Tommaso Ciampa calls AEW World title shot ‘the biggest match of my career’
Tommaso Ciampa says tonight is the biggest match of his career.
Ciampa will challenge Darby Allin for the AEW World Championship on the April 22 episode of Dynamite from Portland.
He posted a message to social media on Tuesday saying that his match against Allin will be his “love letter to the sport.”
Ciampa wrote:
“I can promise you this much. You’ve never seen a wrestler with more to prove than I have to prove this Wednesday night. You’ve never seen a man more overly prepared for his moment than I am prepared for this moment Wednesday night. And you’ve never seen a purer display of passion than you will see from me this Wednesday night. I love pro wrestling. This Wednesday is my love letter to the sport I love.”
He captioned the post with:
“The Biggest Match of My Career.
The Perfect Opponent.
The Right City.
Every moment of my career has led to this moment. Every bump. Every setback. Every accomplishment. Every injury. Every milestone. Every regret. Every tear. Every joy. Every risk.
Tomorrow night, I give you my everything.
For my wife. For Willow. For my fans. For myself.”
Earlier in the day on Tuesday, Ciampa posted a graphic to Instagram noting that he won the ROH TV title, NXT World title, and AEW TNT title on his first attempt, and plans to do the same with the AEW World title on Dynamite.
Ciampa enters the match on a five-match winning streak in AEW singles competition. He holds a 7-2 singles record in AEW, with his only losses coming against Kyle Fletcher and Daniel Garcia.
