Winners: AOP

While Seth Rollins and Buddy Murphy have been put over in this story, the former NXT tag team champions, AOP (Authors of Pain), have lingered in the background as the muscle. That changed last night, when Rezar won the match for his team with a pair of spinebusters.

How the team of Kevin Owens and the Viking Raiders responds remains to be seen, as does the overall direction of this story, but it's making everyone involved interesting. AOP is now at the best they've been since NXT, as are the Viking Raiders, who are finally doing something other than squashing jobbers.

So far, so good.


Loser: Aleister Black

One squash match was fine, but we're now heading into the territory of the WWE brass not knowing what to do with Aleister Black as WrestleMania moves closer. The former NXT Champion said he was coming for everybody, but we still need to find out what, if anything, is waiting for him.

In other words, he needs a real feud with a formidable opponent. Buddy Murphy, who he defeated three times, is quickly gathering more momentum than him right now. Let's hope Paul Heyman has something up his sleeve.
