On tonight’s episode of NXT, the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Classic tag-team tournament will take place. Additionally, two big singles matches will also round out today’s card.
The show was taped from Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida.
Dusty Rhodes Classic Finals
Pete Dunne & Roderick Strong vs the Authors of Pain
The AOP will be looking to win their second straight Dusty Rhodes Classic.
As for Dunne and Strong, Dunne successfully defended the UK Championship against Strong earlier this year and there could be some tension between the two despite their victory in the semi-finals.
With Bobby Fish’s injury now expected to keep him out of Takeover: New Orleans, we should find out more about the next tag-team title opportunity on tonight’s show.
Killian Dain versus Lars Sullivan
2 of the 6 competitors vying for the new Noth American Championship on Saturday will face off in 1-on-1 action tonight.
Sullivan is just returning from injury while Dain has been steadily moving up the ranks as a single’s competitor in recent months.
Kairi Sane vs Vanessa Borne
Ember Moon and Shayna Baszler may have their eyes on this match-up. A win for Sane could move her into title contention.
Sane recently lost to Shayna Baszler on an episode of NXT filmed from Center Stage in Atlanta. She is now 1-1 versus the Queen of Spades in 1-on-1 action, having defeated her in the finals of the Mae Young Classic. If Sane defeats Borne here, and Baszler defeats Moon at Takeover, we could see the rubber match between Baszler and Sane next. Bazler defeating Moon at Takeover is a big “if”, however.
As for Borne, she’s 1-2 in NXT single’s matches and went 1-1 in the Mae Young Classic (she won her qualifying match and lost in the first round). Her last match on NXT television was a loss to Nikki Cross in February.
