so I've heard that NXT has broken up some of their tag teams recently
any guys they can pair up that might make good teams?
Based on look from the WWE NXT site I'd say Sawyer FUlton and Travis Tyler would make a good power team.

Let's see who we've actually got in terms of NXT teams...
The Ascension (Konnor and Viktor)
Hudson River Crossing (Enzo Amore and Colin Cassady)
And... that's it. And Amore's injured, so there is literally ONE active team. The Legionnaires are done since Alexander Rusev left the team (and Scott Dawson got injured) and the status of British Ambition is up in the air with Oliver Grey still to return from injury and Adrian Neville basically being a "main eventer" now. So they could really use some new teams.

They've had a few tag team on those interviews, but right now they've brought in Hunico and Camacho to give them time.
I'm trying to think who might be a good tag team of who they got now, but I'm not seeing a good connection. Maybe have Dawson and Lefort team now that Dawson/Rusev is done when Dawson recovers.

Whatever. Just PLEASE take the titles off the Ascension and put them on Hunico and Camacho. PLEASE.

We'll probably get Mojo Rawley and Yoshi Tatsu as a "lol they're different!" tag team or something.

Aside from Bo Dallas, who doesn't really count, I haven't seen anyone who was featured on the main roster to back to developmental and win a developmental title. It doesn't seem fair to the developmental guys. |

It doesn't seem fair to the developmental guys. Well it's certainly more fair than you're suggesting, I don't think it would be a step down. If anything, putting the belts on Hunico/Camacho would be really beneficial. Camacho could use the experience and pairing that team against less experienced members of the roster would allow them to expand their skill set while a solid run with two good-great workers holding the straps would make the belts look much better. |

Look at Cesaro. He's been a heavily featured guy on NXT ever since his U.S. Title reign, and the idea that WWE may end up just sending more random guys on the main roster who Creative has nothing for to NXT to win titles doesn't seem right. There are lots of guys that I want to see better utilized, but those guys should be utilized on RAW, SmackDown, Main Event, and Superstars. Plus kayfabe wise, if these developmental guys can beat a main roster guy, why are they still on NXT? Eventually NXT might end up phasing out most if not all of the developmental guys and just revert it back to what it previously was, a pseudo-brand for directionless main roster talent. |

Seriously Xavier Woods hasn't exactly won a lot of NXT titles, yet he gets called up. That must mean he's not good enough to beat the NXT champs. But if he's not good enough to beat them why is he on the main roster? you've got to view NXT like minor league baseball. A place to train young guys, maybe stash some vets you may need and to rehab some injuries. |

Cesaro shows up mostly to have great matches and doesn't seriously challenge for NXT title, he's very clearly a main tier talent that shows up to steal the show and he's treated as such. Hunico and Camacho are treated like guys that work on NXT. |

Those guys should be utilized more on the other shows rather than slumming it on NXT. Treating the guys on the main roster as if they work on NXT just needlessly makes them look bad. WWE is just blatantly stating that Hunico and Camacho (and others) aren't good enough to be on the main shows on a semi-regular basis and it does nothing to put over the developmental talents. A victory over one of them should be treated as a huge upset, but instead it ends up meaning nothing because the lower half of the main roster is treated like "one of the boys" on NXT. |

They should be on the other shows, but they aren't. It's not like they ignore that both men were on the main roster and, quite frankly, I'd much rather get to see them have pretty good matches on NXT than whatever they'd be doing on Superstars. At this point, NXT is a more powerful tool for the WWE to showcase and elevate development and lower card talen than Superstars ever was if only because more people see what happens on NXT than Superstars in most case both domestically and internationally. |

But that's also the weirdest part of the team: Hunico and Camacho are the most "tweener" team of any on NXT- to the point where, if it comes down to it, you could argue "Hunico" is a main roster guy, but "Camacho" is an NXT guy (Hunico was injured, but during that time Camacho never even made an appearance on non-NXT TV. For all intents and purposes, Camacho's entire "WWE main roster" status comes from hanging out with Hunico.) |

Konnor & Viktor (or whatever their new Mortal Kombat names are) aren't even over with the NXT crowd. Imagine if they put them in front of the regular WWE audience... ADR would have two new step-brothers. Silence.
They have no personality, their characters sucks and they aren't even impressive in ring. One guy is your average big 300lbs hoss who has been signed for a decade and still in comparison makes Ryback look like Ricky Steamboat.
Rick Victor is just barely average. Nothing sticks out about him.
It's sad that they are currently the only NXT tag team.

Maybe Triple H doesn't feel the need to build up tag-teams in NXT right now as things are going so good in the division over on the main roster? Sort of the opposite of the women's division

Travis & Tyler are a regular face jobber team (once on NXT TV, a few time on houseshows)
