The tag team classic picked up some heat to end NXT this week and the match was excellent. Do you expect anything different with these four men? They gave us exciting action in the CWC and now are called upon to fill a longer main event than we have seen in NXT over the past few weeks. I really liked tonight’s show because it focused on wrestling and focused on the continued build of a few tag teams. Hideo Itami’s injury hurt his stock, but helps TJP even more as being on RAW and now in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. He could use all the exposure he can get right now.
