All WWE NXT Tag Team Champions Ranked - From Worst To Best

9. Blake And Murphy

Poor old Blake and Murphy. They didn't really have a chance, coming off as the most generic of transitional champions when they defeated The Lucha Dragons for the NXT Tag Team Championships in January 2015. Their victory was a total surprise, as their very first televised win had come just a week earlier.

They weren't heels or faces when they won the belts, but quickly got established as heels by seemingly stalking Carmella, which started a feud with Enzo & Big Cass. They were joined by Alexa Bliss during their title reign, which succeeded in giving them something approaching a hook, but it was clear that Bliss was the main event of the trio, the Trish Stratus to their Test and Albert.

Blake and Murphy would eventually drop the titles to The Vaudevillains at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn, and their reign was consigned to the bin of history. Whilst Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy are more than cromulent in the ring, the audience was never given a reason to truly care about them.
