Isenberg Reacts: WWE NXT Takeover San Antonio Preview

#DIY vs. The Authors of Pain

Johnny_Gargano_Stacked

Johnny Gargano and Tomasso Ciampa will take on Rezar and Akam (The Authors of Pain) at NXT Takeover: San Antonio. This is a huge test for The Authors of Pain, who have to follow up on two incredible tag team championship matches involving #DIY and The Revival. AoP are nothing like these two teams, which worry me. They rely on power move after power move to pick up wins, with very little fluent motions in the ring. #DIY is the complete opposite and rely on their natural skill and speed. I am skeptical of this match, but Gargano and Ciampa would be my first choices to get the absolute best of out these monsters of men.

When the bell rings, it needs to be fast and hard-hitting, not methodical and slow. If the action starts fast, the fans will invest and connect with it. If not, they can drift off and really not care much about the outcome. With TM-61 on the sidelines for a while, #DIY have to be booked like The Revival and overcoming the odds and talent to lead a depleted division in NXT.

Winners: #DIY
