5 things WWE NXT got right this week - Edge appears; Karrion Kross threatens former WWE Champion

#1 Timothy Thatcher and Tommaso Ciampa take The Undisputed ERA out on WWE NXT

This team figured it out real quick.I give Thatcher a lot of credit. His mindset never changes regardless of situation. He’s also smart enough to stay out of the #WWENXT parking lot. https://t.co/UHV3lWon2C

Four of WWE NXT’s biggest forces decided to dance in the main event on Wednesday. The Undisputed ERA was looking to pick up a victory over Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher, but things are never as easy as they sound.

Ciampa and Thatcher’s new-found respect for each other helped them work really well once again. Thatcher proved to be the shining star in the contest as he worked extremely well with the three NXT veterans in the ring.

Several submission holds allowed both teams to trade control. Roderick Strong and Thatcher had some good exchanges to show the fans that they could put on a five-star match against each other at some point in their career.

After both teams came close to winning several times, The Blackheart spiked Strong with a DDT to pick up the victory for their team. While Ciampa and Thatcher are two of the biggest names in NXT today, this was still a big upset as The Undisputed ERA looked like the favorites to win the Dusty Rhodes Classic.

NXT seems to be building this partnership, much as they did with Riddle and Pete Dunne last year, and fans can expect a big final between two top teams at NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day.
