Tommaso Ciampa secured a title on the November 7 episode of AEW Collision, pinning Andrade El Ídolo to win the AEW National Championship in a grueling contest aboard the Norwegian Jewel.
The victory served as redemption for “The Psycho Killer,” who had previously failed to dethrone Andrade in their prior championship encounter.
High-Stakes Action and Ringside Incidents
From the opening bell, Ciampa looked to gain a psychological edge before the action escalated into heavy physical exchanges:
- Mind Games Early: Ciampa demanded referee Aubrey Edwards check Andrade’s attire, using the momentary distraction to land a sudden dropkick.
- Champion’s Response: Andrade answered with a lariat and executed the Three Amigos to shift momentum back in his favor.
- Weather Conditions: Rain began falling on the open-air deck of the Norwegian Jewel, creating a slippery ring surface. Following a close sequence near the apron, Andrade suffered a rough landing, forcing Edwards to inspect his condition before action resumed.
- Near-Falls and Escalation: Ciampa delivered a Psycho Driller off the second rope for a close two-count. Momentarily frustrated, Ciampa ripped at Andrade’s attire to continue a relentless series of stomps.
Ref Bump, Foul Tactics, and the Title Change
The closing sequence devolved into chaos after an accidental collision knocked Edwards unconscious as Andrade hit The DM, preventing a clear count:
- Low Blow and Knee Strike: With the referee down, Ciampa targeted Andrade with a low blow followed by an exposed running knee, though Andrade managed to kick out once Edwards stirred.
- Final Trade: Andrade responded in kind with an exposed knee to Ciampa’s jaw for another near-fall.
- Decisive Roll-Up: As both men exhausted their signature offense, Ciampa capitalized on a momentary opening to secure a tight roll-up pin, holding Andrade down for the three-count.
The title victory gives Ciampa major momentum heading into AEW Full Gear, ending Andrade’s reign in unpredictable fashion.
