The following is from our play-by-play coverage of the WWE NXT TakeOver: WarGames event:
Singles Match:Â Timothy Thatcher vs. Tommaso Ciampa
They did some technical wrestling to start things off. It was a hard-hitting affair with Ciampa getting the early advantage only for Thatcher to turn things around and dominate the majority of the match. Ciampa fought out of a choke with right hands. Ciampa hit a suplex off the top rope for a near fall.
Ciampa landed a series of strikes then had a headlock in as Thatcher was bleeding from his left ear, which was busted open thanks to a knee strike. Thatcher hit a german suplex. Ciampa hit a DDT off the middle rope for the win.Â
Winner: Tommaso Ciampa
