Cody Rhodes isn’t the only main roster wrestler heading to tonight’s Battleground fallout episode of WWE NXT.

On Monday night, WWE uploaded a video with Pete Dunne & Tyler Bate announcing that they’ll be in action on NXT this week. It will be Dunne, Bate & Wes Lee vs. Gallus (Joe Coffey, Mark Coffey & Wolfgang). Dunne & Bate are providing backup for Lee after he was laid out by Gallus in a three-on-one backstage attack at Battleground.

“Gallus, looks like you’re up to your old tricks,” Bate said in a promo. “Now, I’ve been in Wes Lee’s position before, and Wes is my mate. And I’m not going to stand there and watch my mate get bullied.”

Dunne added: “Gallus boys on top? On top of what? Because I know it’s not British wrestling because we’ve been on top for time. And we’ve been waiting for you lads to prove it. We waited in NXT UK. We waited in NXT. We’ve been waiting on Raw and SmackDown. And you still haven’t proved it. So tomorrow lads, prove it. Gallus boys on top? Shut up.”

At Battleground, Oba Femi defeated Lee and Joe Coffey in a triple threat match to retain the NXT North American Championship. Gallus’ attack on Lee happened later in the night.

Rhodes appearing on NXT tonight was confirmed after he sent out a tweet during Battleground teasing that he would be on the episode. The updated lineup for the show is listed below:
