Mini Vikingo and Chaz “Starboy” Hall advanced to the next round of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, defeating BirthRight on Wednesday’s WWE NXT broadcast. The duo faced Stacks Lorenzo and Uriah Connors in a first‑round tournament match.
The contest was a back‑and‑forth showdown, with BirthRight relying on raw power while Mini Vikingo and Starboy Hall showcased speed and agility. The decisive moment came when Hall sent Connors crashing to the outside, followed by Vikingo’s twisting dive. Hall then executed a DDT on Stacks, and Vikingo completed a 450° rotation for the pinfall victory.
Post‑match, BirthRight targeted the victors, prompting Zilla Fatu’s intervention. He cleared the ring of most stable members and delivered a Samoan Drop and his signature Triple Z to Stacks, securing the cleanup.
