If you can find a fault with the NXT Tag Team Championship 2-out-of-3 falls match, then you’re squinting way too hard.

The Revival and DIY engaged in a barn-burner of a tag title match, sending fans into a frenzy with near-falls that were completely believable and action that was nonstop. When Scott Dawson and Dash Wilder went for their own version of DIY’s finisher – only to end up taking a Shatter Machine from Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa – the entire arena bought that as the end.

But it wasn’t just the fast-paced action and near-falls that were a hit. It was a really, really superb match, with a great flow that told a great story, right down to the conclusion. It’s not even worth trying to describe the match in great detail, just go watch it yourself if you haven’t already.
