The New Brainbusters combo of Scott Dawson and Dash
Wilder made it clear they want another match for the NXT tag straps because
they hold a non-title win over The Vaudevillains. It wasn't made clear that
they'd get the match they're after but chances are they will. As heels they
strike me as a good pair to take the belts from Gotch and English before
dropping them to Gable and Jordan.
Finally Apollo Crews won a battle royal to earn a future
match with Finn Bálor. The match was booked well, with Joe and Coribn both
looking strong and lasting until the end. Interestingly Joe got some boos.
That, coupled with his heelish outburst with Regal earlier in the show, could
lead to him becoming a lead bad guy for the brand should Apollo win defeat Bálor.
Or if Bálor retains for that matter.

contract to this.

Tweet 38: Heat on Terry Creed for eliminating Johnny Gargano there. This crowd is weird.
