WWE: Tommaso Ciampa Injury Update; Torn ACL & Scheduled for Surgery This Week

TJR Wrestling

NXT Superstar Tommaso Ciampa is scheduled to have surgery this week in Birmingham, Alabama to repair his torn ACL. This is according to PWInsider.

Although a time table has not been announced for his recovery and in-ring return, but a torn ACL typically means that a wrestler will be out of action for seven to ten months.

Ciampa initially injured himself at an NXT live event the Thursday prior to NXT Takeover: Chicago. Ciampa wrestled through the injury at NXT Takeover: Chicago in a Ladder Match for the NXT Tag Team Championship, which hurt himself even more.

At the end of NXT Takeover: Chicago, Ciampa turned on his tag team partner Johnny Gargano and it is believed that when returning, Ciampa will get a major heel push as the most dangerous wrestler in professional wrestling.
