Tommaso Ciampa To Undergo Neck Surgery, Set To Be Out Of Action “For A Long, Long Time”

Last month, reports surfaced of NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa is currently dealing with a neck injury that has forced him out of some appearances outside of WWE and even caused a re-write for RAW two weeks ago. Along with Johnny Gargano, the duo was initially scheduled to be involved in a Fatal 4-Way tag match, but were instead taken off the show completely.

On the latest Wrestling Observer Radio, it’s being reported that Ciampa is going to have neck surgery in the next couple of days. He’s not going to be in the ring for a “long, long time,” but the exact amount of time wasn’t known at this point. Dave Meltzer speculated – based on the history of neck surgeries – that Ciampa could be out anywhere from 6 to 14 months.

Ciampa will have to vacate the title and the expected TakeOver: New York match between him and Gargano obviously won’t happen either. WWE had originally hoped Ciampa could work through the injury to get by WrestleMania weekend, but things have worsened in the past week to change that plan.

Stories leading to TakeOver: New York most likely will be adjusted on next Wednesday’s NXT TV tapings.

WWE Offers Alicia Fox Rehab Option

On the heels of the report today that Arn Anderson was fired from WWE after clearing an intoxicated Alicia Fox to wrestle at a house show last month, Fightful.com notes that Fox was offered rehab by WWE but went missing soon thereafter to the point where no one knew where she was or even if the rehab was offered. They add that Fox has been on “thin ice” for a while and even had an incident last year before WrestleMania where cameras caught her arguing with Ronda Rousey’s husband, Travis Browne. She also reportedly was late for a house show back in 2017 at a time when she was being positioned for a push.
