Poor Breezango. Tyler Breeze and Fandango have spent a combined twenty four years in WWE (14 for Fandango, 10 for Breeze), and this August they finally won their first title. To clarify, that doesn't mean their first title as a tag team - we mean it's the first time either of the pair have held gold in their entire WWE careers.

There was so much history to be discussed here - video packages detailing the trials and tribulations each has faced in their WWE tenure. How Fandango went from being an overnight sensation to an afterthought in the first half of 2013, how Tyler Breeze was left for dead in 2016 for the apparently unpardonable sin of leaving a SmackDown taping early, and how the pair have struggled and clawed their way back to relevance in the years since.

But that wasn't to be. Instead, less than two months into their reign Breezango dropped the belts in an attempt to put heat on Pat McAfee's newly formed stable. Not only was this disappointing, it was entirely unnecessary - McAfee is such an excellent heel his stable does not need the belts to get heat, at least at this stage in its lifespan. It would have meant so much more if NXT had taken the time to build Breezango up as great champions before switching the belts to McAfee and friends, but WWE hot-shotted the titles on a regular episode of NXT.

(As an aside, remember when the NXT Tag Titles were the talk of the industry and had enough clout to main event a PPV? How the mighty have fallen...)
