Posted on by Bryan Rose

Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin are the 2024 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament winners.

The duo defeated Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams in the opener of Sunday’s NXT Vengeance Day premium live event, with Breakker hitting a spear on Hayes for the win. As a result of their victory, Breakker & Corbin have now earned a future NXT Tag Team title match against current champions Stacks & Tony D’Angelo.

Just prior to the start of the tournament, Corbin suggested to Breakker that they team up. Breakker seemed reluctant about the idea, but eventually agreed. They defeated Gallus and the team of Nathan Frazer & Axiom to reach the finals.

Although Williams wanted to focus on his NXT Championship match against Ilja Dragunov at Vengeance Day, he eventually agreed to team with Hayes, saying he could wrestle twice in the same night if need be and become a triple crown champion. They defeated Edris Enofe & Malik Blade as well as the Latino World Order (Joaquin Wilde and Cruz Del Toro) to make it to Sunday’s tournament finals.

Posted on by Bryan Rose

Two teams have advanced in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament.

Bron Breakker & Baron Corbin and Axiom & Nathan Frazer won their first round matches on Tuesday. Breakker and Corbin defeated Gallus, while Axiom & Frazer defeated Hank Walker & Tank Ledger. They will now face each other in the semifinals.

The rest of the tournament bracket was also revealed on Tuesday. Next week’s matches will see Chase U (Riley Osborne & Duke Hudson) take on LWO (Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro), while Carmelo Hayes & Trick Williams will face Edris Enofe & Malik Blade. The finals will take place at NXT Vengeance Day on February 4.

Earlier on NXT, Hayes told Williams that he had secured the final spot in the tournament. Williams wasn’t sure about entering, instead wanting to focus on his future NXT Championship match. He warmed up to the idea, however, once Hayes brought up that Williams could become a double champion.

The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is making its return after no tournament was held in 2023. The winners of the 2022 tournament were The Creed Brothers for the men’s tournament and the team of Kay Lee Ray (Alba Fyre) and Io Shirai (IYO SKY) in the women’s tournament.
