Tommaso Ciampa is the new AEW TNT Champion.
After making a surprise appearance on AEW Dynamite earlier in the week, Ciampa was quickly insert into a TNT Championship match against Mark Briscoe on this week’s episode of AEW Collision.
Near the end of the match Ciampa set a table up outside the ring and Briscoe jumped off the top turnbuckle then put Ciampa through the table with an elbow drop. Ultimately Ciampa picked up the win when he hit Briscoe with a running knee then pinned him to win the TNT Championship.
It was also noted by the announcers that Ciampa has now become the second-ever AEW wrestler, after Mercedes Mone, to win a title in their debut match.
After the match Mark Briscoe showed respect to Ciampa then Kyle Fletcher made his way out and made it clear that he wants a shot at the TNT Championship.
