#3 Best/Worst - MSK crowned as Tag Team Champions at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver

Finally, let's talk about the Triple Threat Tag Team Title match at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver. It was, quite predictably, a brilliant showcase for all six men. The action came thick and fast, with minimal downtime during the match.

In the end, MSK defeated Legado del Fantasma and Grizzled Young Veterans to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions. It was a feel-good moment for Nash Carter and Wes Lee, who were both overcome with emotion following their victory.

However, with that being said, NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver felt like GYV's time. The heel duo of Zack Gibson and James Drake has delivered superbly on NXT for a while, but they don't have anything truly substantial to show for it. Being two-time Dusty Cup finalists, unfortunately, doesn't count.

Grizzled Young Veterans lost to MSK at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day and did so again here. A victory would have put a lot of heat on the villainous UK duo, with Gibson possibly standing out. Liverpool's Number One is a phenomenal talent and should ideally have become an NXT Tag Team Champion by now.

Regardless, the chase for MSK is over. They are one of two new Champions on a fantastic night of wrestling. Bring on Night Two!
