Hank & Tank advance to Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic semifinals

Hank Walker and Tank Ledger secured a spot in the semifinals of the 2026 Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic following a victory over the Creed Brothers during the latest episode of WWE NXT.

The match featured alternating momentum, with Hank & Tank initially controlling the ring before Julius and Brutus Creed mounted a comeback. The contest concluded when Hank Walker executed a rally that sent Julius to the floor and Brutus to the outside. Following a failed attempt to stop Brutus from interfering, Hank & Tank capitalized on the distraction to pin Julius.

In the semifinals, Hank & Tank are scheduled to face AAA Tag Team Champions El Hijo de Dr. Wagner Jr. and Galeno, who defeated Charlie Dempsey and Lexis King. The other semifinal matchup will feature NXT Tag Team Champions Chad Baylor and Ricky Smokes against Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno.
