10 most poorly timed WWE injuries since 2010

#7 - Tommaso Ciampa ruptures his ACL (2017)

Traitor or not, no one deserves this

Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano seemed to be a perfect tag team. Both were outstanding technical wrestlers in their own right, with Gargano employing a more mat-based approach and Ciampa being more of a stiff brawler. It seemed only a matter of time before the two natural babyfaces, who called themselves #DIY, would capture the NXT Tag Team Championships.

And they did.

In what was quite possibly the best tag team match in WWE history, #DIY felled The Revival to capture the gold at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II in August of 2016. The duo held the titles for about five months, continuing to put on excellent matches throughout their reign, before dropping the belts to The Authors of Pain at NXT TakeOver: San Antonio in January of this year. Immediately after losing their one-on-one rematch at NXT TakeOver: Chicago in May, Ciampa turned on Gargano, cementing his heel turn and setting up a feud between the two.

Unfortunately for everyone, it was revealed soon after that Ciampa had ruptured his ACL, benching him for about ten months. Him and Gargano could have created magic together in NXT, but sadly, it was not to be.
