Briggs & Jensen speak on winning the NXT UK titles

This week's show was the debut of Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen on the brand and also marks the first title for the team on either brand.

In a backstage interview after becoming champions, Briggs & Jensen noted that they have big shoes to fill and referenced former tag champions Grizzled Young Veterans, Smith & Carter, and Mustache Mountain.

Brooks Jensen dedicated the victory to his father, former WWE star Bull Buchanan, for always training and supporting him. He thanked his mother for supporting his career, and wished her well in her upcoming knee surgery.

"That's a hell of a lineage, man. Those shoes are big, but our feet, they are american size 17s. We're ready". - Josh Briggs 0:16 - 0:24

Briggs and Jensen are now the 7th NXT UK Tag Team Champions in the promotion's history. As of right now, it is unknown how long the NXT 2.0 stars will remain in the UK.
