MSK previously won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, which put them in line for an NXT Tag Team Title shot.
NXT General Manager Regal was forced to vacate the NXT Tag Team Titles after Danny Burch suffered a separated shoulder on the March 17 episode of NXT after an awkward suplex spot with Karrion Kross. It was noted that Burch would be out of action for six months.
