Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Finals
Dawson and Wilder vs. Jordan and Gable
This whole tournament is about the legacy of the legend that was Dusty Rhodes. Rhodes was the man behind a lot of the stars that NXT calls their own and his memory will live on for many years to come. Having said that this whole tournament needs to end with the two young teams facing each other, the future of the tag team division in NXT needs it.
After a gruelling pair of semi finals both teams will be ready for the final, with the eventual winners being Jordan and Gable. Both teams of finalists have beaten much more experienced opponents to get to this point and now it’s time to show what they can really produce. All four men are more than capable of producing the goods in the ring, with Gable in particular looking like he could go on to become a big star in WWE as a singles star.
I expect a technical masterclass from these four men, a fitting tribute to Dusty Rhodes and then seeing both Cody and Dustin Rhodes presenting the trophy to the winners, it will be an emotional night for all concerned.
Coming out of the final, Jordan and Gable need to be pushed as legitimate contenders for the NXT Tag Team Titles currently held by the Vaudevillains.
Winners: Jordan and Gable
