We reported on Thursday night that Tommaso Ciampa of DIY was injured at that evening’s NXT live event in Highland Heights, KY. Early during a match pitting DIY against Sanity, Ciampa dived off the ring apron onto Sanity and hurt his left leg. The match was quickly stopped and ruled a no-contest. An upset Ciampa hopped to the back yelling, “get me the f–k out of here.”

Ciampa and Johnny Gargano were scheduled to face NXT Tag Team Champions The Authors of Pain for the titles at NXT: Takeover this Saturday. Triple H took part in a media conference call this morning to promote the event. During the call, I asked Triple H about Ciampa’s injury and his status for this Saturday.

“He turned his ankle somewhere [during the match],” Triple H said. “As a precaution everything shut down, it stopped, he got out of there. He went for an X-ray last night, and there’s no break or fracture. He’s got an ankle sprain. When I texted with him this morning, he was feeling better and was up moving around and felt like he was not going to have an issue with it. It was not really bothering him, it was not really as bad as they thought it was.”

Triple H noted that Ciampa was up and moving around, and their medical team will decide if he can work Saturday’s show. He said that as of right now, Ciampa is in “but we’ll see how that goes.” He added that Gargano and Ciampa were very excited to work in Chicago, which is somewhat of their homebase, and he would hate to see that ruined because it’s a moment for them.

Asked if there was a backup plan in place in case Ciampa is not able to work the match. Triple H said that if Ciampa’s condition worsens today, then he will try to figure out other plans.

“Right now I’m going to keep a positive frame of mind that he will be there tomorrow,” Triple H said

Speculation has run rampant for weeks, but Ember Moon has now confirmed that her shoulder is hurt — and WWE reports that she’ll no longer be wrestling at NXT Takeover: Chicago.

“There’s no Takeover: Chicago for me. I’m out,” Moon said in a video posted by WWE Monday afternoon. WWE also reports that she sustained a grade one shoulder sprain.

Rumors of Moon’s injury began after the last set of NXT tapings when images of Moon in a sling emerged after she landed hard on the floor during an ambush from Asuka. However, this has been the first confirmation that she will be off of the show and out four to five weeks.

No official word as to whether she’ll be replaced in the upcoming match or if it’s now a triple threat. As for Moon, she remains hopeful. “When I get back, I’m going to be better than ever.”

Backstage News On WWE NXT Superstars Coming To The Main Roster Soon, One Call-Up Delayed?

Some of the WWE NXT Superstars who suffered losses at “Takeover: Orlando” on Saturday night are set for main roster call-ups soon, according to Wrestling Observer Radio.

Word is that Shinsuke Nakamura, Tye Dillinger and Andrade “Cien” Almas are coming to the main roster soon. Dave Meltzer speculated on Wrestling Observer Radio that Dash and Dawson of The Revival may be called up as well. No word yet on what brand these Superstars might end up on.

No word yet on Elias Samson coming to the main roster but it appears his call-up may be delayed. It was believed that Samson was headed to the main roster after losing the “Loser Leaves NXT” match to Kassius Ohno last week but Dave Meltzer indicated other wise on Observer Radio. The plan was for Samson to come to the main roster as recent as January of this year.
