SAnitY (Eric Young & Alexander Wolfe) vs. Roderick Strong & Pete Dunne
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Semifinal
The night's main event kicked off with Alexander Wolfe powerslamming Roderick Strong with both Pete Dunne and Eric Young coming into the fray immediately after. Both teams stared each other down before the referee regained control and sent the unofficial men back to their respective aprons.
Two tags were made and Young charged at Dunne, only to miss and gets rolled up. Dunne then kicked Young's arm and the two men on the apron came into the ring again, before a now much less patient referee sent the men to the apron again. Wolfe tagged in and instantly started to beat down Pete Dunne as we went to commercial break.
Back from the break, Strong and Young were in the ring with the former unleashing chops before tagging in Pete Dunne again. We saw some nice teamwork ending with a cover and a near fall. Young then tried to tag out but Dunne was well in control of his opponent.
Dunne, again, went to work on Young's arm, but Young countered with a crisp suplex that brought both partners into the ring again. Wolfe hit an uppercut on Strong before taking a knee to the midsection. Wolfe then hit a German suplex and a death valley driver, but again only managed a near fall.
Eric Young then hit a neckbreaker on Strong but Dunne broke the cover. Wolfe went up top but took a hit on his way down. Young received the same fate before Strong went up top, and also came down unceremoniously.
Young hit a flying elbow for a very close two count, before Strong fought back to get a near fall of his own, only stopped by Alexander Wolfe. Pete Dunne came into the fray and escaped a suplex with a flip and a kick to the back. Roderick Strong hit the End of Heartache on Wolfe, tagged in Dunne and they hit an assisted side suplex to pick up the win. Dunne and Strong join AOP in the final.
Winners: Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne
The show wasn't done there, though, as we cut back to Cathy Kelley one last time, and the sixth man who will compete in a Ladder Match to crown the inaugural NXT North American Champion is...
Richochet!
