The time has finally arrived as NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn IV is finally here, the crowd at the Barclays Center as boisterous as we’ve come to expect every August. That rowdiness was only exacerbated tonight with the opening contest as The Undisputed Era defended the NXT Tag Team Titles against the former champions, Moustache Mountain in a match that many believed could steal the show.

Tyler Bate and Trent Seven wasted no time at the opening bell as the action was fast and furious, the challengers looking to put the match away early to regain their titles. However, the champions were not ready to go quietly and were able to single Bate out, working over various body parts to not only try for the win, but also to punish him at the same time. A hot tag to Seven would turn the tide briefly, but when Roderick Strong and Kyle O’Reilly attempted to do the same, Bate would step in and the match began to break down.

Tyler would go airborne to the outside to take out O’Reilly and nearly put Strong away in the ring with the Tyler Driver ’97, but the champions would begin working over the left leg once again with O’Reilly looking for the tap out. Trent would call for the towel just like we saw Bate use to cost them the titles in the first place, however Seven would change his mind and throw it into the crowd instead before getting the tag. A Seven Star Lariat wasn’t enough to finish it, so Moustache Mountain would deliver the Knee Drop/Burning Hammer combination that still couldn’t put it away, to the surprise of the challengers.

Another failed double team attempt by the challengers led to a vicious combination sweep/clothesline by the champions, giving The Undisputed Era the three count.
