#4 Was it the right call to allow MSK to win at WWE NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day?

MSK broke into WWE NXT at the start of the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Classic. MSK was revealed as the sixteenth team in the tournament and immediately made an impact by defeating Jake Atlas and Isaiah "Swerve" Scott in the first round.

MSK then defeated Drake Maverick and Killian Dain in the quarter-finals of the tournament, followed by Legado del Fantasma in the semi-finals. The Grizzled Young Veterans stood in MSK’s way in the final, but the new team defeated them too at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day.

While GYV was seen as the more established team in the tournament, who came out as the runners up last year, WWE decided to give MSK the push this year. Was it the right call to allow MSK to pick up such a big victory so early in their careers at Vengeance Day? MSK has a big following from before their time in NXT. However, WWE could have waited sometime before giving them the Dusty Rhodes Classic Trophy and a shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships.

Will the move pay off in the long run? Also, are the creatives looking to fast-track the team to the main roster?
