Tommaso Ciampa stunned viewers with a vicious assault on Mark Briscoe during the March 7 broadcast of AEW Collision, and the former NXT Champion has now revealed the motivation behind his actions.

With tensions escalating and Ciampa placing the entire roster on notice, the fallout from the March 7 Collision incident may only be the beginning of a heated rivalry.
