He revealed plans to take a single day to process his emotions before returning focused and ready to compete again. He also congratulated Kyle Fletcher and alluded to a potential future rematch between them.
“11 days. I’ll give myself one day to reflect. One night to sit with my emotions. But when that sun rises, we get back to work. No excuses. No what-ifs. No regrets. Any given Sunday. AEW. Where the best wrestle. Congratulations, Kyle Fletcher! See you soon,” he wrote. ?Tommaso Ciampa, AEW Wrestler
