6. Pillaging The Tag Champs

No sooner had Undisputed Era survived their battle with Mustache Mountain, they learned that they were suddenly at war.

The War Raiders broke up the tag champs’ celebration and decimated Kyle O’Reilly and Roderick Strong, leaving them lying and laying down the marker that they will be UE’s next challengers for the NXT Tag Team Championships.

It’s a perfectly natural progression, as the Raiders had given fair warning that they would be coming for whomever emerged from TakeOver with the titles. They just didn’t wait until TakeOver was done.

It’ll be interesting to see if War Raiders can topple Undisputed Era, as they’ve plowed through everyone else in short order, and they’ve blasted their way to the top of the division in record time. It’s not like they can just ratchet down the division if they fall short.
