The finale for the 2021 WWE NXT Men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic was rumored to take place at the NXT “Takeover: Vengeance Day” ever since WWE confirmed it. Now it has officially been added to the card after this week’s episode of NXT.


The quarterfinals finished last night where Legado Del Fantasma (Raul Mendoza, Joaquin Wilde) defeated Lucha House Party (Lince Dorado, Gran Metalik) to advance to the semi-finals. The main event match of the night then witnessed Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher defeat The Undisputed Era (Roderick Strong, Adam Cole) to secure their spots in the semis.

Next Wednesday, WWE NXT will present the “Takeover: Vengeance Day” go-home episode which will wrap up the semifinals with the winners advancing to the finals set for the PPV event. The lineups will feature Legado Del Fantasma vs. MSK (Wes Lee, Nash Carter), plus Ciampa and Thatcher vs. The Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake, Zack Gibson).
