The annual Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic kicked off during last night’s NXT, and WWE had advertised a team named MSK to face Isaiah Scott and Jake Atlas ahead of time. The mystery team was revealed to be The Rascalz, who last wrestled for Impact Wrestling, and in addition to having a new team name, the duo had different ring names. Dezmond Xavier is now known as Wes Lee, and Zachary Wentz is using Nash Carter. NXT commentator Vic Joseph would acknowledge their past during the match by describing them as rascals. You can watch the reveal and entrance below.
MSK was victorious in this match after Carter pinned Scott following a double-team neck breaker. They now progress to the second round and have an excellent chance to make the finals. The pair have a lot of experience as a team after first teaming in 2015 on the independents and wrestling together over 200 times since. During that time, the team successfully won the CZW Tag Team Championships in 2017 and are technically still the PWG tag champions, as the promotion is currently on hiatus.
