Tommaso Ciampa has had an interesting WWE career. He has fought from various injuries, including an ACL in 2017 and neck surgery in 2019. The latter injury gives the Blackheart a significant connection to the Rated R Superstar.
During Ciampa's documentary on the WWE Network, there was a moment shown with the Ultimate Opportunist, and Tommaso Ciampa spoke about neck surgeries. Both men had to push themselves to return from these career-threatening injuries.
Tommaso Ciampa is coming off his loss of the NXT Championship to Bron Breakker. Despite aligning with his former rival to set up a tag team showdown with Legado Del Fantasma, there are new options to explore in his career on the main roster.
A dream match with the former WWE Champion may give Ciampa a real chance for superstardom, whether win or lose.
