NXT looks to be following the same model they used with this year’s men’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic when it come to doling out information about the first ever women’s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

The men earn a NXT Tag title shot. Will the ladies get to challenge for the WWE Women’s Tag belts?
