At last night’s NXT event in Jacksonville, The Vaudevillians defeated Blake and Murphy in a first round contest in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
We now know which teams will face each other to advance. These matches could take place at the September 10th NXT TV tapings from Full Sail University. WWE could also space out the matches and use them at live events, similar to what they have done recently. The winner of Bracket A will face the winner of Bracket B, while the winner of Bracket C faces the winner of Bracket D.
Those two winning teams will then face off at the October 7th NXT Takeover event from Full Sail University to determine a tournament winner.
