Tommaso Ciampa reflects on AEW WrestleDream.

On the show, Tommaso Ciampa challenged Andrade El Idolo for the AEW National Championship. The bout ended with Andrade retaining his title.

Ciampa has now reflected on the event, saying that he’s here to collect every single title in All Elite Wrestling on his way to the AEW World Championship.

“THESE F’N PANTS!!

Jokes aside, I came to AEW to test myself… “where the best wrestle”.

Jericho, Okada, Andrade: each test, each loss, all part of the journey. I run marathons, not sprints.

The goal remains the same: collect every single AEW Title on my way to the World Title.

Back to work. ✌️

PS: epic dad fail on that selfie. No clue what happened to Willow’s face. But shout out to the nature boy in the background. Woooo!”
