The Blackheart joined WWE’s RAW brand in April 2022, following an 8-year run on the company’s developmental brand. He would immediately take shots at Superstars like Mustafa Ali and AJ Styles, and would soon align himself with WWE’s Most Must-See Superstar, The Miz.
During an interview with Ryan Satin on the Out of Character podcast, Ciampa explained why he finally agreed to join the company’s main roster. Citing changes in his personal health, touring schedule, and overall interest in pro-wrestling played pivotal roles.
During his time in NXT, the ring veteran built a legacy as one of the brand’s top performers in its history. Winning the NXT Championship twice, the NXT Tag Team Championship with #DIY. In addition, The Pyscho Killer helped create arguably one of NXT’s most memorable rivalries in the last decade, with former Superstar, Johnny Gargano.
Ciampa gives high priase to United States Champion, Bobby Lashley. But vowes that he himself is ‘just getting started’ on the WWE main roster
While The Blackheart was unable to defeat The Almighty Bobby Lashley and secure his first main roster title, Ciampa still offered a ton of flattering praise to the former US Marine.
On a recent episode of WWE The Bump, the former NXT Champion conceded that Lashely’s superior size and strength gave him the edge in their bout. Ciampa also wanted to make it very clear that his aspirations for success on the main roster are strong.
Ciampa’s current partnership with The Miz helped pave the way for an opportunity against the United States Champion. While he would tribute the match to WWE legend Harley Race, he would lose the hard-hitting affair on the August 1st edition of Monday Night RAW.
