As we reported last night here on eWn, WWE NXT Superstars Tommaso Ciampa and Pete Dunne were backstage at the SmackDown TV tapings.
Prior to the show going live, Ciampa and Dunne faced off in another dark match.
Additionally, another dark match between Seth Rollins and The Viking Raiders defeating Roman Reigns and The Usos took place following the show.
It should be noted that WWE is still internally listing Ciampa and Dunne as part of the NXT roster.
