By Marc Middleton

The finals of the WWE NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic were set to be held on tonight's episode but NXT Tag Team Champions The Undisputed Era interfered. NXT General Manager William Regal then announced The Authors of Pain vs. Roderick Strong & WWE UK Champion Pete Dunne vs. The Undisputed Era for "Takeover: New Orleans" on Saturday night with the winners being crowned Dusty Classic winners and the NXT Tag Team Champions.

Regal also offered 2 options for The Undisputed Era due to Bobby Fish's injury – Kyle O'Reilly can work the match alone or Adam Cole can replace Fish. Regal noted that Cole can forfeit his spot in the Ladder Match to crown the first-ever NXT North American Champion or he can work double duty.
