Former NXT Champion, Tommaso Ciampa had previously made it very clear that he does not want to leave NXT and join either RAW or SmackDown. But in a recent interview, he mentioned that he's now more laid back about joining the main roster than before, but at the same time he still does not want to be on the road all year and work 250 days.

“Yeah, well I’m a year and a half out of surgery now. So I feel my stance getting slightly more laid back on it, but it’s one of those things were like, I don’t want to get too comfortable with ‘Oh, my neck feels great.’ Because I just know it, you’re one mistake away, you’re one bump away from it not feeling great."

"Right now I feel great, I mean, I’ve been on a limited schedule. I came back [with] such a slow, progressive pace of live events. And then when I started to hit a lot of live events, knock on wood I felt pretty good."

"Right now I feel great, but again, I just haven’t taken on a very hard load. So I try not to fool myself. It’s one of those like, ‘Hey, I probably can’t do 250 days a year. Wait, but I feel great even this many dates.’ Would I feel great if I did 250? Probably not."

“And honestly, a lot of it has to do with travel, too. The travel is the hardest port sometimes for me, if I have a long travel and then I have to warm up for a match and get on a bus or a car, or a flight. That part is very difficult, that cool down and then repeat process.”

Tommaso Ciampa will take on the new big threat on the NXT roster, Karrion Kross in what would be the latter's NXT TakeOver debut. With the kind of momentum that Kross has, he is the favorite to walk out as the winner this Sunday.

As for Ciampa, it is to be seen whether he'll join the many names rumored to move to the main roster soon. Tommaso Ciampa was previously called up to RAW last year alongside Johnny Gargano, Ricochet, and Aleister Black, but later went back to NXT.
