Tommaso Ciampa In-Ring Promo: 

Ciampa comes down to the ring in crutches. There’s Psycho Killer, Ciampa Sucks chants. Ciampa would like to take a moment right now to call Johnny Gargano to the ring. Ciampa feels like he should offer an explanation. Gargano is not in the Full Sail Arena tonight. Does the NXT Universe want to replace Gargano? Ciampa wants to talk about being replaced. Over the last two weeks, Ciampa has learn more life lessons than he has in his 32 years of existence. The Thursday before NXT Takeover Chicago, he suffered an injury and questions circulated about whether he would be ready for Takeover. Ciampa didn’t have those questions because he knew that he would fight. That’s what DIY was all about. In 24 hours, those questions started to turn to hypotheticals. The NXT Universe replace him with dream partners for Johnny. It took less than one day to replace him and for him to become an afterthought. Ciampa is not an afterthought. Ciampa put his frustration to the side.

He looked at his best friend and he said that they were going to fight at Takeover. Ciampa took a fall in the ladder match. He felt something in his knee pop. Ciampa has done this for twelve years and he knew that he would be gone for a long time, but he had to keep fighting. He put it all aside for the people and his best friend. It wasn’t enough, but they fought. At the end of the night, when he looked at Gargano in the ring and he saw his best friend and his brother. The NXT Universe was going to replace him and Gargano was going to do the same damn thing. He wouldn’t have hesitated if Ciampa had to go away.

In that moment, Ciampa made his decision and he knew what had to be done. It wasn’t his fault. It was the NXT Universe fault and it was Gargano fault. They had something special with DIY and you ruined it. If he was going to go away for a long time, Johnny Wrestling was going to go away for a long long time. Was this something Ciampa really wanted? It was them going from the ground up to live their dream. They would talk for two years about their moment. Takeover Chicago was supposed to be their moment. It wasn’t their moment. It certainly wasn’t their moment. Takeover Chicago was his moment. Ciampa is a 32 year old man and there is something that he knows. This ring is not replaceable. Tommaso Ciampa is not and never will be replaceable. Johnny Gargano is not replaceable. The NXT Universe is replaceable. He won’t give a sob story about going to fix himself and be bigger and better than before. When Ciampa returns, he will be the most dangerous son of a bitch. He is professional wrestling whether you like it or not.
