NXT TakeOver In Your House 2021: 10 Things That Must Happen
8. The Babyfaces Retain All Their Gold
Right, onto the matches.
That six-man "Winners Take All" tag would be a fine way to kick off In Your House this year. Last year's show started with a six-woman tag, and that went down a storm, so why not? Plus, unlike that 2020 match, there's something at stake here - namely, bloody everything.
Bronson Reed's North American Title and MSK's Tag Titles are on the line against Legado Del Fantasma. Traditionalists will recall (although maybe not fondly) the bait-and-switch tactics WWE used for IYH 3; Shawn Michaels and Diesel won the tag belts from Yokozuna, Owen Hart and British Bulldog, but that was reversed the next night.
WWE shouldn't go there again. Instead, they should book a straight-up babyface win that jumpstarts TakeOver nicely. Both Reed and MSK are too fresh as champs to drop their straps this soon. Besides, Santos Escobar and crew will have their time again later in the year.
