Unfortunately, WWE NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa is reportedly dealing with an injury.

This comes at a bad time for the WWE star as he was just called up to the main roster and worked on both Monday Night RAW and SmackDown Live last week alongside Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, and Ricochet.

According to longtime pro wrestling journalist Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, the extent and severity of Ciampa’s injury is unknown at this time. Ciampa’s toughness has been shown before and is doing just that again as he has the right mindset to getting through with this injury.

It was noted in the report that he wants to finish up his current storyline on WWE television before taking necessary action to fix it. Thus, he doesn’t plan to take time off to address the injury until his current feud with Gargano is wrapped up on NXT programming.

This program is expected to conclude at the NXT TakeOver: New York event takes place on Friday, April 5, 2019 in Brooklyn, New York at the Barclays Center on WrestleMania 35 weekend.

Thus, for those who were wondering why Ciampa didn’t appear on Monday’s RAW, this is the reason why. It was added that Ciampa will not join Black, Ricochet, and Gargano for the touring NXT shows this weekend in Cleveland, Columbus, Pittsburgh, and Royal Oak.
