The Chadster wants to get an early start on promoting next week's WWE NXT in hopes it will finally defeat AEW Dynamite in the ratings and The Chadster can stop living the life of a broken man. One development coming out of last night's episode of NXT is we now know some of the teams that will compete in the Women's Dusty Rhodes Classic. Four teams were named on the show last night:

: Candice LeRea will team with Indi Hartwell in the NXT Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic

: Mercedes Martinez will team with Toni Storm in the NXT Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic

: Shotzi Blackheart will team with Ember Moon in the NXT Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic

: Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter will compete in the NXT Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic

Though all teams have not yet been revealed, there's already one match in the Women's tournament set to air on next week's episode of NXT. In addition, there's also two more matches for the men's tournament and a second try at the Fight Pit match between Timothy Thatcher and Tommaso Ciampa after the first try was pushed back due to injury, giving AEW Dynamite an unfair advantage in the ratings.

: Kacy Catanzato and Kayden Carter will face Toni Storm and Mercedes Martinez in the first round of the Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic

: In two more matches in the first round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, Lucha House Party will face Imperium and KUSHIDA and Leon Ruff will take on Johnny Gargano and Austin Theory

: After an injury prevented this match from taking place at New Years Evil, Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher will meet in the Fight Pit next week
