At the March 7 NXT Live Event in Largo, Florida, the WWE Women’s Tag Team Champions ‘The Boss n Hug Connection’ made a surprise appearance.
The duo were received with a strong “Welcome back!” chant from the crowd.
Bayley said that since they were present at the WrestleMania 36 announcement press conference in Tampa Bay, Florida, they decided to pay a visit to the yellow brand.
They then stayed ringside to watch the triple threat tag team match between the teams of Io Shirai & Kairi Sane vs Aliyah & Vanessa Borne vs Rhea Ripley & Reina Gonzalez.
The match resulted in a no contest when Shirai and Sane got ganged up by the other four women. Banks and Bayley however came to the rescue and cleared the ring.

The WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship can be defended on any brand, including NXT. The champs previously made an appearance on NXT during the February 20 TV tapings at Full Sail University and announced that the tag titles are open for the NXT women to challenge for.
The Boss ‘n’ Hug Connection will make their first title defense against Nia Jax & Tamina at the Fastlane PPV event on March 10 from the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio.
