The 40-year-old appeared during a segment with Mark Briscoe on Wednesday night, answering an open challenge for his TNT Championship. That singles bout will go down Saturday as part of an AEW Collision episode from Arlington, Texas.
Ciampa confirmed his WWE departure last week, noting at the time that he has “one decade remaining” in the business. Word got out about Ciampa’s expected exit from the company at the start of the month after some noticed that he had been absent from TV.
He was recently part of the Smackdown roster, teaming alongside Johnny Gargano in #DIY.
