Tommaso Ciampa Wins TNT Championship In AEW Collision Debut – Tommaso Ciampa captured the AEW TNT Championship on the January 31 episode of AEW Collision, defeating Mark Briscoe in a hard-fought match that followed Ciampa’s surprise appearance on AEW Dynamite earlier in the week.
The title bout was added to Collision after Ciampa confronted Briscoe on Dynamite, setting the stage for a competitive encounter that saw both men push each other from the opening bell. Briscoe, entering the match as TNT Champion, relied on his experience and toughness to withstand Ciampa’s offense, while Ciampa focused on targeting Briscoe with repeated high-impact maneuvers.
Throughout the match, Ciampa connected with multiple Psycho Drivers, yet Briscoe continued to kick out, refusing to stay down despite the punishment. The pace remained intense, with neither wrestler able to gain a decisive advantage for long stretches. Briscoe responded with his own bursts of offense, keeping the match evenly balanced and maintaining control at key moments.
The finish came when Ciampa finally broke through with a German suplex followed by a running knee strike, which kept Briscoe down long enough for the three-count. The result marked a major moment in Ciampa’s AEW run, as he captured championship gold in his first official match with the company.
Following the decision, fans in attendance reacted strongly, chanting “You deserve it!” in support of the new champion. On commentary, it was noted that Ciampa joined a very short list of wrestlers to win an AEW Championship in their debut match. Mercedes Moné is the only other wrestler to have accomplished the same feat.
After the match, Kyle Fletcher appeared to confront Ciampa, making it clear that he is focused on the TNT Championship. The brief interaction hinted at what could be next for Ciampa as he begins his reign as champion.
