The second title match from this week of NXT would see the NXT Tag Team Champions Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne make their first defense as they faced the men they took the titles from. Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish of Undisputed Era have made it abundantly clear that they want to become 4 time champions, and prove Riddle & Dunnes win at NXT Takeover Portland was a fluke.
But First, Velveteen Dream
All four members of Undisputed Era made their way to the ring for this match, and while they expected the music of Riddle & Dunne, instead they would be treated to The Velveteen Dream Experience. Perched above the announce table, Dream would preach to the era that he will be the one to take the NXT Championship from Adam Cole. He would also mock Roderick Strong for falling so hard for his mind games, saying his tights which had Roderick Strong’s wife & son on them were just that, tights with faces on them. Adam Cole would fire back saying Dream hasn’t earned a shot, and claimed he was more focused on his celebration next week as he becomes the longest reigning NXT Champion of all time. Things nearly came to blows but Matt Riddle & Pete Dunne would make their way to the ring.
Broserweights Retain The NXT Tag Team Championships
Considering the talent in the ring and how good their past match was, it was no surprise that this match was fantastic. Things started off slow with Pete Dunne & Kyle O’Reilly unable to get a start for their respective teams, and would descend quickly into a tag team classic. The insane chemistry of Fish & O’Reilly would have them isolate Matt Riddle for a good chunk of the match, but this just lead to a huge hot tag from Pete Dunne who cleaned house. All four members of Undisputed Era would meet outside, only for Riddle to soar over the top rope and take them all out.
What followed was a move that would make even Eddie Guerrero blush. Riddle threw Adam Cole in the ring, and Dunne would pretend to take a superkick. This would prompt the referee to throw both Strong & Cole out of the match. Having removed the outside members, Broserweights would settle in on a victory, but Grizzed Young Veterans came down to enter themselves into the match. Through their distractions, Broserweights were able to put an end to Undisputed Era once again.
With Grizzled Young Veterans tainting this victory, we could see both them and Undisputed Era get a tag team title shot at NXT Takeover Tampa. This could mean two big triple threat title matches, as the North American Championship is headed in a similar direction.
