Tommaso Ciampa's daughter is the best.
The newest AEW signee recently spoke to Vice for an interview. He talked about things such as the development of his new theme music, people he wants to face in Tony Khan's promotion and more.
During the interview, the former NXT Champion also discussed his family's reaction to his AEW move. Specifically, Tommaso Ciampa revealed that his 7-year-old daughter Willow, was worried for him, thinking that people may not be kind to her father in his new home. The wrestling veteran noted that Willow, who has been at many shows with him, was also sad that she will not be able to meet some of her favorite people from the WWE roster anymore:
“She was super nervous for me when we had to break the news to her. She would come sometimes and she has met everybody. We’ve had parties, we’ve gone to parties. In her little seven-year-old mind, it was like I’m starting a new school. ‘What if you don’t know anyone? What if they’re not nice to you?’ She got emotional. Even some of the people she was going to miss, ‘The Hair Boys’, is Pretty Deadly, ‘Kiss Lips’, which is Bianca [Belair]. ‘Neck Tattoo Boy’, which is Cody. She has nicknames for everybody, so she was just sad."
It Immediately Changed How She Views This: Tommaso Ciampa
Thankfully, the people at AEW did everything they could to make the little one more confident about the company. Tommaso Ciampa named Mark Briscoe and Willow Nightingale as people who helped his daughter get comfortable at his new workplace on the day of his debut:
"I’m so happy I brought her for the first one because it immediately changed how she views this. One, she bumped into a lot of people she’s already met and known. But two, Mark Briscoe, I think he’s got six or seven children, he’s great with kids. So charismatic, she’s meeting him and she thinks he’s just the coolest. Willow [Nightingale] has the same name; she has two titles and the coolest hair; her gear is awesome. So she’s just in love with her.”
Tommaso Ciampa, unfortunately, lost his TNT title to Kyle Fletcher on Dynamite this week. The new champion has already been booked to defend his title in a ladder match. You can check out more about it here.
