News on Tommaso Ciampa – Johnny Gargano on NXT Tonight

We also reported earlier this week that Ciampa has suffered some type of ACL injury and could be out of action for awhile, however the exact timetable for his return has yet to be revealed.

The tears have mostly dried by now, but the sadness that accompanied Tommaso Ciampa’s betrayal of Johnny Gargano still lingers. Rarely does a Superstar’s actions strike at the heart of the NXT Universe the way Ciampa’s attack on Gargano did, and everyone — from NXT management to ticketholders — wants answers.
How is Gargano recovering after the vicious ambush? What is Ciampa’s medical status, given the talk that he, too, suffered an injury in Chicago? And perhaps most important of all: Why did Ciampa turn his back on his best friend, bringing a sudden and tragic demise to the beloved #DIY?
Perhaps the NXT Universe will get answers to at least some of those questions tonight at 8/7 C when NXT streams on the award-winning WWE Network.
