Losers: The Ascension and Vaudevillains
Being on the pre-show doesn’t hurt you, but when you are so far down the order, nobody believes you have a chance of actually winning. Both these teams have zero momentum as of now.
It is hard to remember the time when The Ascension was the NXT tag team champions. The same goes for The Vaudevillains as well. Remember them competing in the tag team tournament finals against Enzo Amore and Big Cass?
They could have been booked to put up at least a sliver of fight. Being heels, creative could have had gotten away with a number of options for them. Perhaps someone could have attacked with the steel chair to draw the disqualification. The babyfaces could still come out on top but that would have made the heels look slightly dangerous at the least. It may just be too late to elevate them, though.
