Tommaso Ciampa says that he's open to a comedic role in WWE and is not hard to please from a creative perspective.

During an interview with Metro UK, the 36-year-old spoke about his future on the main roster and what WWE creative may have in store for him.

"Creatively, I’m not very hard to please in the sense that I just view it as, 'Give me five minutes and I’ll make it the best five minutes I can', whatever that means," Ciampa said.

"Whatever I’m asked to do. If comedy is in my future, whatever it is, I don’t know – I just look at it like, there’s no ending to this."

"So, if I do comedy for a couple of months, it doesn’t mean after that I can’t go back and do something else I might enjoy. There’s no ending."

With Ciampa having officially departed NXT for the main roster, it opens up the door for many potential new match-ups for him.

"Whether it’s Edge or Rey Mysterio, I’ve never really had a singles match with AJ Styles, done stuff with Roman Reigns. There’s so many – you can just go down the list forever and ever," he continued.

Ciampa's run in NXT lasted from 2015 until 2022. During that time, he was a two-time NXT Champion. In 2018, his rivalry with Johnny Gargano was named Feud of the Year in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter awards.

And before anyone asks: Yes he once said years ago he wasn't interested in the main roster

 

[Deezy]

Ciampa in zero fucks given mode will ultimately help him more than being a pain in the ass who questions everything.

 

[Dale]

Not sure what his future holds but he's a great addition regardless.

 

[Swerve]

I want to see him vs. KO.

 

[Marty McFourth]

I want to see him vs. KO.

A lot of great possible match-ups for him. Would love to see Ciampa vs Rollins too.

 

[Cwalker]

Him being open to anything can only work in his favor. I’m sure he’ll fit in wherever they put him

That would be a banger.

 

[Cwalker]

Essentially everything is fresh for him. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of anyone on the RAW roster that he’s worked with extensively. I’m sure there’s someone but there’s a lot of new matchups for WWE casuals

Creatively, I’m not very hard to please in the sense that I just view it as, 'Give me five minutes and I’ll make it the best five minutes I can', whatever that means," Ciampa said.

That attitude will get him far. Keith Lee didn't have this attitude and that's why he is working at the inferior company now.

It makes me happy, this news. Ciampa has been due for a main roster call up in the last 2 years since 2020 summer. Him on the main roster opens up with fresh new feuds for him. Title feuds as well.

 

[Rosie]

He's proved he can be a face and a heel in NXT and his experience is an asset. Genuinely it is such a shame that we fans have been burned by NXT call-ups before and it will take a lot for us to be able to not be knee-jerk to these things. I think there is potential considering his versatility.

But I'm predicting he'll be renamed to just Ciampa soon.

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah it’s basically hit or miss with how WWE handles NXT talent so I hope Ciampa gets a significant push

For sure hit and miss. Most the time it seems to be a miss, or just inconsistency which makes the buzz they generate in NXT fade. I hope Ciampa is an example of someone who kicks some ass.

 

[Kiffy Lube]

Oh, okay, Ciampa. Didn't you say a while back that you didn't want to join the main roster because the schedule would be too much for you? Now, you're sayin' you're open to a comedy act. I see how you're tryin' to skirt around this now to get that main roster cash. Should be puttin' on classics on the main roster already.
