Along with The Shield and their multiple six-man tag classics, NXT is equally responsible for starting this resurgence with their spotlighting of tag team wrestling at Full Sail University.

While the likes of The Ascension, The Lucha Dragons and The Vaudevillains played their part, it was American Alpha and The Revival that took the division to new heights as they did battle for the NXT Tag Team Championships throughout the spring of 2016.

The contrasting styles of the two teams - the instinctive athleticism of Jason Jordan and Chad Gable, and the methodical viciousness of Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder - meshed beautifully as the two teams put on a series of superb matches at major Takeover shows.

This rivalry really put both teams on the map and and got people talking about tag wrestling again. NXT has continued to generate exciting partnerships, but transitioning them into successful main roster tag teams is something that WWE still needs to work on.
