Cruz Montana vs Dion Lennox
Cruz Montana will look to settle the score with Dion Lennox after their rivalry escalated on the October 13 episode of NXT. Lennox attacked Montana backstage, took his phone, and made a threatening call to Montana’s mother, promising to send him back to a dark period in his life.
The personal nature of the confrontation adds an extra layer to this singles match. Montana will have an opportunity to answer Lennox inside the ring, while Lennox will look to back up his threats with another victory. Their clash could also have implications for the wider NXT roster as tensions continue to rise.
The Vanity Project, E.K. Prosper, Mini Vikingo and Chazz Hall in six-man tag team action
The Vanity Project will compete in a six-man tag team match alongside the ongoing Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic tournament action. Jackson Drake, Ricky Smokes and Brad Baylor will face E.K. Prosper, Mini Vikingo and Chazz “Starboy” Hall.
The match brings together competitors who have been involved in the tournament picture, giving both sides a chance to build momentum. The Vanity Project’s combination of teamwork and experience will be important, but Prosper, Mini Vikingo and Hall will look to disrupt their opponents’ rhythm and secure a statement win.
The contest also gives Mini Vikingo and Hall another opportunity to show what they can do after their previous tournament outing against the NXT Tag Team Champions.
The Wagner Brothers vs BirthRight – Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic
The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic continues with The Wagner Brothers taking on BirthRight in a tournament match. Galeno and El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. will represent the Wagner Brothers, while Lexis King and Charlie Dempsey will compete for BirthRight.
With a place in the next round at stake, both teams will need to combine individual ability with effective tag-team coordination. The Wagner Brothers bring their established partnership into the contest, while King and Dempsey will look to use their chemistry and tactical approach to progress.
A victory would move the winning team closer to the Dusty Cup and provide valuable momentum as NXT approaches Halloween Havoc.
The Creed Brothers vs Hank and Tank – Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic
The Creed Brothers will face Hank and Tank in another Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic match. Julius Creed and Brutus Creed are former winners of the tournament and will be aiming to make another deep run.
Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, meanwhile, will look to overcome the experienced duo and establish themselves as serious contenders. The Creed Brothers’ strength and explosive offence could give them an advantage, but Hank and Tank’s teamwork could make this a difficult test.
With the tournament continuing to narrow the field, neither team can afford a mistake. The result will determine which duo advances and keeps its hopes of winning the Dusty Cup alive.
