Former rivals Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher will join forces in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
This week on WWE NXT, Karrion Kross injured Ashonte Adonis, who was scheduled to participate in the tournament alongside Desmond Troy. Adonis’ injury caused a vacancy in the tournament.
Ciampa teased his partnership with Thatcher, as “The Blackheart” told him about the opening. NXT general manager William Regal has confirmed that the two stars will team up in the tournament.
Well, @NXTCiampa is partially correct. There WAS an opening for the #DustyClassic, but it seems you two have just filled that vacancy… good luck gentlemen. #WWENXT https://t.co/Y68idUyWQL

Thatcher defeated Ciampa in the Fight Pit on WWE NXT this week. The two enemies also clashed at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, where Ciampa earned a hard-fought win.
