NXT Tag Team Champions DIY vs. The Authors of Pain
NXT Tag Team Champions #DIY face their toughest challenge to date at
TakeOver: San Antonio, when they defend their titles against the
devastating Authors of Pain.
Capturing the hearts of the NXT Universe since their arrival in 2015,
#DIY’s never-say-die attitude makes them nearly impossible to root
against. They seemingly had the world in their corner at TakeOver:
Toronto, when they defeated The Revival in an epic 2-out-of-3 Falls
Match to win the NXT Tag Team Titles. Johnny Gargano & Tommaso Ciampa
followed up on their Match of the Year victory with thrilling defenses
against Akira Tozawa & Tajiri in Japan, and TM61 in Australia.
Meanwhile, after Akam & Rezar won the 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Paul Ellering
made it clear that his monsters’ next chapter was already outlined. The
Authors of Pain were coming after the titles in San Antonio, no matter
who held them. Until then, the towering titans continued to carve a path
of destruction, annihilating anyone who stepped in their path.
The champions’ and challengers’ paths converged on Jan.
11. After #DIY successfully retained their titles in a grueling rematch
against The Revival, Ellering emerged to distract #DIY while Akam &
Rezar blindsided the champions, laying them out in the middle of the
ring with the Super Collider. The Authors of Pain grabbed the titles and
held them up, giving the NXT Universe a preview of what may lie ahead
for the champions in Texas.
Are Gargano & Ciampa able to slay Ellering’s beasts, or have The
Authors of Pain written the final chapter of #DIY’s reign as NXT Tag
Team Champions? Find out at NXT TakeOver: San Antonio, live Saturday,
Jan. 28 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, exclusively on WWE Network!
