#2 The Forgotten Sons

Part of this piece's purpose is to show that yes, most of the divisions in NXT are stacked. Many of the members of each division have already had shots at titles. Shirai and Yim both have and the Forgotten Sons have challenged unsuccessfully for tag team titles on more than one occasion.

The duo of Blake and Cutler is better in the ring then they get credit for, it's just that they don't connect greatly while speaking on the mic. Sure, they get booed when they attack a team like the Street Profits or other faces from behind. But similar to when Elias joined the main roster, the Sons might have better luck on either the red or blue brand.

The tag team division in NXT is in a state of flux due to the Dusty Rhodes Classic. Losing the Forgotten Sons might seem like a blow due to the shallow depth, but there are loads of people waiting in the wings to make their marks. Several names at the WWE PC are waiting for the chance including the former King Cuerno, Cal Bloom, Rik Bugez and many more.

By way of having Blake, Cutler and Jaxson Ryker join either RAW or SmackDown, it would add another believable team to either of the shows while opening up some spots in NXT. I'm a fan of The New Day and The Revival as much as the next person, but I'm tired of constantly seeing those two teams face each other and The Usos.
