Losers: Aleister Black and Ricochet
Well, that didn't take long. Aleister Black and Ricochet are already on the way to becoming normal faces in the crowd.
Sure, the Revival only beat them by disqualification last night, but that's entirely the problem. Why have a rematch from last week to begin with? Why not let Black and Ricochet have singles matches? Why devalue the champions to such an extent that they need to be disqualified?
It's the laziest of all lazy 50/50 booking.
Each week has been worse than the week before for the latest NXT callups, and while it's worth repeating that Black and Ricochet are teaming in this year's Dusty Tag Team Classic at Full Sail, they shouldn't be a tag team for too long, especially in Raw's awful division.
Booking like this risks the danger of fans writing the two NXT standouts off in short order. For Black in particular, whose aura needs protecting, it would be a terrible outcome.
