According to a report from Fightful, The Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake & Zack Gibson) have been impressing officials in WWE NXT and that’s the reason they made it to the finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic two years in a row.
The two men were originally supposed to win last year’s Dusty Rhodes Classic. WWE plans changed when Pete Dunne and Matt Riddle starting getting over and became popular among fans.
