WWE NXT announces first two Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic teams

The first two teams in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic have been confirmed.

NXT announced on social media that Nathan Frazer & Axiom and Baron Corbin & Bron Breakker will team together in the tournament, which begins on Tuesday’s show when they’ll be in action. Their opponents will be announced Monday.

Both teams assembled on last week’s NXT. Corbin and Breakker, who have exchanged words on more than one occasion, reluctantly agreed to team together. Axiom and Frazer, who recently faced off against one another at the NXT Deadline pre-show last month, were more enthused about teaming with one another. However, they had a confrontation with another tag team, Edris Enofe & Malik Blade.

Here is the updated lineup for NXT:

  • Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic: Nathan Frazer & Axiom vs. ???
  • Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic: Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin vs. ???
  • NXT Tag Team Champions Tony D’Angelo & Stacks Lorenzo defend against OTM’s Bronco Nima & Lucien Price
  • Cora Jade vs. Gigi Dolin
