Kalisto and Sin Cara were in possession of the straps but were mere weeks away from dropping them to Blake and Murphy. As we end the year things have changed immensely with the entire roster. Many have gone up to the main roster, some have left the company completely and a number of new names made their debut on the NXT stage, and our route to this point has been a delight to say the least.
