The lineup for the 2024 NXT Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag-Team Classic Tournament is now complete, with the final team confirmed during January 9, 2024 episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network. The action unfolded at the Capitol Wrestling Center in Orlando, Florida.

In a backstage segment on the show, Carmelo Hayes made an announcement to a somewhat hesitant Trick Williams, revealing that they would be the last team to join this year’s tournament.

Williams initially had reservations, as he believed he should be focused on his NXT World Championship opportunity against Ilja Dragunov. However, Hayes managed to persuade him to embrace the tournament.

The complete bracket for this year’s Dusty Classic was then unveiled through an official graphic displayed on the screen. On one side of the bracket, fans can look forward to matches featuring Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin against Gallus, as well as Hank Walker & Tank Ledger taking on Axiom & Nathan Frazer – both of which were set to happen on the same night’s episode.

On the other side of the bracket, Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams will face off against Edris Enofe & Malik Blade, while Chase U will lock horns with LWO.

The NXT Men’s Dusty Classic Tournament promises to deliver thrilling tag-team action and showcase the talents of these exciting pairings as they vie for supremacy in this prestigious competition.
