Following last night's NXT broadcast, we now know it will be the Creed Brothers and MSK squaring off in the finals of the 2022 WWE NXT Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

To get to the finals, Brutus and Julius Creed toppled the Grizzled Young Veterans in the semi-finals, whilst later in the night MSK bested Edris Enofe and Malik Blade to cement their shot at claiming the Dusty Cup for the second year running. Both matches were great, with all four teams looking good in these outings.

Previously, Diamond Mine's Creed Brothers beat Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs in the opening round of this year's men's tournament, and MSK got the better of Jacket Time in their first round match-up. As alluded to, Nash Carter and Wes Lee beat GYV to win last year's Dusty Classic, and they'll be hoping to do the same again this year and earn themselves an opportunity to take the NXT Tag Team Titles back from Imperium.
