#2 Ever Rise, and Imperium impress on NXT
Over the past few months, NXT did with Ever Rise what the main roster has done with several top tag teams. They turned Chase Parker and Matt Martel into a comical team that slowly turned into enhancement talents.
Ever Rise was scheduled to compete against The Grizzled Young Veterans on this week’s NXT. However, before the match, Imperium returned and attacked Parker and Martel to take them out of the picture.
This allowed Imperium to take their spot in the match and give fans a battle between the two NXT UK tag team giants. Both teams showed their strengths during the match, and Fabian Aichner was once again extremely impressive during the contest.
After the match reached its boiling point, Ever Rise returned to attack both the teams and cause a disqualification in the process. Ever Rise got the last laugh as they were the last team standing at the end of the segment.
This single segment helped strengthen the entire NXT tag team division in no time. Pat McAfee had called out The Undisputed ERA just before the match, and now Danny Burch and Oney Lorcan will need to watch their backs as new challengers for their title could emerge in the coming weeks.
