Tommaso Ciampa career trajectory in AEW

Overview

Professional wrestler Tommaso Ciampa has articulated his long-term career objectives within All Elite Wrestling (AEW), stating a preference for “slow-burn” storytelling. He has expressed interest in pursuing multiple accolades, including the Continental and National titles, the Owen Hart Cup, and the AEW World Championship, while targeting high-profile rivalries with performers such as MJF, Jon Moxley, Kazuchika Okada, Kenny Omega, Will Ospreay, and Takeshita. Ciampa has transitioned toward active championship pursuits, beginning with a challenge to Kazuchika Okada for the AEW International Championship. Following a victory over Myles Hawkins on ‘AEW Dynamite’ and a subsequent backstage attack on Okada, AEW President Tony Khan sanctioned a title match for the All Out pay-per-view. Ciampa has since expanded his ambitions to include the AEW National Championship. After attacking Andrade with a DDT following an open challenge at ‘AEW Collision: Grand Slam France’, Ciampa secured a rematch against the champion. On November 7, 2026, during a special episode of ‘AEW Collision’ held aboard the Norwegian Jewel during the Rock ‘N’ Wrestling Rager at Sea, Ciampa defeated Andrade El Idolo to become the new AEW National Champion. The match involved significant chaos, including rain falling on the outdoor ring and a referee bump involving official Aubrey Edwards. Following the victory, 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. This win marks Ciampa’s second championship in AEW, following his previous reign as TNT Champion. Andrade El Idolo, whose reign lasted 105 days, stated via social media that he learns more from losing than winning and noted he still holds a guaranteed contract for an AEW World Championship match.
