Timothy Thatcher's WWE booking has been quite inconsistent so far. Since defeating Matt Riddle in the first-ever Fight Pit, he has lost most of his momentum. However, things are looking up once again for Thatcher now that he has racked up sufficient momentum, courtesy of a hard-fought victory in the Fight Pit.

After feuding for several weeks, Thatcher and Tommaso Ciampa decided to settle their differences inside the pit. Not only was the hype surrounding the fight unreal but the match itself was a violent clash of styles.

In the end, the submission specialist tapped out the former WWE NXT Champion. In just one night, Timothy Thatcher reminded the fans why he is the best at what he does.

Following their collosal encounter, Thatcher and Ciampa agreed to put their differences aside and compete in the ongoing Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Fans can't wait to see how the company books this unlikely team going forward. Here's hoping that the catch wrestling specialist continues to look credible until the return of the Fight Pit.
