NXT Names For Eddie Edwards And Davey Richards, Rumors On Future Plans

Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards were announced as “The American Pitbulls” at last night’s NXT tapings but each had new individual names. They were introduced as John Cahill (Davey Richards) and Eric Philbin (Eddie Edwards). You can watch a video of their entrance below.

Rob Feinstein of RF Video wrote a post on Facebook last night stating that WWE plans to keep Eddie Edwards and Davey Richards as a tag team and after a few months in NXT, officials would bring them to SmackDown as a tag team to see if they get over. Feinstein also noted that William Regal and Joey Styles had to push Triple H to give them another tryout.
