\\n\\n

Earlier in the day, WWE announced we\\u2019d see the debut of a new team - called MSK. It turned out to be the team formerly known as The Rascalz - Dezmond Xavier & Zachary Wentz now known as Wes Lee & Nash Carter. They advanced with a win over Isaiah "Swerve" Scott & Jake Atlas.

\\n\\n

The Grizzled Young Veterans beat Ever-Rise...and Adam Cole & Roderick Strong got past Breezango. But they needed a little backup to do it. During the match, Pete Dunne, Oney Lorcan and Danny Burch attacked Kyle O\\u2019Reilly at ringside. That drew out NXT Champion Finn Balor returning the favor to the Undisputed Era, who saved him from Dunne, Lorcan and Burch earlier in the show.

\\n\\n

The first-ever WOMEN\\u2019S Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic will not wait until the men\\u2019s edition is complete. That tournament will begin on NEXT week\\u2019s NXT - with Kacy Catanzaro & Kayden Carter vs. Toni Storm & Mercedes Martinez.

Darby Allin is still the TNT Champion. He survived an offensive onslaught from Brian Cage, then got a late assist from Sting when Team Taz got involved.

\\n\\n

For a few moments, it looked like Kenny Omega and the Young Bucks would team up for a 6-man tag. But Karl Anderson and Doc Gallows snuck in to take the Bucks\\u2019 spots. Omega and the Good Brothers beat the Varsity Blondes and Danny Limelight.

\\n\\n

After the match, Jon Moxley tried to beat the odds. When he was overwhelmed, Rey Fenix and Penta El Zero M came to the rescue. When Mox got Omega back in his sights, the Young Bucks came out to stop him...but Fenix and Penta surprised the Bucks with a pair of superkicks.

\\n\\n

The show opened with Pac beating Eddie Kingston.
