#2 Challenge for the WWE NXT Tag Team Championships against MSK

MSK captured the WWE NXT Tag Team Championships for the first time in their careers at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver Night One

WWE NXT Takeover: Stand and Deliver Night One saw MSK capture the vacant NXT Tag Team Championships for the first time in their WWE careers. They defeated the Grizzled Young Veterans and Legado Del Fantansma in a triple threat tag team match.

A top AEW star just called one of his colleagues 'spoiled' and 'narcissistic' HERE.

Now that Nash Carter and Wes Lee hold the NXT Tag Team Championships, the next challenge is if the upstart tag team can hold onto the prestigious tag team gold.

Now that Santos Escobar has lost the NXT Cruiseweight Championship, perhaps the Mexican WWE Superstar could turn his attention to tag team gold. Legado Del Fantasma came very close to winning the NXT Tag Team Championships on several occasions at NXT Takeover: Stand & Deliver Night One, but ultimately came up short.

But, as the saying goes, if you want something done right, do it yourself. Santos Escobar could decide to replace either Joaquin Wilde or Raul Mendoza while representing Legado Del Fantasma in tag team action.

This could lead to Santos Escobar teaming with Wilde or Mendoza to take on MSK for the Tag Team Championships.
