Castagnoli wrestled twice at the event.

In early December, there was a celebrity wrestling event in Germany that was presented by TV total Promi Wrestling. Among the wrestlers that appeared were Axel Tischer and Claudio Castagnoli.

Wrestlers were paired with celebrities in a tag team tournament and the duo of Peter Tihanyi and internet personality Rene Casselly emerged victorious.

Castagnoli’s appearance on the program was brought up while Sheamus was on episode #164 of WWE – Die Woche. The host for the interview with Sheamus was WWE Germany commentator Sebastian Hackl. Hackl was on the call for the celebrity wrestling event and recounted meeting Castagnoli.

I met him (Claudio Castagnoli) last month actually. There is a thing called celebrity wrestling here in Germany and he was a part of it and we had a bunch of fun.

It’s like, a professional wrestler and a celebrity in a tag team versus another professional wrestler and another celebrity in a tag team, and it was a bunch of fun. I was doing commentary. I had the time of my life. 

Castagnoli was present on the 1/22 edition of AEW Dynamite and ambushed Jeff Jarrett. The two talents are set to meet in singles action on the 1/29 Dynamite.
