Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage of WWE NXT on September 22, 2026, broadcasting live from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida! Following the recent announcement by NXT General Manager Robert Stone about NXT’s return, the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is officially underway tonight. While the full match card remains undisclosed at this time, the tournament features a host of competitors including Vanity Project, DarkState’s Osiris Griffin and Cutler James, Los Americanos, Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno, Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux, The Creed Brothers, AAA stars El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno del Mal, the AAA faction Tokyo Bad Boys, Mini Vikingo alongside Chazz “Starboy” Hall, Nathan Frazer and Axiom, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, Jax Presley and Harley Riggins, Shido Ash and Viktor Zanov, as well as the BirthRight duo of Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Uriah Connors.
In recent developments, AAA Reina de Reinas Champion La Catalina, Women’s North American Champion Zaria, and Thea Hail confronted NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan last Tuesday, each staking their claim on Jordan’s title. The confrontation escalated into a heated brawl where Catalina and Hail teamed up against Jordan and Zaria. This feud will continue tonight in a tag team match featuring Jordan and Zaria versus Catalina and Hail.
Additionally, Sean Legacy and Dorian Van Dux are set to join forces with Zilla Fatu as they face off against BirthRight’s Lexis King, Uriah Connors, and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo. After BirthRight’s repeated unsuccessful attempts to recruit Zilla, tension peaked last week when they attacked Legacy and Van Dux after their match with DarkState, prompting Zilla to intervene and come to their defense.
We are now live with commentators Vic Joseph and Booker T welcoming viewers as Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno make their entrance, followed by Los Americanos.
Los Americanos vs. Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno — First Round Match for the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic
Noam Dar and Bravo Americano start the bout. The bell rings and the two immediately lock up. Moreno quickly tags in, but Bravo counters with an Atomic Drop and fires off several hard right hands. After leveling Moreno with another right, he tags in his partner Rayo. Bravo catapults Moreno into Rayo, who then delivers a right hand from the ring apron before Dar tags himself back in. Dar attempts a Triangle choke on Rayo, but Bravo breaks the hold by slamming Moreno’s body into both opponents.
Bravo then takes a daring move, flying over the top rope to knock down Dar and Moreno on the outside. Rayo follows by tossing Dar back into the ring and stomping on his hand during the commercial break. Moreno tags back in, only for Rayo to replace his partner and land a double stomp from the middle rope onto Moreno. Bravo returns to the ring, but Moreno fights back with a powerful powerbomb off the ropes, sending Bravo crashing down.
