WWE’s Tommaso Ciampa: ‘Creatively, I’m not very hard to please’

Tommaso Ciampa says that he’s open to a comedic role in WWE and is not hard to please from a creative perspective. 

During an interview with Metro UK, the 36-year-old spoke about his future on the main roster and what WWE creative may have in store for him. 

“Creatively, I’m not very hard to please in the sense that I just view it as, ‘Give me five minutes and I’ll make it the best five minutes I can’, whatever that means,” Ciampa said. 

“Whatever I’m asked to do. If comedy is in my future, whatever it is, I don’t know – I just look at it like, there’s no ending to this.”

“So, if I do comedy for a couple of months, it doesn’t mean after that I can’t go back and do something else I might enjoy. There’s no ending.”

With Ciampa having officially departed NXT for the main roster, it opens up the door for many potential new match-ups for him. 

“Whether it’s Edge or Rey Mysterio, I’ve never really had a singles match with AJ Styles, done stuff with Roman Reigns. There’s so many – you can just go down the list forever and ever,” he continued. 

Ciampa’s run in NXT lasted from 2015 until 2022. During that time, he was a two-time NXT Champion. In 2018, his rivalry with Johnny Gargano was named Feud of the Year in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards.
