D-Von Dudley’s sons, Flip Gordon, and more notable names added to NWA Crockett Cup tag team tournament

The NWA has been trickling out contenders for the Crockett Cup tag team tournament (June 3 & June 4), and the latest round of additions takes us to 20 of the 24 squads competing for the trophy prize. There are a lot of interesting names this time around, including the sons of D-Von Dudley, Flip Gordon, a number of former champions, and more.

First on this list is T.N.T.

NWA

Terrell Hughes and Terrence Hughes make up the T.N.T. tag team. They come from the Dudley family loins as sons of D-Von, whose real name is Devon Hughes. TN.T. has had success on the indies winning tag titles in Atomic Wrestling Entertainment, Conquer Pro Wrestling, Destiny Christian Championship Wrestling, and United States Wrestling Alliance. They have also wrestled in AEW on Elevation and Dark over the past few years. T.N.T. never earned a win in AEW, so an impressive showing in the Crockett Cup would be the breakout moment of their careers to date.

Flip Gordon is back in the limelight partnering with Fodder for the Crockett Cup. This might seem like an odd pairing, but they have history controlling their narratives together in CYN.

NWA

Other freshly announced teams are Thom Latimer & Rhett Titus, Yabo The Clown & Ruffo The Clown, The Heatseekers, The Fixers, Kratos & Odinson, and Cyon & Jordan Clearwater.
