During last night’s episode of SmackDown Live, NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa and NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano worked a tag team match against The Bar (Sheamus and Cesaro). Gargano and Ciampa emerged victorious when it was all said and done.
However, during the match, Ciampa suffered an awkward landing at one point. Some fans thought Ciampa legitimately hurt himself during the spot. Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful has an update. Ciampa is reportedly telling people that he’s fine, as is Sheamus who also got dinged up during the match. Here’s what Sapp Tweeted:
“I’m told from backstage at Smackdown Tommaso Ciampa says he is fine, and the same with Sheamus. You may remember that Sheamus has admittedly battled stenosis. The subsequent “x” call was for Ciampa.”

“Wrestlers saying they’re okay is hardly the end all, be all. Ciampa wrecked his knee at a live event and gutted out a main event two days later before missing like 9 months a couple years ago”
