After a thrilling 2024 edition of WWE NXT’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, it was the relatively new team of Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker standing tall at the very end. The two superstars earned a Title shot at the NXT Tag Team Champions Tony D’Angelo and Stacks, and that battle took place during tonight’s NXT. D’Angelo and Stacks are a well-oiled machine these days, and they came close to victory several times. Unfortunately for them, Corbin and Breakker’s genuine hunger for Title gold was too much to overcome, so while The Family fought valiantly, Corbin and Breakker would take them down just long enough to walk away as the new NXT Tag Team Champions.
