The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is down to four teams after Tuesday’s quarterfinals matches.
El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. & Galeno advanced to the semi-finals, defeating BirthRight’s Charlie Dempsey & Lexis King in the first of two quarterfinal matches on NXT this week.
Zilla Fatu ran down to the ring to get involved as Wagner hit King with a Michinoku Driver, and Galeno followed with a Frog Splash to grab the victory. Fatu continued his attack and struck Dempsey with a pop-up Samoan drop.
In the final quarterfinal match, Hank & Tank defeated The Creeds. The heels had the heat on Tank for a long portion when Hank received the hot tag. Hank hit Julius with a swinging side slam and headed to the floor, where the two took out Brutus. Hank & Tank hit a running powerslam and shoulder tackle combo on Julius as Tank made the cover for the victory.
The AAA tag team champions will now meet Hank & Tank in the semi-finals. On the other side of the bracket are NXT tag champions, The Vanity Project, and their opponents, Romeo Moreno & Noam Dar.
