Tommaso Ciampa hit the Fairytale Ending on LA Knight last Tuesday in a four-way match to crown himself as the new NXT champion.
For Ciampa, who vacated the title in March 2019 due to neck surgery, the finish truly was a fairytale.
“It’s been quite the journey to get to this point,” Ciampa says. “I remember thinking, right from the time I got the CT scans and MRI results, that I wouldn’t be able to come back full-time. I have had more surgeries than I care to even admit, but I’m so happy to be healthy.
