NXT Announces Mystery Team For 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic

With the 2021 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic to commence on tonight’s episode of NXT, WWE has revealed the final brackets for the tournament – and interestingly, one of the tandems featured is a mystery team named MSK.

For those keeping track, WWE actually put in a trademark for the “MSK” name earlier this month.

While there’s no official word on just who MSK may be, already fervent speculation throws up the possibility of this team being Dezmond Xavier and Zachary Wentz.

Along with Trey Miguel, Xavier and Wentz competed as the Rascalz in IMPACT Wrestling up until November of last year. After their IMPACT departures, Xavier and Wentz signed with WWE and headed to the Performance Center in December, although Miguel is still currently weighing up his options.

Whoever MSK are, they’ll be facing off against Jake Atlas and Isiah “Swerve” Scott in the first round of the 2021 Dusty Classic.

Tonight’s episode of NXT will see the Dusty Classic kick-off with Undisputed Era’s Adam Cole and Roderick Strong vs. Breezango, and the Grizzled Young Veterans vs. Ever-Rise.

The winners of this 16-team tournament will get a shot at the NXT Tag Team Championships currently held by Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch, in addition to receiving the prestigious Dusty Classic Cup.
