Update on the WWE status of Tommaso Ciampa & Pete Dunne

Tommaso Ciampa and former NXT UK Champion Pete Dunne are still listed as members of the developmental brand within WWE. Their future within the company has been the subject of speculation since the show was rebranded to NXT 2.0.

Prior to the news posted by PWInsider, there have been questions regarding the pair's future due to so many of their peers from the previous era parting ways with the company. Ciampa and Dunne have been a part of the former black and gold brand since 2015 and 2017 respectively.

Rumors of main roster call-ups for both men recently circulated, after the pair worked a dark match against each other before the latest episode of SmackDown.

Dunne and Ciampa also wrestled individual matches on a recent taping of Main Event. The former went up against Akira Tozawa while the latter had a matchup with T-Bar.
