Presently, the NXT division is affording arguably the best tag team wrestling within WWE. Moreover, perhaps even equal to the independent scene. Considering teams such as; The Young Bucks are mainstays outside WWE, that says a lot for the NXT brand, (watch the video below).
Nevertheless, current champions Undisputed Era are likely to be moving to the main roster in upcoming months. Therefore, who could take their mantle?
Regardless, of which team dethrones Undisputed Era, it is clear that the entertainment value will remain strong. Every tag team within NXT has been performing exponentially in their own right. Therefore, contender-ship options are almost endless. Ultimately, WWE are in an excellent position right now.
However, who has the credentials to dethrone Undisputed Era? Who will become the new NXT Tag Team champions?
#3 The Forgotten Sons
Jason Ryker, Steve Cutler, and Wesley Blake are collectively known as, The Forgotten Sons. Since their debut, they have progressed exponentially. Perhaps, they could even supersede Undisputed Era's level of success. Whether that happens or not, at present The Forgotten Sons are refreshing to watch.
Each member has a unique background. When brought together they have proven to be a dangerous threat. Although not generally the group's leader, Jason Ryker has a plethora of experience, due to his time performing as Gunner in TNA (now Impact Wrestling). Arguably, the most within the group. Therefore, cementing their position as direct rivals to Undisputed Era. Specifically, because Adam Cole and Jason Ryker are so similar.
Nevertheless, of their history, The Forgotten Sons are making waves in the tag team scene. Their performances are steadily improving. On November 7th during an NXT show, they competed against Heavy Machinery, (watch the video below).
This match solidified their threat to the NXT Tag Team Champions. Moreover, potentially setting the scene for The Forgotten Sons to replace Undisputed Era. Could there be an Undisputed Era main roster debut on the cards?
#2 Street Profits
Throughout their tenure, Ford and Dawkins have developed into an excellent tag team. Their success led them to the semi-finals of the Dusty Rhodes Classic. However, the Author's of Pain would reach the finals. Nevertheless, their impressive efforts garnered intrigue. Moreover, helped improve tag team wrestling into 2018, on NXT.
Recently NXT performers began appearing on Evolve television, starting with Velveteen Dream. At Evolve 114, The Street Profits captured the tag team championship. Their performance was refreshing and entertaining.
Therefore, considering their success, when could fans expect them to earn NXT Tag Team championships. Ultimately, this team has the credentials, (watch the video below).
#1 War Raiders
Tag Team wrestling has boomed in recent years, particularly on the independent circuit. Promotions like; ROH have afforded excellent matches and teams. Notably, The Young Bucks, The Briscoes, and SoCal Uncensored. However, one particular tag team stood out.
That team was Hanson & Rowe, then known as War Machine. They garnered success everywhere, notably in; ROH, ICW, Rev Pro, NJPW, and Progress Wrestling. Their success has been extensive.
At NXT Takeover: New Orleans Hanson & Rowe debuted now known as; War Raiders. Since then War Raiders have been on a winning streak, defeating teams; The Mighty, and Heavy Machinery. Ultimately they dominance has been a refreshing necessity for NXT. However, they have also made an impact elsewhere. At NXT WarGames 2018 War Raiders will team with Pete Dunne and Ricochet, to battle Undisputed Era, in a wargames match.
On October 31st during an NXT show, War Raiders and Undisputed Era became embroiled in a showdown. Subsequently, Richochet and Pete Dunne would intervene to assist War Raiders, preventing their assault from Undisputed Era, (watch the video below).
With War Raiders involvement in WarGames, it sets up an excellent opportunity, War Raiders versus Undisputed Era, for the NXT Tag Team championship. What could we expect from NXT Takeover: WarGames?
