Tommaso Ciampa, Pete Dunne appearing on WWE Main Event
The following contains spoilers for this week’s WWE Main Event.
This week’s edition of WWE Main Event will see a pair of NXT stars in action in former NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa and Pete Dunne.
Ciampa defeated T-Bar while Dunne picked up a win over Akira Tozawa in matches taped prior to WWE Raw Monday at the Wells Fargo Arena in Philadelphia, PA.
Prior to last Friday’s SmackDown, the 36-year-old Ciampa and 28-year-old Dunne wrestled against each other in a dark match.
Both have appeared on the main roster before, mainly on house shows. This is the first Main Event appearance for either man.
On WWE NXT, Ciampa is coming off a title loss to Bron Breakker at last Tuesday’s New Year’s Evil while Dunne’s last outing was a mid-December win over Tony D’Angelo.
It’s unknown whether there is interest in moving Ciampa or Dunne up to the main roster.
