NXT Tag Team Championship Match
(C) The Author’s of Pain Vs. SAnitY
AOP come out with new militant entrance gear. The two teams brawl to start things off. AOP clear the ring, then the two teams brawl outside as Eric Young pulls out a table while the bell has not officially run. They finally get in and the bell finally sounds. AOP works over Wolfe early.
Wolfe looks for the tag but Eric Young jumps onto the apron. Young instructs Dain to step down and then tags in and is officially a part of the match as Killain Dain never officially tagged in. The two teams brawl in the crowd, then back in, AOP with a double-team on Young for the first nearfall of the match. AOP now working over Young. Young avoids an avalanche in the corner and tags in Wolfe.

Killain Dain then charges in and crossbodies both Akam and Cross through the table outside! Back in, SAnitY hits the Back Suplex/Top Rope Neckbreaker combo to win the titles!
