This former WWE star under Triple H’s creative regime shocked fans on this past week’s Collision episode.

Tommaso Ciampa, who left WWE to join AEW earlier this year, was in a match against Daniel Garcia on Collision this past week.

Mark Briscoe sat at the commentary desk reacting to the bout, and Ciampa was distracted by his presence throughout. Ciampa later lost the bout when Briscoe unintentionally distracted Ciampa, and Garcia took advantage.

Things heated up as Ciampa confronted Briscoe at ringside, and as Bricoe looked to diffuse the situation, FTR (Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler) made their way to the ring to confront Ciampa.

Briscoe came in between them to keep the situation from excalating and he and Ciampa walked towards the titantron, but then out of nowhere, Ciampa attacked an unsuspecting Briscoe by throwing him onto the video screen and attacking him with a running knee strike.

This attack on Briscoe marked a heel turn for Ciampa.

It could also be signalling a new alignment for Ciampa with FTR.

Here’s how it went down, as posted by AEW’s official X account.
