As NXT TakeOver: New York approaches Johnny Gargano and Adam Cole set to face one another for the recently vacated NXT Championship, but former champion Tommaso Ciampa wanted to let fans know that he should not be forgotten. “The Sicilian Psychopath” stated the following on Twitter:
In May of 2017 they told me that no one has ever had 3 major surgeries in a 12 week span and returned at a competitive level.
I returned to the most successful run of my career.
This week I should be preparing to walk into the main event of Takeover New York on WrestleMania weekend as the NXT Champion. This match meant more to me than anyone will ever understand..
The opportunity was taken away from me.
In March of 2019 they told me that if I return then I will be on borrowed time.
To be continued…
The surgery Ciampa underwent this past month was an anterior cervical fusion process and the timetable for his return is unknown at this time.
