Tommaso Ciampa Out of Action Until Next Year

It doesn’t look like Tommaso Ciampa will be returning to action anytime this year.

According to Pro Wrestling Sheet, Ciampa is expected to be out of action until early 2018. The Medical exam given to WWE indicates that he will be out of action until March 2018.

Ciampa was last seen on WWE television on the May 31st episode of NXT when he explained why he turned on Johnny Gargano at Takeover: Chicago. It was reported by PWInsider that he suffered a torn ACL.

“Johnny is hurting physically, mentally, and we’re drained emotionally. It was a long night and we appreciate everyone’s support and kind words. It’s going to be a process, but my husband is resilient and will back stronger than ever ASAP.

We will try to keep you updated on his progress. For now, this is all I can say on the matter. I have no words for the absolutely selfish acts of this person we believed was apart of our family.

Thank you all for your love and support.”
