After Royal Albert Hall and NXT television, you had to wonder what Mustache Mountain and Undisputed Era had left for us at TakeOver: Brooklyn.

The answer: a lot.

The four men engaged in an NXT Tag Team Championship battle that had fans (and this writer) hopping up and down in their seats. Tyler Bate showed off his strength, speed and precision at several points, while Kyle O’Reilly used his MMA skills to keep the Brits on the defensive. It was a fast-paced, all action match that had the fans chanting, “Fight forever!” and deservedly so.

Undisputed Era retaining the tag titles is probably the right move here, but damn, it could have gone either way watching that match. One thing is for sure: When in doubt for a good match on the card, just book these two tag teams against each other.
