Wes Lee and Nash Carter are a valuable addition to the NXT tag team division. Teams like the Undisputed Era and Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch have held the division on their backs, and it’s time for them to move on.
In the Dusty Classic, teams like Grizzled Young Veterans and Imperium are also taking part. These teams are likely to put on insane matches against MSK, given how talented Wes and Nash are. They were a regular attraction in Impact and PWG, making them one of the most sought after teams in North America.

Wes Lee and Nash Carter faced off against Isiah Scott and Jake Atlas in the first round of the Dusty Classic. This match served a much greater purpose than just the debut for MSK. It also served as a way of taking the Isiah Scott-Jake Atlas storyline forward. Swerve has been teasing a heel turn for sometime, and Atlas is the perfect foil for him.
Are they the favourites to win the Dusty Rhodes Classic?

MSK’s debut automatically makes them big favourites to win the entire tournament. Former winners Undisputed Era still have the best chances of winning now that former NXT Champion Adam Cole is wrestling. Teams like GYV and Imperium also pose a threat.
