WWE NXT's 31 Wrestlers - Ranked From Worst To Best

18. Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy

Charlotte Kevin Owens Hideo Itami Sasha Banks NXT
WWE.com

Pros:

1. Outstanding tag team chemistry

2. Blake has a breathtaking frog splash

3. No longer referred to as "Team Thick"

Cons:

1. Painfully generic

2.  Very shaky promo work

3. What is the deal with the dubstep and the leapfogging and the pigtails?

Just like the Mechanics, these two are listed as a unit, for most of the same reasons. They have the same look, the same moveset, and no discernible personality differences. They're basically the Major Brothers, except one of them is Australian and they kind of always look like they're about to make out.

They're tag team specialists in the truest sense, and they have the potential to be a great long-term utility tag team. However, it was apparently decided that they needed to be more colorful characters, so they got a loud dubstep theme, pigtails, and they began courting Carmella. 

It wasn't clear if they wanted to have sex with her or they were looking for a manager, but very little is clear about their gimmick work. They are technically sound, though, and if they can iron out the kinks and decide what exactly their characters are supposed to BE then they could wind up being a fantastic tag team.

Final rating: ***
