Drake Maverick is determined to make Killian Dain his tag team partner, and has spent the last two weeks coming up with ideas to make them the best team around. He’s even set up a match with Ever-Rise for tonight. This was all a surprise to Dain, who has been ignoring Maverick, but thankfully he’s always ready to get into the ring.
Drake Maverick & Killian Dain Are Getting There
Dain would ruin the planned entrance, stopping Mavericks dancing and getting right to action. He’d let Maverick start off against with a tag harder than most chops, and Chase Parker would take control early before tagging in Matt Martel. Maverick took him down with a leg lariat, and Dain told him to press the advantage. This would distract Maverick, Martel hit a lariat and yelled that ‘Dain hates you!’, which Dain nodded along with.
However, Martel would take a cheap shot on Dain after Parker was tagged in, and pissed the big man off. He’d break up a pin, throw Martel into Parker and drag Maverick into the corner to tag himself in. He’d run through Ever-Rise with big move after big move, The Divide, a Samoan Slam, Senton and the Vader Bomb… if Maverick didn’t tag himself in and ruin it.
Parker would almost get a rollup, but Dain hit a front dropkick to break it up. Maverick would be used as a human weapon, and be powerbombed into Parker, this getting the pin. As far as tag team finishers go, this was unique. Maverick would dance after the match, and be dropped with a right hand, before dragging him to the back.
NXT’s Newest Odd Couple Tag Team
Odd couple tag teams are nothing new for NXT, with the latest being Pete Dunne & Matt Riddle. However, this Team Hell-No esque teamup is a first for NXT, and it’s been working so far. They’re two great wrestlers, and the comedic chemistry is clear. Come the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, these two might be the favorite to win it all. With how sparse the division has been, their addition is coming at the perfect time.
