's first run lasted 158 days.

Perez now has a shot at becoming a double champion. Next week's NXT 2.0 will have her challenge Rose for the NXT Women's Title, having punched her ticket for that shot by winning this year's women's Breakout Tournament on the developmental brand.
