They were answered by The Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson). Fresh off of their departure from WWE, the former NXT UK Tag Team Champions scored the win to earn a shot at the titles.

Grizzled Young Veterans Begin A New Chapter
Before they popped up at DPW, the Grizzled Young Veterans posted a video in which they officially kicked off a new chapter of their careers. Drake noted that they wouldn’t be dealing with a production crew, spooky lighting, or contact lenses.
They also announced that they were taking bookings as part of a “Global Takeover” tour.
