Hank & Tank Reach Semifinals of 2026 Dusty Rhodes Classic

Hank and Tank advanced to the semifinals of the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Classic after defeating the Creeds during WWE NXT.

The match saw Hank and Tank initially isolating Brutus Creed, but the momentum shifted when Brutus tagged in his brother Julius. The two teams exchanged control until Hank Walker mounted a comeback, taking down Julius and Brutus. In a chaotic finish, Hank and Tank managed to pin Julius while the referee was distracted.

With this victory, Hank and Tank will face the AAA Tag Team Champions, El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno, who won their earlier match against Charlie Dempsey and Lexis King. Meanwhile, NXT Tag Team Champions Chad Baylor and Ricky Smokes are set to compete against Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno on the other side of the bracket.
