Timeline Confirmed: Ciampa's AEW Debut

Fightful Select has debunked earlier reports suggesting Tommaso Ciampa could have debuted in AEW a week before his January 28 appearance on 'Dynamite.' According to AEW sources, Ciampa was still under contract with WWE until January 28, when he became a free agent.

The 'Psycho Killer' revealed his AEW debut came together at the last minute while he was on a family vacation in Texas. Ciampa quickly prepared his presentation, debuted on 'Dynamite,' continued his vacation, attended 'Collision' where he won the TNT Championship from Mark Briscoe, and still finished his vacation before the following week's TV shows.
