There is one thing Tommaso Ciampa will never give up until he retires

Tommaso Ciampa is one of the icons of NXT. His remarkable in-ring skill and renowned character work have helped him become one of the brand's top stars. Having spent close to six years with WWE, there is practically nothing about Ciampa the fans would change.

One of his more recognizable features is his haphazard facial hair, which has grown just as much as he has during his time with the company.

Despite how memorable his beard is, Tommaso Ciampa has revealed that he wants to shave it off. Luckily for the WWE Universe, his wife won't let him, and the former NXT Champion confirmed that he will only get rid of it once he retires.

Speaking to Rick Ucchino of Sportskeeda Wrestling, Tommaso Ciampa went into detail as to why he wants to shave his beard, but how losing it would make him less intimidating.

"I'd have to get permission from my wife," said Ciampa. "I'm so sick of it! Especially in the Florida summers...ugh...but she likes it, she thinks I need it, and she's probably right. I don't think I look nearly as intimidating without it. So it's probably staying until I'm no longer doing this as a full-timer." said Tommaso Ciampa

While unimaginable, it would be refreshing to see a beardless Tommaso Ciampa beat up his opponents in the ring.
