As the ill-fated Invasion showed fans, when companies collide all previous hatred is put aside. The gaping plot holes left in character feuds is stuffed and patched with loyalty to a trademark (and probably the pay-check). Gargano and Ciampa made a world-class team as #DIY. The two men are both one of NXT’s greatest teams and livewire, bitter enemies.

It is easy to argue that Ortiz and Santana in AEW are yet to reach the height of their LAX incarnation in Impact Wrestling. Their Impact feud with The Lucha Brothers is a high point in North American tag team wrestling.

#DIY and P&P are reasonably matched teams who combine stiff strikes, gruelling submissions, and high-risk cruiserweight defence. They are natural challengers for each other. The addition of a ladder stipulation, with tag title shots on the line, would encourage innovation in both teams.

Prediction/Spoiler: #DIY and P&P are equally matched but innovative and unpredictable in the ring. However, with each teams back-catalogue of barn burners, this match has potential to break the rating system. As Ciampa and Gargano are both proven quantities as solo stars and as a team, they would be the favourite to take the win.
