Hand them over. Titles can mean a lot in wrestling as they can showcase any wrestler that a promotion chooses. Occasionally you will see someone who has not been a champion in a good while picking up some more gold, which has been the case for a certain NXT star. Now we are seeing that dry spell come to an end, as some titles changed hands in this week’s main event.
IN CASE YOU MISSED IT: Not Done? Steve Austin Talks Possible Return To The Ring
This week’s NXT saw a title change as Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker, collectively known as the Wolf Dogs, defeated the D’Angelo Family to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions. The title win is the first NXT Tag Team Title for both Corbin and Breakker, with the former winning his first title in six years. The title shot came as a result of Corbin and Breakker winning the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
That’s a big deal. Check out the new champs in action:
Opinion: I’m a bit surprised by the title change as Breakker has been teased to come up to the main roster, with both Monday Night Raw and SmackDown attempting to sign him. Breakker may very well be on his way up to the main roster full time in the near future, but for now he has another accolade on his resume. Corbin needed to win something as well, so maybe we are on the way to seeing his career renaissance.
What do you think of the title change? How long will the new reign last? Let us know in the comments below.
