Tommaso Ciampa Returns to AAW After Almost 10 Years! | AAW Pro
For the first time in nearly a decade, Tommaso Ciampa steps through the ropes of an AAW ring. No script. No agenda. Just a microphone and a crowd that never forgot him.
This was the place Ciampa had his very last independent wrestling match. He talks about the handshake agreement with Danny Daniels — no title shots, no storylines, just opportunity. Sink or swim. That handshake created the Psycho Killer. He names the legends who came through this building — Penta, Seth Rollins, Josh Alexander — and reminds everyone that without AAW, there is no
AEW.
Then Joe Alonzo decides to make it about himself.
Alonzo interrupts, calls the Chicago crowd morons, and tells Ciampa he's an old sack of garbage who should get out of the ring before he breaks something again. The man who was kicked out of wrestling training on day one just told a future Hall of Famer he's washed up.
What happens next brings out Robert Anthony — all 6'6" and 275 pounds of him — and Donovan Marcales finds his way into the mix. This is one of the most personal segments in AAW history unfolds.
This is a moment. This is Ciampa coming home. This is why AAW matters.
