Not only does Adam Cole will be in the North American Championship Ladder Match, but now, with former <strong>ROH<\/strong> World Champion Kyle O\u2019Reilly, he has the duty to keep the NXT Tag titles in the unit. The Undisputed ERA has run circles in NXT since winning the titles from <strong>Sanity<\/strong> and the <strong>War Games<\/strong> at last November\u2019s Takeover. They beat one of their opponents \u2013 Authors of Pain \u2013 in NXT Takeover Philadelphia and look to keep being the establishment in NXT.<\/p>\n<p>Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne as a tag team has work wonders. Al though both are singles specialist, their good in-sync ring work has elevated them to the finals of the third edition of the Dusty Classic. Roderick and Dunne haven\u2019t been winning as singles lately. Dunne, al thought the UK Champion, barely defends the title in WWE \u2013 he has more titles matches in the UK indie scene \u2013 and Roderick lost in the semi-finals to Cedric Alexander of the WWE Cruiserweight title tournament for <strong>WrestleMania<\/strong>. It seems that this pairing has helped them gain lost traction in <strong>WWE<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Authors of Pain are on their way up and this Takeover could be their last. The last Takeover showed that their run as NTX\u2019s top tag team was over and that it was a matter of time before they got call-up. AOP had a dominant run in the Dusty Classic and event their lost to Fish &amp; O\u2019Reilly wasn\u2019t clean.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prediction<\/strong>: I must go with the Undisputed ERA, it seems that the only reason to have Roderick and Dunne in this match is to have AOP exit NXT without a loss or a pin. WWE NXT has built the Undisputed ERA as this well oil machine that can back up their talking inside the square circle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Undisputed ERA vs. Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne vs. Authors of Pain The NXT Tag Team championship and the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic are being contended this Saturday in NXT Takeover: New Orleans.
