Tommaso Ciampa wins AEW National Championship from Andrade El Idolo

Tommaso Ciampa captured the AEW National Championship by defeating Andrade El Idolo during the November 7 episode of AEW Collision. The match took place during the Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea cruise aboard the Norwegian Jewel.

Ciampa secured the victory via a pinning combination following a period of chaos that included rain falling on the outdoor ring and referee Aubrey Edwards being knocked down. This win marks Ciampa’s second title in AEW, having previously held the TNT Championship. Following the match, Ciampa referred to the championship belt as “Ruby” and declared himself a “history maker” and a “belt collector” with intentions to pursue the AEW World Championship.

Andrade El Idolo, whose reign ended after 105 days, responded via social media, stating that he learns more from losing than winning. He noted that he still holds a guaranteed contract for an AEW World Championship match. Meanwhile, reports indicate that “Speedball” Mike Bailey is positioned as a potential challenger for the title.
