Ciampa talks about WWE under the creative control of Triple H.
Tommaso Ciampa was one of the pillar acts of WWE NXT during the height of the black and gold era. Earlier in 2022, Ciampa moved over to Monday Night Raw officially and began a new chapter of his career. Now, with the retirement of Vince McMahon, WWE creative is being headed up by Triple H, the mastermind behind NXT during the heyday of Tommaso Ciampa.
Speaking to Sportskeeda ahead of SummerSlam, Ciampa says that right now, the current WWE creative climate feels like business as usual but he is excited for the unknowns that lie ahead and although he believes he was starting to get over with Vince McMahon, he knows that what he can do will get over under the guidance of Triple H.
“So I feel very much business as usual, and I mean, you control what you control, right? That's been my MO and it's how I applied myself when he was in charge of NXT. Control you can control, work your butt off. How do you look? Are you healthy? Are you physically there? Are you mentally there? Are you cutting good promos? Everything else kind of sorts itself, and then opportunities come and you make the most of them. You have to hit a home run every time you are up at bat. That worked for me in NXT and I think it was starting to work for me under Vince on Raw. I don't think anything changed. Now it's Triple H, and I know it works for him, just because I've kind of been there and done that. So yeah, just I just got to keep doing what I'm doing. I don't feel like I need to change much. Then, hopefully, opportunities just get bigger and bigger as time goes.”
Continuing on, Ciampa spoke about the excitement of the unknown now that WWE is without Vince McMahon for the first time in decades.
“Change usually sparks excitement,” he said. “Each person has probably got their own views and opinions on it. for me, I like the idea of every time we talk, we have a similar approach to the business and we both appreciate stories. I'm hoping that we get to tell some really good stories, that'd be my one takeaway on it. Hopefully, that happens. But man, I don't think change is going to happen overnight it's kind of just an evolution to all of this. There are a lot of dominoes and play so I just feel like it's a wait-and-see approach. The cool thing is, twenty-or-so years from now, when we look back at this time it's going to be like, there was a shift, and I get to be on the inside of that shift. So that for me, that's cool, that's the exciting part. This is never been done before. Vince has never not been in the picture. So there's just the excitement of the unknown. So, that part is cool.”
Triple H recently stated that he is going to work as hard as he can with his whole team in order to ensure that the WWE Universe gets everything they want out of the product under his watch. Learn more here.
