NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic Opener: Jake Atlas and Isaiah "Swerve" Scott vs MSK (Nash Carter and Wes Lee)

Nash Carter of MSK started things off with Jake Atlas. Atlas and Isaiah "Swerve" Scott put their NXT Cruiserweight Championship hopes on hold in order to take part in this tournament, and if they got far enough would take on Santos Escobar's Legado Del Fantasma.

Carter escaped once Swerve tagged in and hit a springboard corkscrew press for a two-count. Wes Lee tagged in but couldn't keep Swerve on the mat. Swerve launched Lee into the corner, stomping him out. Swerve and Atlas were way more aggressive tonight than usual.

Atlas was back in, battering Lee with chops. An elbow stunned Atlas, but Scott took him to the floor when the ref's back was turned. Lee responded with a big right, only to be rocked by a suicide dive.

Carter followed up, diving onto both men. Swerve responded with the running apron boot, but Swerve and Atlas were caught again with a dive, this time from Lee. Back from the break, Carter brought Swerve into the middle of the ring for an armbar.

Swerve broke away and ducked an enziguri. Lee and Atlas tagged in, leading to Lee crushing Atlas in the corner with a rounding elbow smash. A striking combination left Atlas on the ground for a leaping dropkick.

Hot Fire Flame connected, but luckily for Atlas, Swerve broke it up. Swerve tagged back in, and Lee was rocked with an elbow/German suplex combo. Swerve slammed Lee as well, and the duo nearly ended MSK's debut with a spin-out pump handle slam/450 splash combo. Carter managed to break up the pin.

Atlas and Swerve took Lee up top, but whatever they were trying was thwarted by Carter, who brought Atlas to the ground. A leaping reverse Rana spiked Scott, and MSK planted him with a spinebuster/running blockbuster combination.

Results: MSK defeated Isaiah "Swerve" Scott and Jake Atlas via pinfall on NXT.

MSK debuted in a huge way in the NXT Dusty Cup, knocking off two of the best cruiserweights in the company. From IMPACT Wrestling to WWE NXT, these Rascalz are here to play.
