When NXT was the black and gold brand, Tommaso Ciampa was probably the best heel in the iteration of the brand. Now, with NXT being back to more of a developmental feel, it has lost some of its spark and interest with fans, even if the matches are as good.
While speaking on “El Brunch de WWE“, Tommaso Ciampa talked about his time in the original version of NXT. Ciampa stated that he believes the original version had an ECW feel.
“I think without being an ECW, I think it had a very ECW-feel … When I got there, we had just starting to do a couple of Takeovers. We weren’t really doing live events on the road much and by the time we got to the pandemic, we were on the road twice a month for four days every month, and we were doing Takeovers every couple of months. We were like a legit third brand.”
