NXT WarGames 2021 - Best and Worst - Unique tag team split, Johnny Gargano's final match?

#2 Best: Kyle O'Reilly outsmarts Von Wagner at NXT WarGames

NXT WarGames seemed like the beginning of the end for Kyle O'Reilly. His WWE contract is set to expire, with no indication of him re-signing with the company. O'Reilly teamed with Von Wagner to put over Imperium, following an excellent NXT Tag Team Championship match.

The European grapplers looked their best at NXT WarGames, with a combination of grace and brutality in the ring.

However, things did not end there. Wagner turned on O'Reilly, but the veteran struck first. He outsmarted the young star, showcasing a unique side of tag team splits.

Kyle O'Reilly will face Von Wagner this Tuesday in a Steel Cage Match in what might be his final bout under the WWE umbrella. If he performs as well as he did at NXT WarGames, Wagner could become a made man.

#2 Worst: GYV are not scammers

While Imperium is thriving as NXT Tag Team Champions, another duo of talented heels have been struggling. The Grizzled Young Veterans should be in the title scene but have been reduced to scamming people for free food.

A vignette during NXT WarGames saw the two enjoying free chicken wings, which is not the ideal scenario for any WWE Superstar during a pay-per-view. Zack Gibson and James Drake don't gain anything from being sneaky heels in everyday situations. They should save these tactics for the ring.

This is a complete waste of The Grizzled Young Veterans and their incredible talent. Hopefully, NXT turns things around with them.
