6. Baron Corbin and Rhyno vs. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan
The second semi final of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic comes in lowest in our list. As with the other semi final this was tale of the established singles stars teaming to face one of the young up and coming teams in NXT.
Gable and Jordan are one of the best tag teams that NXT has to offer and came out to a massive reaction from the crowd. They have quickly become one of the most over teams in the entire WWE, they will hold the WWE Tag Team Championships one day but on this night it wasn’t their night.
Rhyno and Corbin are two of the most destructive forces in NXT but they had no time for Gable and Jordan. The young team got in some sporadic flurries of offence but were ultimately beaten by the power of the men across the ring from them. The ending saw a massive End of Days from Corbin on Gable and the big men would advance to the final.
It was an entertaining match, if not a little disappointing that the Gable and Jordan didn’t get the rub from the win. Their time will come though. Gable has the look of a man who will become a true main event star in the future, he has the ability, his character is developing by the week and he could easily hang with the singles stars at the top of the card.
Next: No. 5
