Tommaso Ciampa and Timothy Thatcher share more dislike for each other than perhaps anyone else in NXT. At NXT New Year’s Evil, they will take their animosity to one of the most barbaric structures in sports-entertainment: the NXT Fight Pit.

In a conflict that originated with Ciampa’s disdain for how Thatcher bullied his students, the dissension has become increasingly deep-rooted. Though The Blackheart defeated Thatcher at NXT TakeOver: WarGames, the issue was far from over.

Ciampa defeated former Thatcher student Tyler Rust, and then the following week halted Thatcher’s ruthless post-match beatdown of Leon Ruff, spiking him with the Willow’s Bell DDT.

Then Ciampa issued the boldest of challenges, saying he’d see Thatcher inside the NXT Fight Pit.

Like Thatcher, Ciampa is certainly one of the black-and-gold brand’s hardest hitters, so the savage structure is fitting. But with Thatcher having won the only previous NXT Fight Pit, will The Blackheart be able to prevail?

Don’t miss the return of the NXT Fight Pit at NXT New Year’s Evil on Wednesday, Jan. 6, at 8/7 C on USA Network!
