How many Fight Pit matches have taken place under Triple H's creative control?
NXT has been the brainchild of Triple H, creating several memorable stories and matches over the years. Last year, the brand was rebooted to carter towards homegrown talent rather than independent and international stars who were being signed to the brand.
In 2020, Matt Riddle and Pete Dunne were the NXT Tag Team Champions. However, Dunne got stuck in the UK, which led to Riddle teaming up with Timothy Thatcher. Later, Thatcher turned on Riddle and the two settled their feud in the first ever Fight Pit match.
Kurt Angle was the special guest referee for the match and both superstars put everything on the line. However, Thatcher ended up winning as Riddle made his final appearance before moving to the blue brand.
Last year, Thatcher feuded with Tommaso Ciampa. During their feud, Thatcher issued a Fight Pit match to settle their differences. In the end, Thatcher once again came out victorious. The two became a tag team for some time before Thatcher eventually departed with the company.
