Ciampa Reveals Why He Changed His Mind About Moving To WWE Main Roster

Ciampa had previously been reluctant about moving to the WWE main roster from NXT, noting in 2019 that he didn't want to work a 300-day schedule.

Ciampa's views on the main roster have obviously since changed, though, and the two-time NXT Champion is currently a member of the Monday Night Raw roster. He is also in the midst of a push, having recently challenged Bobby Lashley for the United States Championship.

Speaking on Out of Character with Ryan Satin, Ciampa revealed why he changed his mind about working on the main roster.

"300 days doesn't exist anymore. So, that was big and that was something that just kind of recently became a shift. Prior to the pandemic, it slowed, and then now it's just a whole new game. The pandemic itself, the neck surgery, and how it all went down and I was home almost every single night of Willow's [his daughter] first three years. You build such a relationship with your child in those first few years," he said.

Ciampa emphasised how important the neck surgery was, noting he was in an "abnormal amount of discomfort for years" but the surgery has allowed him to feel amazing to the point he feels he could wrestle for another 10 or 20 years.

"Now we have this healthy neck, now we have this healthy baby, we have all this time at home, everything changed in such a great way," Ciampa added.
