26 WTF Moments From NXT TakeOver: Respect

18. The Dusty Classic Final Has No Proper Tag Teams

Highly entertaining though the two Dusty Rhodes Classic semi-final matches were, one of the few missteps NXT Respect made was in having the final be contested between two cobbled-together teams rather than giving an actual tag team a chance to win it. Wouldn't it have made more sense to see Gable and Jordan facing Balor and Joe in the final? Though the two matches unquestionably gave The Mechanics and Gable and Jordan a solid rub, it's a shame they both had to job to teams made specifically for the tournament.
