After proclaiming that all other teams in NXT (including War Raiders) would fall to them, The Mighty were anything but timid heading into action against the undefeated Rowe & Hanson. Shane Thorne & Nick Miller even dared to sucker-punch them before the match, which only infuriated the bearded brawlers.
Once the bell rang, War Raiders made The Mighty pay for their insolence, firing off a series of big hits. Thanks to a few clever, if underhanded, tricks, Thorne & Miller turned the tide, and for the first time since arriving to NXT, War Raiders found themselves on defense. The Mighty scored with finely-tuned tandem offense, and Thorne lit up Rowe with a textbook dropkick.
Hanson took over upon tagging back in, sending Thorne into the rafters with a huge back drop. He and Rowe then brought Thorne crashing to the mat with a pop-up powerslam, but Miller broke up the near-fall. After Hanson took out Miller with a gigantic suicide dive, he and Rowe regrouped to take down Thorne with the Fallout, dealing The Mighty a painful defeat.
The Mighty’s nasty tactics gave War Raiders a run for their money, but there appears to be no end in sight for Hanson & Rowe’s war path.
