Rose defended the title on last night's episode against current Women's Tag Team Champion Roxanne Perez, with her partner Cora Jade at ringside. Rose would retain her title after Jade turned on Perez, giving her the chance to hit the Bicycle Knee and make the pin. Jade would then brutally attack Perez with a skateboard after the match.

Rose returned to "NXT" last July, aligning herself with Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne to form Toxic Attraction. She won the title at "Halloween Havoc" last year to dethrone Raquel Gonzalez. She has since gone on to beat challengers such as Gonzalez, Alba Fyre, Io Shirai and Cora Jade.

The rest of the card for the show is currently as follows:
