Tommaso Ciampa officially made his AEW Dynamite debut tonight following the expiration of his WWE contract. Reports earlier this month confirmed that Ciampa chose not to renew his deal with WWE, and his removal from WWE’s roster page last night confirmed his departure. However, he wasted no time in landing a spot with AEW.
During tonight’s AEW Dynamite, TNT Champion Mark Briscoe successfully defended his title against El Kron. After the match, Briscoe issued an open challenge for his championship on Saturday’s AEW Collision event in Arlington, Texas, with the condition that the challenger is not affiliated with the Don Callis group.
Shortly after, the arena went dark, and Tommaso Ciampa made a dramatic entrance, answering Briscoe’s challenge and marking his first appearance in AEW. Ciampa boldly accepted the title shot, setting the stage for an exciting showdown.
Fan Take:
Ciampa’s move to AEW is a significant boost to the promotion’s roster, bringing in a fresh and highly skilled competitor with a strong fanbase. This debut not only intensifies the TNT Championship scene but also signals potential new rivalries that could elevate AEW’s storytelling and in-ring action to new heights.
