New Champions Crowned At TakeOver: Phoenix

The War Raiders are the new NXT Tag Team Champions after defeating Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly of the Undisputed Era at NXT TakeOver: Phoenix.

Hanson and Rowe were given one of the coolest entrances in a long time, being flanked by vikings on their way to the ring. Chances are a few of those vikings will headline a TakeOver in the future.

Both teams showed why they are regarded as two of the greatest on the planet, with tandem offence to die for, but it was the War Raiders who would prevail.

Hitting a powerbomb slam on both O’Reilly and Strong, Rowe then picked up O’Reilly to hit the Fallout, giving them the pinfall victory and the titles.

Does this mean that the Undisputed Era are set to be called up to the main roster? Or will they now be the ones chasing the tag titles from the new champions?
