Modern-Day Dream Matches 💭

Most Likely Backlash Heel/Face Turns 🎭
| Tye Dillinger | Winner | The Perfect 10 earned a huge pop as he sought revenge against Bobby Roode and booked a trip to TakeOver: Toronto. |
| Drew Gulak and Tony Nese | Losers | The cruiserweights have been impressive in their numerous appearances but have been unable to gain any momentum. |
| Nikki Cross | Winner | Cross embodied the chaos that will follow SAnity through NXT, sacrificing wins for the pain and suffering of poor Danielle Kamela. |
| No Way Jose and Rich Swann | Winners | They may not have a realistic shot at winning the Dusty Classic, but these two make for the most fun team in the field. |
Biggest Winner: Roderick Strong
The man once known as "Mr. ROH" left the Ring of Honor promotion earlier this year and, after months of speculation, finally appeared on Wednesday's NXT as the mystery partner of Austin Aries.
Together, the two in-ring competitors had captured championship gold together in the celebrated independent promotion, so it was only natural that they would rejoin forces in an attempt to dominate the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
With chants of "Roddy" pouring from the stands, Strong partnered with Aries to overcome the larger team of Tucker Knight and Otis Bogojevic in impressive fashion.
Crisp, fast and hard-hitting, Strong looked as motivated as he has in years and ready to introduce his spine-breaking talents to the NXT Universe. Whether he does so as a friend or enemy of Aries by the tournament's conclusion is the question.
For now, the potential bouts pitting The Master of the Backbreaker and The Greatest Man That Ever Lived against The Revival or Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano are something fans of the brand can hold on to like a stuffed teddy bear on Christmas morning.
Biggest Loser: Patrick Clark
There are some who will argue that Clark received tremendous rub by interjecting in the Shinsuke Nakamura-Samoa Joe segment that ended the show, but in reality, his appearance did more to hurt him than help.
Clark was a tackling dummy for Nakamura. Literally any other star on the roster, including perennial jobber Angelo Dawkins, could have been used in that role without damaging his credibility. Should WWE Creative have any inclination to push the former Tough Enough competitor as a legitimate star going forward, it must now erase the perception that he is a joke, existing only to infuriate guys like Nakamura and then take brutal beatings from them.
Having struggled to find his identity, it looks as though the young star has finally found a character for himself. Now it is up to management to protect it.
