Former WWE star Simon Gotch (now known as Simon Grimm) was recently interviewed by Still Real Radio. During the interview, he shared the creative idea that he had for the Vaudevillains and their NXT Tag Team Championship run.

The idea would have started prior to the Vaudevillians winning the NXT Tag Team Titles. The idea was that they would mess with Blake & Murphy (who were the Champions) for several weeks. Here is what he said:
“The idea was going to be, Blake and Murphy go out there with the tag titles, and their opponents don’t come to the ring. They’re declared the winners because their opponents never showed up. And this was going to go on for a couple of weeks, and then it was going to get to a point where they’re starting to get curious why, they’re getting questioned why their opponents don’t show up, they don’t know. Eventually it’s going to lead to them in the ring, waiting for their opponents and we come dragging the bodies out and basically tell them they’re not going to be able to wrestle anyone until they wrestle us. We’re gonna make sure that every single team that goes to wrestle them is going to get hurt before they get to the ring.”
After the Vaudevillains won the titles, Gotch shared his idea for how they would defend the belts:
“The whole idea of this is going to be that eventually when we take the belts from them, Regal was going to come out as commissioner, his whole idea was going to be — well since you guys decided, you know, you have a whole division that’s very mad at you for what you’re doing, so here’s what we’re going to do. The titles are now on the line in 100 percent of your matches. Not only that, if you’re disqualified, or there’s a count out etc. the titles will change hands. What this was going to do was basically put us in a situation where as heels there’s a whole division that’s coming after us. Any two guys who they put together have a shot at taking the belts from us legitimately, because it could be through disqualification, count out or anything like that. Eventually when we drop the titles it’s then a bigger deal because you’ve built us up as these dastardly heels who have been running away essentially and are kind of backed into a corner trying to survive.”
