Tommaso Ciampa says he is enjoying his time in All Elite Wrestling and hopes to finish his in-ring career there, while also teasing new plans for his character.
Speaking during a virtual signing for K & S WrestleFest, Ciampa reflected on his early run in AEW and indicated that more developments are on the way. “So far, I like it a lot,” Ciampa said. “I love the start. There’s a lot of fun things I have in the works and ways to evolve the character and just gotta be patient and let that all play out but we’re on to some good stuff. There’s some really cool plans in the works.”
Ciampa also addressed his long-term outlook, making it clear that AEW is where he would prefer to close out his career. “I’m hoping that I get to ride into the sunset with AEW to be honest with you,” he said. “I really like it there. They treat my family extremely well, and my little one is having a blast.”
Ciampa made his AEW debut in late January after his WWE contract expired, quickly making an impact by capturing the TNT Championship in his first match with the company. However, his title reign was short-lived, as Kyle Fletcher defeated him just 11 days later to claim the championship.
Before joining AEW, Ciampa spent years in WWE, where he became one of the defining stars of the NXT brand. He held the NXT Championship multiple times and was involved in several high-profile storylines, most notably his rivalry with Johnny Gargano, which produced some of the brand’s most memorable matches.
Ciampa is set to continue building momentum on AEW Collision, where he is scheduled to compete in a singles match against Lio Rush on the Slam Dunk Sunday edition.
With plans already in motion and a clear vision for his future, Ciampa appears focused on carving out a lasting legacy in AEW as his career enters its next phase.
