Tommaso Ciampa is officially departing WWE, and his longtime tag team partner Johnny Gargano has reacted to his decision.
Earlier this month, BodySlam+ reported that Tommaso Ciampa wasn’t planning to renew his WWE contract. Earlier this morning, Ciampa took to social media to confirm this report and announced that he’ll be departing the company when his contract expires in the near future.
Ciampa’s last match with WWE took place on SmackDown last month when he and his tag team partner Johnny Gargano lost to Carmelo Hayes and Ilja Dragunov.
Shortly following Ciampa’s announcement, Gargano took to Instagram to respond to Ciampa’s announcement in a rather sad post. Gargano posted a black and white photo of himself backstage watching Ciampa on a television monitor. In a callback to Ciampa’s NXT gimmick, Gargano included a blackheart emoji as the caption.
As of this writing, it’s uncertain when Ciampa’s contract expires or how long Gargano has left on his current deal.
Stay tuned to WrestleZone for more information on Ciampa’s next move as it becomes available.
