The Dusty Rhodes Classic kicked off on WWE NXT last week, and The Grizzled Young Veterans managed to draw first blood. The debuting MSK made an impact in the tournament, while The Undisputed ERA managed to hold their own against Breezango.

This week, one of the biggest matches scheduled for the tournament will see NXT UK’s Imperium take on WWE RAW’s The Lucha House Party.

While The Lucha House Party hasn’t won any gold in WWE yet, the team of Lince Dorado and Gran Metalik has been impressive in recent weeks. Even though that has been the case, WWE must allow the former NXT Tag Team Champions to dominate and pick up the victory during the show.

Imperium has been impressive over the past year and is one of the favorites to win the tournament. Dorado and Metalik belong to RAW, and WWE must push the team on the brand as it has been doing well over there.

On the other hand, building Imperium by allowing them a victory over a RAW tag team will give them a boost on NXT.
