Tommaso Ciampa may have lost the WWE Tag Team Titles, but he’s already making waves differently. During a WWE live event in Germany, Ciampa and Johnny Gargano battled the Motor City Machine Guns when Ciampa took a page from Scott Steiner’s playbook. Dropping to the mat, he started doing push-ups mid-ring, drawing a reaction from the crowd.
The moment didn’t go unnoticed. WWE capitalized on the buzz, officially dubbing him Big Ciampa Pump on Instagram, a clear nod to Steiner’s Big Poppa Pump persona. The nickname might be fresh, but Ciampa’s ability to reinvent himself remains as strong as ever.
Ciampa is looking for his next move after dropping the WWE Tag Team Championships to The Street Profits on SmackDown. Whether Big Ciampa Pump is just a one-off or something more, he’s again proving why he’s one of WWE’s most versatile performers.
