The Authors of Pain are looking to repeat as winners of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, but they will face as tough a challenge as they’ve seen in either tournament when they run up against The Street Profits tonight in a semifinal showdown.

Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins are unlikely to be intimidated by Akam & Rezar’s size or strength advantage, nor will they cower to The Authors’ experience edge. Will The Street Profits be able to be the first team to eliminate AOP in a Dusty Classic showdown? Or, will Paul Ellering’s instruments of destruction advance to the final round for the second consecutive tournament and move one step closer to an NXT Tag Team Championship opportunity at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans?
