Result: Gable and Jordan nail the Grand Amplitude to win the titles (15:13).

Rating: The crowd were white-hot right out of the gate for Alpha, especially Gable, and had great fun tearing down The Revival, which added immeasurably to the atmosphere. Though Alpha are the A-team in NXT right now, Dash and Dawson also deserve recognition for going toe-to-toe from first minute to last.

This was a fun bout where everyone got a bunch of cool moments, even if this one was really all about Alpha and their inevitable, predictable, but satisfying victory. It was a highly entertaining, fast-paced start to the show, demonstrating tremendous chemistry between the two teams. 

And who couldn't love that Botchamania chant when Dash and Dawson screwed up a pin? Probably the best WWE tag match in ages, and a firecracker of an opening bout. 8/10
