Ranking Tommaso Ciampa's 10 Greatest NXT Matches
4. Vs. Undisputed Era - TakeOver: WarGames 2019
One of the best WarGames matches in its rebooted format saw Ciampa assemble a superteam of Keith Lee, Dominik Dijakovic, and the returning Kevin Owens to take on the rampant Undisputed Era.
As you’d imagine, this one is just bell to bell nonsense, with abundant up spots, physics-defying agility from big boys Lee and Dija, a hero’s welcome for the energised Owens, and the usual sneaky heel work and wild bump taking from Undisputed Era (each of whom wind up getting pasted through tables by one of the good guys).
Pulling it all together, though, is team captain Tommaso Ciampa. Not long back from surgery, he nonetheless puts in a hell of a shift, wrestling every moment of the match’s 38 minutes and change. He’s built for the gruelling stipulations of the cage, showing up in war paint and carrying artillery.
He’s saved the biggest spot of the night, capturing the scampering Adam Cole at the top of the metal structure and dealing an Air Raid Crash through yet more wood for the win.
