Tommaso Ciampa came up short at AEW Dynasty in the TNT Championship Casino Gauntlet Match. He’s not happy about that loss and is looking to take out some frustrations!
But, a man who didn’t even get a chance to get a shot in the Casino Gauntlet, one third of The Rascalz, Dezmond Xavier. Surely, Dezmond is looking to prove that he can become a TNT Champion if he’s able to pick up a win over a former champion.

Ciampa was visibly frustrated and even yelled at the crowd for calling him bald, telling them to save that for Ricochet. Then, Dezmond Xavier started getting in some big offense with a tornado DDT, a big topé and a 450 splash, but it wasn’t enough.
In the end, Tommaso Ciampa drilled Xavier with a devastating knee and picked up the victory! After the match, Ciampa grabbed the microphone and said what happened tonight was an example. He’s sick of waiting and he wants all the gold. And if he’s not clear, Darby, MJF, he wants next.
