After Tucker Knight was ambushed by unidentified attackers in the WWE Performance Center weight room earlier today, leaving Otis Dozovic without a partner for Heavy Machinery’s scheduled match against The Mighty, much of the NXT Universe fingered Shane Thorne & Nick Miller as the likely culprits. (Thorne & Miller were, after all, seen hightailing away from the scene.)

Whether or not The Mighty were to blame, Dozovic sure acted like they were. Screaming that nobody messes with his brother, the steaks-and-weights-loving big man steamrolled Thorne & Miller with clotheslines, elbow drops and a double suplex during the 2-on-1 Handicap Match. He withstood The Mighty’s double-team offense, too, though the numbers disadvantage eventually caught up to him. 

A late-game Vader Bomb missed the mark when Miller pulled Thorne out of Dozovic’s path. Miller then shoved Otis into a northern lariat by Thorne, putting the Heavy Machinery member down for the count. 

Even though they enjoyed a clear advantage in the 2-on-1 setting, that didn’t stop The Mighty from celebrating like it was the biggest triumph of their careers.
