NXT Announces The Teams Competing In The 2022 Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic
WWE has revealed the field for the 2022 Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
During the New Year’s Evil edition of NXT, it was announced that the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic would be kicking off soon. WWE later revealed that the men’s tournament would begin on January 18, while the women’s tournament will commence in February.
The winning team not only earns the prestigious trophy, but also a shot at the Tag Team Titles. Last year’s prizewinners were MSK for the men and Raquel Gonzalez and Dakota Kai for the women (this was the first year the women’s division was included in the Dusty Cup). Both teams would go on to hold the belts.
On January 15, NXT announced the teams that will be competing in the tournament which is set to kick off this Tuesday. Though no bracket has been revealed, the full lineup can be seen below.
- MSK (Wes Lee and Nash Carter)
