Andy Will Be Angry If…: NXT Takeover 2 Edition

The Ascension vs Kalisto and Sin Cara

NXT Tag Team Championship Match

This match has had some serious build-up.  WWE did things right with the number one contender tournament, highlighting the fact that The Ascension has steamrolled the competition, and that a new team had to step up and earn the right to challenge for the straps.  Kalisto and Sin Cara are over, and they’re ready.
It’s time for a title change.  The Ascension have had a great reign, but they’ve really accomplished all they can in NXT.  It’s time for them to sink or swim on the main roster.
Sin Cara and Kalisto are a great team, and make so much more sense than either man did with Ricardo ‘el Local” Rodriguez. Both guys are athletic as hell.  Both guys are incredibly talented.  Both guys need a showcase to get to the “next level.”  This could be what gets Kalisto over, and what FINALLY repairs the damaged Sin Cara character… assuming it’s not too late to save it.
I’ll be angry if: The Ascension win.  They’re at a point now where they’ve beaten everyone, and have nothing left to do.  They gain nothing by keeping the titles.
I’ll keep my cool if: Sin Cara and Kalisto go over in a 15-20 minute match that lets them look as good as they are, and launches them to the level they deserve to reach.  After the match, Corporate Kane appears, shakes hands with the Ascension, and recruits them to the main roster.
What I’m expecting: Sin Cara and Kalisto go over, but I don’t get my totally-logical Corporate Kane crossover.  I mean, it doesn’t get much more logical than the DEMON calling up the supernatural heel tag team, but “wrestling” and “logical” are often mutually exclusive concepts.
