Debuting NXT Superstar revealed as Matt Riddle's new partner

In what was one of the biggest swerves in recent memory, Matt Riddle got to know who his new tag team partner would be. And it is none other than NXT's latest recruit, Timothy Thatcher.

Because of the prevailing conditions, Pete Dunne was unable to travel to the US and defend the NXT Tag Team titles with The Original Bro. It was revealed that Riddle would be defending the championships against The Undisputed Era's Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong.

The Stallion did not know till the last moment who his partner will be, and it was Dunne who revealed his new partner.
