Tommaso Ciampa Breaks Silence After Shocking AEW Heel Turn
Tommaso Ciampa has come out with a video after his actions on AEW Collision.
Tommaso Ciampa, who left WWE to join AEW this year, won the TNT Championship on his debut match and lost it a few weeks later.
This past week on Collision, he lost a bout to Daniel Garcia after he was distracted by Mark Briscoe’s presence at ringside.
Briscoe’s distraction was unintentional, and when things heated up after the match between the pair, Briscoe tried to diffuse the situation.
FTR (Cash Wheeler and Dax Harwood) made their way to the ring to confront Ciampa, and once again, Briscoe came between them to negate a possible conflict.
Ciampa and Briscoe walked away, and just as it appeared that it was all fine between them, Ciampa attacked Briscoe by throwing him against the video screen and executing a running knee strike.
This signalled a heel turn for Ciampa, and he has now explained his actions on X.
Tommaso Ciampa Explains His Attack Via A Video On X
Mark Briscoe was in commentary for Tommaso Ciampa’s match against Daniel Garcia.
In the intense video Ciampa posted, he called Briscoe out, saying he had no business being in commentary for his match, asking Briscoe to get away from the TNT Championship picture after not being able to capitalize despite having seven attempts at the title.
Ciampa said he is sick and tired of the fake love and respect he’s being given, and he will make Briscoe go away. He mentions that a loss has taken him further away from getting a shot at the TNT Championship he lost recently.
He ended by saying that he’s the best damn wrestler alive and no one gives him the respect he deserves. He confirmed his heel turn, saying that the Psycho Killer is now alive.
