Predicting The 16 Teams In The 2017 NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Classic (And How Far They Will Go)

12. Tino Sabbatelli & Riddick Moss

Another duo who fell in the first round last year, Moss & Sabbatelli seem to have been on the cusp of something for a long time now. The two have been teaming together for nearly 18 months, without carving out a consistent niche for themselves on NXT TV.

Sabbatelli has been featured on WWE Network programming before, and his NFL background will almost certainly stand him in good stead in the company. The Performance Center exists for guys like him, and he will be given every possible opportunity to improve.

Riddick Moss did himself no favours when he accidentally injured Hideo Itami last year. The former Digg Rawlis has been a part of WWE developmental for almost three years with little upward movement, and could soon be approaching a critical point in his career. This tag team is the best spot for both men right now, but they are still way down the pecking order.

Born in the middle of Wales in the middle of the 1980's, John can't quite remember when he started watching wrestling but he has a terrible feeling that Dino Bravo was involved. Now living in Prague, John spends most of his time trying to work out how Tomohiro Ishii still stands upright. His favourite wrestler of all time is Dean Malenko, but really it is Repo Man. He is the author of 'An Illustrated History of Slavic Misery', the best book about the Slavic people that you haven't yet read. You can get that and others from www.poshlostbooks.com.
