Tensions are rising high in WWE NXT in the absence of Pat McAfee. While the leader of The Kings of NXT has been away for some time now, Pete Dunne, Danny Burch, and Oney Lorcan have been creating chaos on the Black & Gold brand.

Dunne has been eyeing Finn Balor and his WWE NXT Championship since his return, while Burch and Lorcan have targeted the Undisputed ERA time and time again. This week, Dunne once again stated that he was coming for Balor’s title sooner than later.

However, The Prince was focused on taking down Burch and Lorcan instead, and barged into William Regal’s office to get a match against the WWE NXT Tag Team Champions. Regal agreed to accept Balor’s request, only if he could find himself a partner.

The Prince later approached his arch-rival Kyle O’Reilly and asked him to join forces to take down the heels. KOR accepted the invitation as Adam Cole and Roderick Strong watched on.

This was a phenomenal segment that will allow two of WWE NXT’s best Superstars to tag together and give fans a dream team. On the other hand, this could also lead to The Undisputed ERA imploding in the coming months.
