Timothy Thatcher is a relatively new addition to the NXT roster, making his first appearance on the Black and Gold Brand in April of this year. He replaced Pete Dunne as Matt Riddle's tag team partner while The Bruiserweight was on a break from NXT due to travel restrictions.

Despite only being on WWE TV for a few months, Thatcher has already caught the attention of fans. Thatcher caused The Broserweights to lose their NXT Tag Team Championship after he purposely left Matt Riddle mid-match. The star was also involved in Riddle's final match on NXT before his move to SmackDown.

Thatcher was also recently involved in a feud with Finn Balor in the build-up to NXT TakeOver: XXX, which ended in an intense battle between the pair at the pay-per-view event. The match between the two was highly praised by fans. There could be a possibility that Thatcher could appear in the match to re-ignite this rivalry.

If Timothy Thatcher was to be one of the names involved in the match, it would help to establish him as one of the biggest stars of NXT, and deservedly so.
