WWE NXT REPORT: BIG SIX MAN TAG MATCH, RICOCHET VERSUS DREAM, CANDICE CONFRONTS CIAMPA, NIKKI CROSS . . . REPORTER, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2018-05-16 20:50:00

We are at Full Sail University and your announcers are Mauro Ranallo, Percy Watson, and Nigel McGuinness.

Johnny Gargano's music plays and instead of Johnny, it is Tommaso Ciampa who makes his way to the stage.

Ciampa says that everyone says that Gargano beat him.  Johnny may have won the battle, but he won the war.  That is why he is standing here while Johnny is at home in the neck brace he put Johnny in.

Ciampa says piece by piece he has broken him.  He broke his heart, his mind, his spirit, and now he broke his body.  Johnny Wrestling is gone.  Ciampa says he wins.

Candice LeRae makes her way to the ring.  

She takes the mic from Ciampa and she asks Ciampa who is he.  She says she used to think she knew Tommaso.  She says she does not recognize what he has become.  You are obsessed with ruining their lives and she says she does not know why.  She says the only thing that is broken is Ciampa.

Ciampa tries to fake sympathy.

Candice says she is done shedding tears for his cruelty.  She reminds Ciampa that he has been in their lives and was there on their wedding day.  She calls Ciampa a monster.  She says that her husband's future is uncertain, you will always know that Johnny is better than Ciampa.

Ciampa picks up the mic and he says maybe he was better, but you know and he knows that the boy you call your husband isn't half the man that Ciampa is.  That is why he sent his precious blonde wife out here instead of himself.  Ciampa says he lived with them for two years and she was more of a man than Johnny was.   Ciampa tells Candice that the entire time he was at their wedding, he was wondering how could she be marrying such a big . . . 

Candice slaps Ciampa and he appears to like it.  Ciampa backs away from Candice and leaves the ring.
