Yes, TM-61. Remember them? The Antipodean duo have been out of action for most of 2017 following Shane Thorne’s knee surgery, but the former GHC Tag Team Champion returned to action in September. A lot has changed in the time Thorne and Miller have been away, but the time is right for them to get back into the NXT tag team mix.

TM-61 vs. Kyle O’Reilly and Bobby Fish should be the plan for NXT TakeOver: New Orleans. There are two clear ways to get there, and both involve SAnitY losing the tag titles between now and then. The future of Eric Young’s faction isn’t clear, but all three men could be useful on the main roster. Alexander Wolfe almost certainly needs the group more than Young and Killian Dain, but the stable does not need the tag titles.

TM-61 should defeat SAnitY for the titles at NXT TakeOver: Philadelphia, before defending them against The Undisputed ERA on WrestleMania weekend. That could well be a tag team feud for the ages, reigniting a stalling division in developmental.
