The Forgotten Sons try to defend America against Zack Gibson & James Drake. Catch WWE action on WWE Network, FOX, USA Network, Sony India and more.

The Grizzled Young Veterans aren't endearing themselves to anyone since arriving in NXT, but that hasn't mattered much in the ring.

Zack Gibson & James Drake prevailed again Wednesday, this time knocking off The Forgotten Sons. 

After spending several weeks disparaging the black-and-gold brand's tag team division and Americans in general — especially the NXT faithful at Full Sail — The Grizzled Young Veterans escalated their war of words on the United States before competing against The Forgotten Sons, who were ready to defend the stars and stripes. 

But Gibson & Drake continued their winning ways despite a furious late rally from Wesley Blake & Steve Cutler, dropping Blake with the Ticket to Mayhem.
