NXT Takeover: New York kicked off with a fast-paced bout that saw Ricochet & Aleister Black face The War Raiders for the NXT Tag Team
Championships. Despite their best efforts, Ricochet and Black did not win the titles last night. It was confirmed by the NXT commentary team that
this was the final NXT match for Ricochet and Black. The War Raiders bowed in front of the them after they won their match, and the fans in the
Barclays Center in Brooklyn cheered for them as they left the NXT ring for the final time. Black and Ricochet were called up to the main roster earlier
this year. Although they failed to win gold last night, they could still win the SmackDown Tag Team Championships during WrestleMania 35 this
Sunday.

For at least one weekend, the OG Bullet Club members are back together. Tama Tonga, Bad Luck Fale, Luke Gallows, and Karl Anderson met in
New York City this week for the first time since the latter two left New Japan Pro Wrestling in 2016. These four men are considered to be among the
founding members of the infamous faction. What also makes the reunion interesting is that there have been reports claiming that Gallows and
Anderson may soon be on the way out of WWE once their contracts expire. If that were to happen, they could easily follow Tonga and Fale back to
Japan to reunite the Bullet Club permanently. For right now though, take a look at the boys getting back together again down below.

It is not uncommon for some names from the past to be invited backstage for some WWE shows. Despite this, fans have been surprised to
learn that former ECW star Tazz was backstage for last night’s NXT Takeover: New York show. According to PWInsider, the former world champion
and New York native was present during the show yesterday. His presence marked the first time that he has appeared at a WWE event in years.
There is currently no word on why Tazz was backstage last night. Tazz currently hosts The Taz Show on CBS Radio. Tomorrow, he will be doing a
special WrestleMania edition of his show. It is possible that he may discuss his experiences backstage in during the Takeover event this weekend.
