Let’s talk about the best match of the night, between four of the hardest individuals in WWE NXT. Timothy Thatcher and Tommaso Ciampa teamed up once again in the semi-finals of the Dusty Rhodes Classic to take on The Grizzled Young Veterans.

Ciampa went after Zack Gibson early and punished him for taunting the duo early on. Ciampa and Thatcher controlled the match at first, before James Drake got in on the action. The duo sent Ciampa down hard and he landed on his surgically repaired neck.

Thatcher had to do most of the work for his team from there on as the GYV used their experience to keep him grounded with submissions. Ciampa got back in the match, but it was evident that he had injured his neck following the spot.

The GYV controlled the match in the later stages and hit the Ticket to Mayhem to book their tickets to NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day. This was a great match that showed why GYV deserves to win the tournament after losing the final last year.

GYV will likely be the favorites once again, even though the new MSK duo is ripping up the rest of the WWE NXT tag team division after an impressive debut.
