I thought Moustache Mountain already won the titles?

Anyway Ciampa vs Gargano is where its at. this could be the best NXT show in years, the card is amazing.

They did, but Undisputed Era won them back a week or two later. They pretty much just had them win so they could give the UK show a big title change.

They did, in England, but lost it back on an NXTTV match that meltzer gave five stars.

The Ciampa vs Gargano match is sudden, I'm curious if they speed up the final conclusion to their feud, or drag it out some more. Either way, it's going to be tough to top their last match.

Eh...it's wrestling. Sometimes you want to give the crowd a big home town win. They did that, and it also allowed this excellent rivalry to continue.

equally they could have just used it to give the Undisputed Era more heat for this feud without having a short title change (especially when Moustache Mountain will just win it again most likely).

I'm pretty sure Undisputed Era is walking out of this one with all their belts intact. The change was to pop the UK crowd and also to build to that match where Bate had to throw in the towel to save Trent from himself when he refused to give up.

Triple H should be a politician. The way he dances around any criticisms of the main roster product while simultaneously encouraging the fans to revolt subtly is genius.

NXT continues to do almost everything right, but couldn't they come up with a better name than Moustache Mountain?

I think Moustache Mountain was Trent's nickname prior to NXT.

Just a thought - since Trent was in the Transformers movie called The Last Knight, that'd be a name they could have a lot of fun with.

Yeah, it was definitely a pre-NXT thing because I remember Seven doing the mustache twirl in the first UK tournament.

Maybe I'm just dumb. It's entirely possible.

Yea I remember back in either 99 or 2000, they gave Edge the IC belt at a house show in Canada on a Saturday, only to have him drop it right back 24 hours later on the PPV. And now that my memory is returning, it mustve been 99 because it was Jeff Jarrett he borrowed the belt from for that 1 night
