Brutal post match attack signals major shift in AEW storyline
Summary
– Tommaso Ciampa attacked Mark Briscoe after losing to Daniel Garcia
– The confrontation happened during the March 7 episode of Collision
– FTR watched the assault and appeared to support Ciampa’s actions
Tommaso Ciampa shocked the audience during the March 7 episode of Collision when he launched a sudden attack on Mark Briscoe.
The moment came shortly after Ciampa lost a competitive match against Daniel Garcia. Throughout the bout, Ciampa appeared distracted by Briscoe, who was seated at the commentary desk, reacting to the action.
Following the match, Ciampa approached Briscoe at ringside and confronted him face-to-face. The two exchanged words as tensions quickly built between them.
Briscoe initially attempted to calm the situation and prevent things from escalating. For a moment, it appeared that the confrontation had settled.
That changed when FTR entered the scene. Dax Harwood and Cash Wheeler walked toward the ring, creating another layer of tension around the already heated exchange.
Briscoe stepped between the sides to keep the situation under control. With the confrontation seemingly resolved, Briscoe and Ciampa began walking up the entrance ramp together.
The calm ended suddenly when Ciampa turned on Briscoe without warning. He slammed Briscoe into the video screen before delivering a running knee strike that left him down on the stage.
FTR remained nearby during the attack and did not attempt to stop it. Their reaction suggested approval of Ciampa’s actions as the scene unfolded.
The assault marks a clear shift in Ciampa’s character and hints at a possible alliance with FTR. The fallout from the attack could now set up a new rivalry involving Briscoe in future episodes of Collision.
