6. Danny Burch & Oney Lorcan

They're likely behind War Raiders in the queue for an NXT Tag Team Title run, but Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan are among the most exciting tandems in wrestling today. For evidence, check TakeOver: Chicago II. Their blistering encounter with Kyle O'Reilly and Roderick Strong was worked at 100mph. Our follically-challenged duo emptied their tanks, barely taking a moment to breathe throughout 16 minutes of reckless brilliance, and lost nothing in defeat.

Such scraps epitomise what Burch and Lorcan are about. They're a shot of adrenaline; a couple of fast, furious Energizer Bunnies in wrestling form, dead set on killing it every time they step between the ropes. A recent NXT TV encounter with the unheralded Humberto Carrillo and Raul Mendoza saw them cram more into three minutes than most teams do with five times that. There isn't an ounce of flab to anything they do, and that's incredibly refreshing at a time when developmental's house style has never been so theatrical.

Their lack of flashiness and polish will hinder Burch and Lorcan on the main roster, but the workrate gods demand a big NXT push for these tag team dynamos.
