Check out this week’s NXT Power Rankings to see who left the WWE UK Championship and just how hot the competition in the NXT and Women’s Tag Team Divisions are getting.
Honorable Mention: Kassius Ohno: His return continues to make NXT a wonderful promotion to watch.
5: The Authors of Pain: Akom and Rezar are on a mission to destroy every tag team in NXT. But they have to start facing more than jobbers. It didn’t work with The Ascension and it won’t work with them either.
4: Billie Kay and Peyton Royce: If there was an NXT Women’s Tag Team title, they’d own those straps. They are the best female duo in the WWE right now.
3: DIY: Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa want another shot at the NXT Tag Team titles and will do anything to get them. But they’ll have to get through The Revival before they can take on The Authors of Pain.
2: Trent Seven: The King of Mustache Mountain proved he belongs in his NXT debut, even in a losing effort to WWE United Kingdom Champion Tyler Bate.
1: Tyler Bate: The WWE United Kingdom Champion is just 19 years old, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t a star. Defending his title in the states has done wonders for the U.K. Wrestling scene.
