NXT Tag Team champions The Creed Brothers, NXT UK Tag Team champions Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen, Pretty Deadly and Gallus battled for the right to leave the Capitol Wrestling Center as undisputed tag team champions of the brand in a Fatal 4-Way Elimination Match.

With Briggs and Jensen and Gallus eliminated, the battle for tag team supremacy in NXT came down to Julius and Brutus Creed battling Elton Prince and Kit Wilson. Julius dominated the action, showcasing his athletic prowess and ragdolling Pretty Deadly around the squared circle.

A shocking betrayal by Diamond Mine partner Damon Kemp, though, spelled the demise of the Creeds' reign as champions. After Kemp flattened Julius, Prince scored the pinfall victory and solidified he and Wilson's place at the top of the tag team mountain.

This was a wild, chaotic match that had some great stuff from the Creed Brothers and the typical strong work from the underrated new champions. Some of the booking, such as eliminating Briggs and Jensen first and then booking a pull-apart brawl between them and Gallus to take the referee out and set up the finish, were definitely puzzling, though.

That can be said about much of the booking leading to this particular match and involving the stars at play. The match was good, and had great energy, but some of the strategic moves took attention away from the in-ring action.

Then, the Kemp turn made up for it.

With Roderick Strong laid out and bloodied in the parking lot earlier in the day, it is likely to be revealed Kemp was responsible for that, setting him up for a big singles push and in line for a feud with his former Diamond Mine partners. There are worse positions to be in for a young competitor.
