Ranking the best options to win the NXT Tag Team titles at NXT Takeover: XXV

NXT Takeover: XXV from Bridgeport Connecticut is just a few weeks away, and on the recent episode of NXT, we got the confirmation that Adam Cole vs. Johnny Gargano and Shayna Baszler vs. Io Shirai would be on that show. Unfortunately, the tag team division is in turmoil right now, and after War Raiders seemingly relinquished their titles as they pursue gold on Monday Night RAW, there are 4 teams battling it out for the titles.

The card in Connecticut is shaping up to be a great one, with Tyler Breeze vs. Velveteen Dream also a big possibility for the night, and if the tag team action can deliver the fast paced chaos we've come to expect, it may be the best Takeover yet. So without further ado, join us as we look ahead to Takeover and predict from worst to best, the chances of each team in NXT's Fatal 4-Way match for the vacant NXT Tag Team Championships.

#4 Oney Lorcan & Danny Burch

The Brit-Am Brawlers

Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch have been a tag team for quite some time now, and despite their lack of personality or charisma, they've managed to be quite successful so far. Sure, they've not managed to win gold as a duo, but they've been fantastic on both NXT and NXT UK, and while they're the least likely to come out on top here, they'll put in another great performance.

There will always be a place in wrestling for performers like these two, but unfortunately, they just don't stand out in comparison to the other teams on this list, and it certainly hurts their chances of a major push. With Burch working NXT UK as well and Lorcan getting a big time push on 205 Live, this may be their final run as a team, but even if it isn't, we just can't see a victory for the Brit-Am Brawlers here.

#3 Street Profits

Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford

The Street Profits (Angelo Dawkins and Montez Ford) have been showing promise for quite some time now, but after their recent ventures in Evolve, they've clearly become a force to be reckoned with in NXT. Dawkins struggled mightily to find his niche in NXT, and with the younger, more athletic Ford by his side, this could be his ticket to finally winning NXT gold.

They've shown over the past year a great ability to get the Full Sail crowd behind them, and while they're not the most complete team, they're young, athletic and a lot of fun, so there's a bright future ahead of them. If any team could surprise the crowd in Connecticut and come out with a shock victory, it's these guys, but they're still young, so there could be a big story in them chasing a heel team for a victory later in the year, but not here.

#2 Forgotten Sons

The new trio on the Block, Forgotten Sons

The Forgotten Sons are quite new to the NXT scene, but with all 3 physically imposing stars on the same page, it's hard to imagine that they'll be kept from the NXT Tag Team Championships for much longer. The trio of Jaxon Ryker, Wesley Blake and Steve Cutler may be playing your prototypical 'biker bad-ass' gimmick, but the three are fantastic in the role, and could be a fun heel team at the top.

The first team on our list are obviously much better as a group, but these guys could pull out the surprise win, and with all the talented babyface teams coming through the ranks, they could be great foil. Ultimately, we don't think it's going to happen, as they still have to improve and flesh out the gimmick quite a lot, but a shocking win for these guys could make the NXT tag team division very entertaining in the near future.

#1 The Undisputed Era

The most successful group in NXT history, and that's Undisputed

The Undisputed Era are arguably the most accomplished tag team in NXT history, and with Adam Cole chasing NXT gold on this show too, it's possible that this is the Era's chance to be all draped in gold. They've got back on the same page in the last few episodes of NXT before Takeover, and with all 4 men healthy and focused on a clear goal, it's going to be hard to stop the duo formerly known as ReDragon.

It may be boring to crown them yet again to some fans, especially with Street Profits being an exciting young team, but they're the safe bet here, and there's a longer arching story for NXT to tell with them. Ultimately, it's smart to keep this quartet together, as they are merchandise machines and just fantastic as a whole group, and with 3 new gold belts around them, NXT would have a story to build around for the rest of 2019.
