Rashid Gedel, 25, who was referred to as Rico Gedel during the hearing, and Samuel Dodsworth, 43, are charged with murder over the alleged attack on Saturday morning.
Emergency services were sent to the prison in West Yorkshire but disgraced singer Watkins, 48, who was serving a 29-year sentence for child sex offences, was pronounced dead at the scene.
Yesterday, both men were due to make their first appearance before a Crown Court judge.
Dodsworth appeared via video link from HMP Wakefield, but Leeds Crown Court heard Gedel had refused to attend remotely.
