Former ROH Tag Champions reunite at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III
The Authors of Pain defended their NXT Tag Team Championships against SAnitY at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn III tonight. Eric Young replaced Killian Dain before the match started. The match went back and forth but in the end, SAnitY prevailed and became the new NXT Tag Team Champions. Their celebration was short-lived as Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly showed up and attacked them from behind. Fish and O’Reilly were known as “reDRagon” in ROH and were the ROH Tag Team Champions in that promotion. You can check out a video of the attack below.
