#4 Adam Cole and Roderick Strong advance to the second round of Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament, a massive brawl breaks out on NXT
In the main event of this week's NXT, Undisputed Era's Adam Cole and Roderick Strong took on Breezango in a first-round match tournament of NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Tournament. An injured Kyle O'Reilly was hanging around the ring corner, cheering for his stablemates.
The match was a pretty good back and forth contest between the two teams, though the attack by Kings of NXT on Kyle O'Reilly was the bigger talking point. Just when the match was getting into its second gear, the trio of Pete Dunne, Danny Burch, and Oney Lorcan laid down Reilly and brutalized him. NXT Champion Finn Balor, too, made his way to the ringside but was also taken down after a massive brawl broke down.
While Cole and Strong were visibly distracted by this attack, they somehow got over it and emerged victorious in this bout against Breezango. Post-match, Undisputed Era, and Kings of NXT had a staredown as the show went off-air.
Like mentioned earlier, Reilly turning on his stablemates still seems like a logical endpoint to this story. The chances of Cole and Roderick winning the tournament and challenging Burch and Lorcan for their titles also seem quite high as they are already tangling with them. The title match between the two can be the right stage where Reilly finally betrays his friends and embark on a high-profile singles run.
