Predicting The Next Holder Of Every Active WWE Championship
11. NXT Tag Team Championships
Currently held by: The New Day’s Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods.
When the New Day shockingly ventured down to NXT ahead of the DEADL1NE special, no one could have forecast the acclaimed duo lifting the doubles championships from Pretty Deadly. Their victory at said show instantaneously added significant prestige to the once-top-tier titles, a level that hadn’t been seen since the 2017/18/19 days of the Undisputed ERA.
Predicted next champions: Gallus’ Mark Coffey and Wolfgang.
WWE clearly views the Gallus trio of Wolfgang, Mark Coffey, and Joe Coffey in a high regard. That they were one of the few NXT UK acts kept around in full-fat NXT when its United Kingdom expansion was closed down confirms as such.
The former NXT UK Tag Team Champions were last seen in September, suspended in-storyline for their callous behaviour against NXT officials. It’s coming on four months since they were last spotted in the Performance Center; either this was the Scottish trio’s official send-off from WWE or their return is going to be a huge deal.
Besting the New Day, the greatest tag team of WWE’s modern era, is exactly how you boost Gallus’ reputation in this post-NXT UK landscape where they roamed as luminaries of a bygone brand.
