Tag Team Bout Added To Tuesday's WWE NXT
Three matches in all are now official
May 2, 2021
A match with Tag Team championship implications has been added to Tuesday night's episode of NXT.
After a confrontation on last week's broadcast, Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher will take on James Drake and Zack Gibson of Grizzled Young Veterans on Tuesday night.
The two teams got into a row last week, as each vied for a chance to challenge reigning NXT Tag team champions MSK.
Ciampa is a former Tag Team champion in his own right, holding the belts for ten weeks in 2016-17 with DIY partner Johnny Gargano. Though never an official champion himself, Thatcher defended Pete Dunne's belt when he and Riddle dropped the titles to Imperium close to a year ago.
The Veterans lost to MSK in the three way match on April 7 to crown new champions.
The card for Tuesday night's NXT includes the following:
* NXT Women's Tag/Street Fight: Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon (c) vs. Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell
* Falls Count Anywhere: Isaiah "Swerve" Scott vs. Leon Ruff
* Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher vs. Grizzled Young Veterans
* Plus, the return of Finn Balor
