In a move that has sent shockwaves through the wrestling world, Tommaso Ciampa has officially announced his departure from WWE, marking the end of an era for one of the most respected figures in sports entertainment. But here’s where it gets emotional—Ciampa took to Instagram to share a heartfelt statement that not only reflects on his journey but also hints at an exciting new chapter ahead. Let’s dive into what he had to say.
Ciampa began by revealing, ‘In the very near future, my contract with WWE will officially come to an end.’ But this isn’t just a goodbye—it’s a celebration of a decade-long journey filled with gratitude. He extended a heartfelt thank you to the unsung heroes behind the scenes: the camera crew, ring crew, hair and makeup team, seamstresses, referees, creative minds, producers, catering staff, commentators, ring announcers, travel department, medical team, talent reps, and countless others who made his WWE experience unforgettable. And this is the part most people miss—Ciampa’s humility in acknowledging the collective effort that goes into the magic of wrestling.
He didn’t stop there. Ciampa gave a special shoutout to his ‘black and gold family,’ a nod to his NXT roots, emphasizing their irreplaceable place in his heart. To the fans who’ve supported him for two decades, his gratitude was profound: ‘Thank you from the bottom of my heart.’ But the most touching moment came when he addressed his wife and daughter, calling them his ‘rock and forever ‘why’’—a reminder that behind every wrestler is a personal story of love and sacrifice.
Here’s where it gets controversial: Ciampa reflected on his career, noting he’s spent two decades living his dream—first on the independent circuit, then with WWE. Now, with one decade left in his career, he’s stepping into uncharted territory. ‘I’m beyond excited for whatever challenges lie ahead,’ he declared. But the question lingers: What’s next for Ciampa? Will he return to the independents, explore Hollywood, or perhaps even join a rival promotion? The wrestling world is buzzing with speculation.
For the first time in over ten years, Ciampa is open for business—appearances, signings, photo ops, seminars, movies, TV, fitness collaborations, sponsorships, and more. If you’re looking to book him, his inbox is officially open at BookCiampa@gmail.com.

One thing’s for sure: Tommaso Ciampa’s dream continues to evolve, and we’re all here for the ride.
