10 Wrestlers Having INCREDIBLE Years (That Nobody Is Talking About)
10. Tommaso Ciampa
Tommaso Ciampa's time in NXT since returning from his potentially career ending injury has been significantly underrated by most wrestling fans.
While his final match with Johnny Gargano was atrocious, Ciampa's 2020 was filled with great work against the likes of Karrion Kross, Adam Cole and Timothy Thatcher. He's become one of the smartest workers on the roster, having brutal matches that don't significantly risk his neck and putting on captivating narratives whenever he's appearing on TV.
His 2021 has been extremely entertaining so far. The pairing he's had with Thatcher - concluding their stiff rivalry before becoming an unlikely tag team - has been brilliant. The two are gold together, capable of putting on immaculate matches and uniquely amusing backstage segments. It seems inevitable that they'll hold NXT tag team gold at some point in the near future.
However, Ciampa's best moment of the year was his war against WALTER for the NXT UK Championship, where the two beat the daylights out of each other in one of the most impressive WWE matches of 2021. The Psycho Killer still has so much left to give in wrestling - and we've seen that in 2021.
