This week, WWE announced the first six teams in the 12-man single-elimination tournament, The Dusty Rhodes Tag-Team Classic, which will be the second annual installment of the new yearly WWE tradition.

The first six pairings that will be featured in the tournament, which concludes with the live finals at the NXT TakeOver: Toronto event on November 19th.

Itami and Ibushi as a team... awesome. Roode and Dillinger should be fun to watch working together as well.

Roode and Dillinger are called... sigh... Glorious Perfection. Gargano & Ciampa are called DIY.

Itami and Ibushi is a hell of a team, look forward to seeing them do good things.

Awesome. I love Roodes theme song, it's so epic. Probably my favourite in WWE right now. So the name suits the team.

I love the theme song too... but it's such an obvious name.

And I'm not crazy about Tye.

DUDE that is blasphemy! Tye is the fucking man. He can work a live crowd so well it's not even fair. Crisp style and WWE homegrown which is always a plus.

WWE have now given all participants, and they even get graphics PPV style - which I've added to the first post since they're all now available.

Only one person hasn't been announced, and that's Aries partner. If the following it true, then it's going to be pretty awesome.

As noted over the weekend, WWE announced Austin Aries and a "mystery partner" as the final tag-team in the 12-team Dusty Rhodes Tag-Team Classic tournament, which kicks off this Wednesday on NXT TV on the WWE Network.

According to PWInsider.com, former Ring Of Honor (ROH) star Roderick Strong is expected to be Aries' partner in the tourney.

Strong has been rumored to be making his debut with WWE at some point in the near future, and considering his past with Aries, who together are former ROH Tag-Team Champions, the pairing makes sense.

The 2016 Dusty Rhodes Tag-Team Classic tournament wraps up with the live finals at the NXT TakeOver: Toronto event on November 19th.

There are now 16 teams in the tournament, after initially announcing that it would be made up of just 12 teams.

Sanity are still a mystery with no one online seemingly knowing who they are. Makes a change really.
