7 Early Match Predictions For NXT TakeOver: Houston

3. NXT Tag Team Championship: Kyle O'Reilly & Bobby Fish Vs. TM-61

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish will dethrone SAnitY as tag champions before NXT gets to Houston. Championships rarely change hands on NXT TV these days, with the last tag title change of this manner being when The Revival dethroned The Vaudevillains way back in November 2015.

Whether or not they will be billed as reDRagon remains to be seen (I would doubt it), but Fish and O’Reilly will capture gold sooner rather than later. The Authors of Pain could be an interesting challenge for the duo, but one feels that Akam and Rezar are about to be rushed up to the main roster.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about TM-61 through all of this. Shane Thorne is due to return from injury sooner rather than later, and the Antipodean pair will make a perfect fit as babyface championship chasers.

The match would more than likely be an instant classic too.
