And shockingly enough, none of the teams are thrown together! All of them make sense as tag team partners!
I feel like with them moving in a new young direction, it'll probably be either the Creed Brothers (which I would be fine with) or Briggs and Jensen (who are my least favorite team in this tournament by a wide margin) winning it.
I imagine the women's tournament won't fare as well when their teams are announced. I expect a lot of thrown together teams.

Am I the only person who thinks it's beyond petty that a company that doesn't give 2 f***s about tag wrestling has a tournament named after a man who's son both work for their competition?

Cody's already said several times he has no problem at all with them doing this tournament, and encourages it. |

I still can't believe they had Malik and Edris get in the tournament by getting their asses kicked.

For all we know it could very well end up being just a 4-team tournament. |

So why bother with the Dusty when the WWE doesn't give a shit about tag teams?
Also a women's Dusty would absolutely be two rounds and might as well just be for the tag titles.

A) It's an easy way to fill time on NXT B) It's an even easier way to determine the #1 contenders. Also the Women's Dusty while it probably won't have as many teams, I imagine they'll use it to put the light on a bunch of women in general. I mean with Kay Lee Ray being in the NXT Women's title scene now (or very likely getting the next shot), that means assuming people like Raquel and Io aren't being called up, they need something to do in the meantime, and the Dusty Cup is a good way to do it. I'm also of the opinion that Toxic Attraction should probably lose those tag titles to whoever wins the women's tournament. They've won a whopping one normal tag match since forming, and are the least credible champs in the history of that belt. |

I don't know why they even bother when they've pretty much never treated it like it matters. Whole thing should've been killed off the time they had it won by a team that wasn't even in the tournament.

What's the over under on the total time of the women's tournament being more than 15 minutes?

I mean it existed before they went to AEW. Like let's say Pat Patterson had sons who worked for AEW. Should WWE discontinue the Royal Rumble? Granted that's a larger scale, but the same logic applies. Let's not make a mountain out of a molehill. |

My main problem with the Dusty tournament is NXT always treats it as like 3 months of filler time. Maybe 2.0 will handle it differently, like by having a lot of sexual tension between the men's teams and the women's teams.
Yeah, it's like that.™

Someone would call them petty no matter what they do. It’d have just as much basis if they stopped doing the Dusty tournaments or renamed them because of his sons being in AEW. |

I am more interested in the women's bracket. I can't wait for the unorthodox tandem of Ivy Nile and Tiffany Stratton. I hope we get to see Valentina Feroz and Yulisa Leon in the tourney.
