The first match of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic took during Wednesday’s NXT, and it saw Imperium take down The Forgotten Sons to advance to the next round of the tournament, thanks to some incredible skill from the big bruisers in Imperium. Things ended for The Forgotten Sons when Imperium landed a European Bomb on Steve Cutler.

Later in the night, The Undisputed Era and Gallus took to the ring, where they competed in the second match of the first round for the Classic. Despite Gallus looking like they might upset The Undisputed Era and come away with a win, a late Adam Cole interference assured that Gallus wouldn’t be able to win. Instead, it was The Undisputed Era who came away with the win, advancing into the second round of the tournament in the process.
