How Long Does Tommaso Ciampa Plan To Continue Wrestling?
In his social media statement, Tommaso Ciampa thanked fans, fellow wrestlers, and WWE crew members alike for their support over his decade with the company. He then revealed that he believes he has another decade left in his career, and said he’s “excited for whatever challenges lie ahead.”
The star first signed with WWE in 2015 alongside Johnny Gargano. The two became a key part of NXT during its Black & Gold era, both for their time in the tag team division as DIY and their later feuds over the NXT Championship.
Since joining the main roster in 2022, Ciampa has held the WWE Tag Team Titles twice with Gargano and feuded with the likes of The Miz, The Judgment Day, and Motor City Machine Guns. Ciampa was last in action on the December 19th edition of SmackDown, teaming with Gargano in a losing effort against Carmello Hayes and Ilja Dragunov.
