Omackeral

American Alpha

Chad Gable and Jason Jordan

VS

Blake and Murphy Factor

Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy w/Alexa Bliss




VS

The Wyatt Family

Luke Harper and Erick Rowan

Necro

Well I'll kick things off with a vote for AA. Things may not have worked out for them on the main stage as we'd hoped but out of these three by far the best. IMO of course :P

WinnyThePoo

Huge mark for Luke harper. Never really liked Murphy and Co. American alphas on screen storyline in nxt and matches where awesome.

So my vote go's with AA

LeeJM

Im gonna vote for Blake & Murphy because I felt they still had a tonne they could have done as a team. AA had great matches and Gable was great when trying to get JJ to team with him. Harper Rowan are a good team but way too many break ups since their NXT run.

gerrybbadd

I'm choosing Blake and Murphy.

I thought they worked very well as a tag team, and the addition of Alexa to the fold was a genius stroke.

AA are a close second, but I feel they didn't hold the titles long enough to be considered for contention

sky88

Tough one as i think blake and murphy had the better reign but i think the match quality alpha had better matches.

I think for the matches ill go with aa just

Bounty Hunter

Cheers for the pm Omack


I really like Harper and Rowen (more so Harper) but maybe it's just cos the Wyatts NXT run was one I heard about more so than experienced myself that I find it hard to choose them.

Blake and Murphy seemed like they were going to be great and I liked Alexa being paired with them but once teams lik American Alpha came along I kinda forgot about them as it seemed like the NXT tag division got an upgrade.

American Alpha for me. They are in the top tier of teams I think of when I think of NXT tag teams even if their run might not have actually been as long as I remember. They should be up there with the likes of DIY, The Revival and co in this tornie for me

Pentecost

Yes got to go with AA too. When they clicked they put on some brilliant matches. I love Alexa but AA didn’t need an Alexa so they get the nod for me.

CastorTroy

AA were great in the ring and will always remember Jordan's reaction to winning the title. Plus Gable winning him over throughout the many months

Omackeral

American Alpha are the first to book their place in the next round. We've a great mesh of styles in our next three-way tussle.

The Revival

Dash Wilder and Scott Dawson





VS



#DIY

Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano








VS


The Lucha Dragons

Sin Cara and Kalisto

Necro

Ah f*ck. DIY. Have to go DIY

sky88

Ahh thats a horrible chioce but diy for me

Pentecost

Ah GTF Omack (in the nicest possible way!). I had two of these as minimum semi finalists

Revival v DIY feud was one of my favourite NXT programmes, I actually literally applauded my laptop for one Takeover match sad as that sounds. I'm going to have to very narrowly pick DIY because their selling, especially Johnny's, was so fecking good you were with them every step of the way. And then Tomasso's turn, god it was perfectly done.

Omackeral

I loved DIY but I think Revival are the best ever in NXT. They used heel tactics so well and made me hate them in a proper old school heel way. I'm shocked they haven't gotten a vote yet.

Revival for me.

gerrybbadd

Revival for me too. I loved DIY but the Revival were just so believable. A real throwback with some modern aspects to their game. That Shatter Machine finisher is epic also.

Bounty Hunter

Nobody is voting for the Lucha Dragons here.

It is very possible that if today was the day that the Revival was brought up to the main roster I would vote for them as the shine has somewhat come off them (through no fault of their own) for me since. In NXT they were awesome and 100% made me think or Arn and Tully but whatever it was about them I was always drawn to DIY more. Being totally honest it could just have been that they were faces that made me associate with them more but I can't remember watching a match of theirs that I didn't really love and thats why DIY are getting my vote here. even the end of their tag team was amazing.

If I got to pick who deserves to get to what rd in this tournament I think I would have both in my triple threat final at which point who knows it'd be a different day and on a different day I could have easily voted for The Revival

Omackeral

I'm shocked that the Revival have been eliminated. I honestly thought they would walk the whole thing being two time champions! #DIY move into the semi finals. Who will join them there?

SAnitY


Eric Young and Alexander Wolfe w/Killian Dain and Nikki Cross








VS








The Vaudevillains

Aiden English and Simon Gotch

VS







Adrian Neville and Corey Graves

ShagNastii

Love Sanity, especially the dynamic that Cross adds to their stable and matches. I really can't overlook The Vaudevillains. Their run completely sucked when they called up but their work in NXT was brilliant.

Fairly 50/50 but I'll give it to Sanity due to the fact they've developed on and on with the additions of Damo and Young.

Sanity.

gerrybbadd

Sanity for me. I hated Gotcha and English. And Graves / Neville always seemed like a filler tag team to me.

Necro

Have a soft spot for Graves and Neville to be honest. But it would be INSANITY (heh) not to give the vote to Sanity here.

Never liked the Vaudevillians either.

Pentecost

Sanity. I wasn’t paying much attention to NXT when Graves and Neville were tagging and I never liked the Vaudevillains.

Omackeral

The final has four has gotten a little unhinged with the addition of SAnitY. We have our last triple threat now as we look to add the last time to the line up.

The Ascension

Viktor and Konnor

VS



British Ambition

Adrian Neville and Oliver Grey





VS



The Authors of Pain

Akam and Rezar w/Paul Ellering

sky88

Sanity didnt see neville and graves and never liked the villians

Sanity already through sky! New match is up.

Bounty Hunter

Ascension were soo much better in NXT than on the main roster but this one for me is clear and it's AOP with Ellering. Not sure if I'd have even remembered Grey if he wasn't pictured.

Necro

Hmmm.. this is a toughie. Ascension were great in NXT. AOP are great full stop. Will definitely transfer to main roster better... probably.
Tournament is about best NXT Tag Champs though, and for that reason....

Gotta go Ascension to be honest. Weren't they champs for over a year?

ShagNastii

Yeah I'll echo the praise for The Ascension. I loved their whole run in from their time with Bram to their call up.

I was totally cynical to AOP when they arrived but they have certainly won me over.

The Ascension, just.

Pentecost

AOP for me I think they’ve been brilliant for two young and inexperienced guys.

WinnyThePoo

I didn't see much of the ascension to be honest. So I'll go for aop.

gerrybbadd

AOP for me. The Ascension were great in NXT but AOP are on another level
