Alexa Bliss may have showcased her comic-loving side at Backlash 2016, but over a year earlier, she and the tag team of Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy would dive into the world of Marvel Comics.

Capturing the NXT Tag Team Titles in early 2015, the team showed great skill and a knack for tag-team based offence, and were able to retain the gold against some formiddable teams.

During the summer, the duo would receive a boost with manager Alexa Bliss, and the group would show unity in matching attires. At one point, the team wore costumes based on Iron Man, with the red and gold aesthetic being synonymous with the Marvel character.

Later on, they'd change to a Freddy Krueger themed attire before going their separate ways the next year.
