WWE tag team makes surprise NXT appearance
A decorated tag team made a surprise return to NXT on Tuesday’s episode.
DIY’s Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa appeared on Tuesday’s show to confront TNA Champion Trick Williams in a segment where Williams declared himself the greatest NXT star of all time. The segment concluded with Gargano and Ciampa laying Williams out with their tag team finisher.
DIY took exception to that claim and have the accolades to back it up, with both Gargano and Ciampa holding the NXT Championship, plus the NXT Tag Team Championship in their time on the brand. Gargano also held the North American title in NXT, plus the duo has gone on to claim the WWE Tag Team titles on the main roster on two occasions.
The appearance sets up a tag team bout for next week where Williams and a partner will take on DIY. Although not yet officially announced, Williams hinted at the bout for next week in a segment also uploaded to WWE’s digital media channels:
