Tommaso Ciampa: It's Cool The Tag Division Is Getting Prominence, But We Want More

The tag division has been featured more on weekly television since Triple H took over booking duties, but the titles have not been defended on a PLE since WrestleMania XL.

Tommaso Ciampa & Johnny Gargano held the WWE Tag Team Titles for 28 days, winning them on the SmackDown before WWE Money in the Bank, and losing them on the SmackDown ahead of WWE SummerSlam.

Speaking to Battle on Battleground, Ciampa weighed in on the current state of the tag team division.

"Being on the inside of that, I always want more and I always want it to go faster. That's the normal nature of competitive business. You always want more than you're getting and you always want it to happen faster than it's happening. It's exciting to see tag teams getting that light shown on them. For example, the last two or three pay-per-views, we've had pretty decent profile matches on the SmackDown the night before, which is awesome because it's a pretty similar crowd and energy level. Now, what we want, is we have to get on the PLEs. You watch the France crowd from home. You watch SummerSlam from home. That's the best crowd you're going to get. We just did a tour of Germany and every night was a great crowd. Berlin crowd was by far the best one. You want to be part of that. That's commercial-free; most eyes are on you, and it's the biggest stage possible. It's very cool that the tag division is starting to get some prominence, but boy, do we want more. I think that's just the nature of the beast," he said.

Ciampa and Gargano are currently feuding with The Bloodline (Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, Tonga Loa, & Jacob Fatu) on WWE SmackDown.

Elsewhere during the interview, Ciampa commented on the potential arrival of the Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley & Chris Sabin). You can find his full comments by clicking here.
