MELBOURNE, Australia — NXT’s debut in Melbourne kicked off with tag team action, as former two-time NXT Tag Team Champions The Revival squared off with the blue chip duo of Riddick Moss & Tino Sabbatelli.
The rookie tandem looked to overpower Scott Dawson & Dash Wilder, but the former champions used their wiles to take advantage of their inexperienced opponents and gain control. While Moss & Sabbatelli were eventually able to muscle The Revival around the squared circle, Dash & Dawson’s experience (and a few underhanded tactics) made the difference. The self-proclaimed “top guys” put Moss down with the Shatter Machine to get the three-count and leave Melbourne victorious.
