Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semi-Finals
Rhyno and Baron Corbin vs. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan

Another match that sees the up and comers facing the well-known team, again i can see the up and comers getting the win and progressing to the final.

Rhyno and Corbin are somewhat of the odd couple, with Corbin being the “Lone Wolf” for the majority of his NXT career. When he and Rhyno teamed it was like they were just thrown together to be beaten and then feud again and i think that’s exactly what will happen after this match. Corbin fits the solo guy slot better, he has the weird intrigue and will go on to be reasonably successful in the overall future of WWE. Rhyno is the more than capable veteran who can help him get there with a few brutal matches coming out the other side of TakeOver Respect.

Gable and Jordan are, much like Dawson and Wilder, the future of the tag team division. They are a true tag team, not just two stars thrown together to make up the numbers. We’ve seen some great teams hold the Tag Team titles in the past and this team will be one of the great ones to hold them in the future.

This match will see the younger team get the win to set up the final of the best two young teams in NXT, the win will benefit Gable and Jordan so much more than their opponents here. The legacy that Dusty left was one of building the stars of the future and that’s why the final needs to be the two up and coming teams facing each other.

Winners: Jordan and Gable
