Popular AEW star Tommaso Ciampa is celebrating his birthday this week. The company shared warm birthday wishes for the former NXT Champion on social media.
“The Psycho Killer” made an immediate impact after joining AEW earlier this year. He made a shocking appearance on the January 28 edition of Dynamite. This came just days after he announced his departure from WWE after working with the company for over a decade. He won the TNT Championship in his first match for the company, defeating Jay Briscoe in an Open Challenge. Since then, he has become a prominent star on the roster, bringing his dark energy and intensity to the promotion.
This week, AEW took to social media to publicly wish Tommaso Ciampa a happy birthday. The company posted a stylized graphic of the star in his signature jacket and trunks on their official Twitter handle and other social media platforms. Ciampa was born on May 8, 1985, in Boston, Massachusetts. The star is a wrestling veteran and was trained by the legendary Harley Race and Killer Kowalski. Several fans also joined the bandwagon, wishing the former TNT champion a happy birthday on social media.
