[] There's nothing that says 'feud' quite like getting hit by your former partner's finish. You know Hugo's been working on something that isn't quite so flippy for his heel work. You'll set up a Duke for it, and then he'll hit you with it instead. Then you'll eat the pin and take the beating.
[] Keep it simple. You'll go for a tag at the end of the match and Hugo will jump down, leaving you to be destroyed by the Dukes. Afterwards, Hugo'll beat you down.
I'm kind of torn between these two, but the second one by itself doesn't really sit that well with me.
[] Why does the turn have to happen during the match? You'll wrestle a clean match and lose. Afterwards, Hugo will snap and you'll go down.
This reminds me of nothing quite so much as it does the Y2AJ breakup back in 2016 (even though it was only a thing for a month, if that), where Chris Jericho and AJ Styles were challenging the New Day for the Tag Team Titles.
Jericho got pinned by the New Day, and then beat the shit out of AJ (who had earned their team a title opportunity in the first place by beating at least one of the stable members a week or two previous) with at least a Codebreaker or two, before tearing up one of their team shirts and stuffing it in AJ's mouth. What could possibly have lead the savior of the fandom universe to betray his partner in such a way? For the pettiest of reasons of course, being that they were in the city where he made his WWE debut so long ago, and yet the crowd was chanting more for AJ than for him.
And with the rocky dynamic Corsair and Incision have had, competing against each other despite coming together as a team, I really do like the idea of using that option for Hugo's heel turn.
Having said that, I kind of want to combine it with the "left hanging on the tag" idea. ISTR Hugo and Corsair having something of an ongoing dick-measuring contest with each other, so I'm thinking of booking it something like this:
[]You'll go for a tag at the end of the match, only for Hugo to jump down and leave you hanging. Rather than walk away, however, he'll egg you on to see if you can beat the Dukes by yourself, acting like he's just messing with you instead of betraying you. You put up a valiant effort, but ultimately fall to the numbers game and eat a pin, prompting a boastful Hugo to come back into the ring and beat the tar out of you himself, before finally hitting you with his new heel finisher.
Thoughts, anyone?
