It's tag season in NXT and, like Team-Building Day at the office, everyone's splitting into pairs and making new friends. Last night saw a raft of new faces, new pairings and exciting match-ups. After a huge exodus out of NXT by top-tier talent like Kevin Owens and three-quarters of the Four Horsewomen, the development brand is shaking things up in a big way. Apollo Crews is forming his nation, the new Women's Division is starting to take shape with the 'official' debuts of Peyton Royce (formerly KC Cassidy) and Billie Kay (nee Jessie McKay), and the Dusty Rhodes classic is pushing new teams like Gable & Jordan and Ciampa & Gargano, all while creating new dynamics like Rhyno & Corbin, and the indy supergroup of Finn Balor & Samoa Joe. Combine all of that with an experimentation in cross-venue broadcasting (tonight's main event airing from a Main Event taping in Rhode Island) and it's an interesting time to be an NXT fan. Last night's card (w/ finishes): Carmella v Peyton Royce Carmella picks up the submission win with her figure-four head-scissors. Tyler Breeze & Bull Dempsey v Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano Ciampa and Gargano hit a double team pinning combination for the win. Billie Kay v Dana Brooke Brooke hits the Samoan Driver for the pinfall. Finn Balor & Samoa Joe v The Lucha Dragons Joe hits a Muscle Buster to Kalisto and Balor follows up with a Coup de Grace for the win.
