WWE NXT UK Takeover: Cardiff: 5 Takeaways from the PPV

#3 NXT Tag Team Championship Triple Threat ends with WWE history being made

With WWE adding more brands seemingly regularly, and with WWE's roster getting more international almost as regularly, these historic "firsts" in regards to title reigns are becoming more common. That doesn't mean they're any less special - consider Kofi Kingston's WrestleMania 35 victory, becoming the first African-born WWE Champion.

Pro wrestling is made of moments and these types of moments are always exciting.

Take, for instance, the NXT UK Tag Team Championship victory of Mark Andrews and Flash Morgan Webster, who have become the first two Welsh wrestlers to win a WWE title. The acrobatic tag team defeated Gallus and champions Grizzled Young Veterans in a spectacular Triple Threat match.

Now, you could say "well, it's only NXT UK, so it's not a big deal" or "of course they won, they were in their home country and WWE loves to do that stuff." You could say that. But don't. Because that's the kind of crap that a jerk would say and you're better than that.

It wasn't just the pride and excitement on the faces of the new champions, either, realizing they made history - but the Cardiff audience, as well, as they finally have two Welsh performers to admire ever since Mason Ryan burned out of the company a few years ago.

I also hope the team cuts at least one promo in that crazy moon man language the Welsh speak sometimes because that stuff is amazing.

Seriously, though, congrats to the new champs and there - no joke about it - historic achievement.
