Tommaso Ciampa vs. Austin Theory, Finn Balor Appearance Set For 2/26 NXT
Tommaso Ciampa and Austin Theory are set to face off next week on NXT.
The announcement of their match on February 26 was made towards the end of the show after the two got into a physical altercation earlier in the show. Theory, the former EVOLVE Champion who signed with WWE and reported to the Performance Center some time ago, arrived to the ring ready for action but Ciampa then entered the ring with mic in hand to talk about Johnny Gargano.
As Ciampa was talking about Gargano, who cost him the chance to become the NXT Champion at NXT TakeOver: Portland, Theory tried to interrupt Ciampa. An irate Ciampa then beat up Theory all throughout ringside.
Also announced for next week on NXT is an appearance from Finn Balor, fresh off a victory over Gargano at TakeOver: Portland.
