MSK has been one of the top tag teams in all of WWE. The reigning NXT Tag Team Champions won the title at TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, but they haven’t defended the titles too often.

MSK had their last title match against Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher over a month ago. Since then, the brand has turned its focus more towards the return of Samoa Joe and other singles championship matches.

This week, MSK will finally compete on NXT again, this time against Imperium. Nash Carter and Wes Lee will defend their NXT Tag Team titles against Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel of Imperium.

Imperium has been doing well on NXT, but WWE must allow MSK to fight as the underdogs and go on to retain their titles. Carter and Lee have a long way to go in WWE and the company needs to keep the titles on them for some time.

MSK is one of the very few babyface tag teams on NXT, and the only team that should defeat them for the titles should be Hit Row. A victory over MSK will give Hit Row a massive push on NXT.
