Having run through all of the teams in WWE, New Day needed new challengers to the Tag Team Championships they’ve held since SummerSlam. So it’s only fitting that the final two teams in an eight-team tournament to crown new #1 contenders are recent NXT call-ups.

Enzo Amore & Colin Cassady are probably better suited to continue their feud with the Dudley Boyz, while the Vaudevillains are rumored to already be on the outs with WWE brass because their NXT gimmick doesn’t seem to resonate with them. (Shocker.) Still, these are two pairs who have competed as units for some time and have some good chemistry, not just with their partners, but against each other. That should make for a good little match here.

But who should emerge as New Day’s next opponent? Could the Dudleys cost Enzo & Cass a shot at the titles? Or will the Vaudevillains be silenced and sent back in line?
