Newly minted team Dunne and Strong have looked great, but can they win the gold?
Newly minted team Dunne and Strong have looked great, but can they win the gold?

With the finals of the Dusty tag team classic tournament being disrupted by the Undisputed Era, this match has changed into a triple threat affair.

Prediction: The Undisputed Era are the new NXT 'bad guy gang' and are likely to retain their titles, even with Bobby Fish out of action and Cole replacing him. The WWE seems unsure of what to do with Dunne and Strong, moving them between 205 live and NXT, so they are unlikely to win the titles. And finally, the Authors of Pain have been rumoured for months to show up on the main roster, so giving them the titles makes little sense.

Analysis: Despite the talent involved in this match, it feels like it was thrown together at the last moment. While the AOP and the UE have had their clashes in the past, two heel teams don't make much drama. Then you factor in heel Dunne and face Strong, and you have a kind of tangled booking that confuses fans. Most likely, this will be the least impressive match of the night.
