Professional wrestler Tommaso Ciampa has articulated his long-term career objectives within All Elite Wrestling (AEW), stating a preference for “slow-burn” storytelling. He 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, and Kazuchika Okada.

Following these stated ambitions, Ciampa has moved toward a specific championship pursuit. After defeating Myles Hawkins on an episode of ‘AEW Dynamite’, Ciampa issued a challenge to Kazuchika Okada for the AEW International Championship. Following a verbal confrontation and a backstage attack by Ciampa, AEW President Tony Khan officially sanctioned a title match between the two for the upcoming All Out pay-per-view.
