10 Awesome Indie Matches You MUST Watch On WWE Network

10. Tommaso Ciampa VS Killian Dain (PROGRESS, 2015)

Preceding this match on the WWE Network compilation is a brief testimony from Tommaso Ciampa, stating that this contest was a game-changer for his career back in 2015. He and the then Damo O'Connor unanimously decided that they were going to give it their all, and prove themselves worthy. It showed.

Here we had a cocky showman version of Ciampa's character, a little more wise-cracking than his grittier gimmick of recent NXT years. He works the crowd into a frenzy for the better part of the match, and begins the windups early on, when getting busted by the ref for concealing a hidden pair of hair clippers. A suitably hairy Damo expressed no amusement.

The dynamic of the two athletes made for an extremely pleasant mix of brutal hard knocks and high-flying escapades throughout the match, with Damo relentless in his joyless nastiness and Ciampa never failing to show the world his worth as a star-attraction. After his closing slam to Damo and the resulting three-count, the fans are well fed, and express their gratitude loud and clear.
