Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan have been made to vacate the NXT Tag Team Championships after Burch suffered a separated shoulder on last week's show.

NXT General Manager William Regal announced the decision on Twitter yesterday, promising further updates on tonight's episode:-

Prior to this, WWE host Matt Camp officially confirmed the separated shoulder, which was suffered when Burch and Lorcan were wrestling Karrion Kross and Finn Balor:-

Lorcan is now set to go one-on-one with Kross tonight, having demanded the match on Twitter. Oney had been left to defeat his opponents alone when Burch was hurt on a double suplex spot last week.

Burch and Lorcan had been NXT Tag Team Champions since October 2020, when they took the straps from Breezango. Their reign brought successful defences against Breezango in their rematch, Drake Maverick and Killian Dain, and Kross and Balor.
