Even an intriguing mixed couples tag throwdown may struggle to mask the feeling of being robbed of some precious weeks of the Hall of Famer's remaining in-ring career, but Vinnie Mac clearly doesn't care in the slightest.

NXT then signed off their WarGames build with two admittedly stellar Advantage Ladder matches, with Bron Breakker's flipping off of a superkick-spurting Johnny Wrestling just the latest in a string of star-making moments for the Big Bad Booty Nephew. Who will walk out of Sunday night victorious? And will WWE be able to reach the end of 2021 without losing two more black and gold OG's? All will be revealed before December reaches its conclusion.
