History Has Been Made! Title Change Takes Place Thursday Afternoon

History has been made! Titles are the main storytelling device in all of wrestling because they are a simple concept. Give someone a shiny championship belt and have other wrestlers try to take it. That is one of those ideas that any fan can understand in a hurry and it makes title changes mean that much more. That was on display this week as some titles changed hands.

This week on NXT UK, Moustache Mountain defeated Pretty Deadly to become the new NXT UK Tag Team Champions. The win marks the first title reign for Moustache Mountain and makes them the only team to win both the NXT Tag Team Titles and NXT UK Tag Team Titles. Pretty Deadly had held the titles for 288 days, winning them on the February 25 edition of NXT UK.

This is a big deal. Check out the title match, the post win comments and some of the champs’ time stateside:

Opinion: This is a title change that is somehow long overdue but at the same time something that I didn’t expect to see happen. Pretty Deadly was a rather good team and the kind of champions that could be taken down by any team who got things right. That was the case here and now the most successful team in NXT UK history has accomplished the ultimate goal.

What do you think of the title change? How will the new reign go? Let us know in the comments below.
