#2 Best: MSK advanced in the Dusty Classic on WWE NXT

WWE NXT opened with a brilliant tag team match as MSK began their journey towards a second straight victory in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Wes Lee and Nash Carter shared the ring with Kushida and Ikemen Jiro, who promptly reminded everyone how good they were in the ring.

Despite their questionable team name, Jacket Time had a great showing. They pushed MSK to their limits and nearly upset them as well. But the right team won. The former Tag Team Champions should reach the final, following a great start to the tournament.


#2 Worst: Cora Jade's attempts to team with Raquel Gonzalez

We've already seen enough female tag teams where one partner isn't interested in teaming with the other. Io Shirai and Zoey Stark are still carrying that in vein, but now, Cora Jade is trying to get Raquel Gonzalez on her side for the Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Aside from being repetitive, this seems like a waste of both performers' potential. Jade doesn't benefit from begging Gonzalez to team with her, even if it will likely end well for her.

However, at this point, the former WWE NXT Women's Champion would be better off leaving the brand for good and debuting in the Women's Royal Rumble Match. She could make a major impact on Saturday.
