Tommaso Ciampa has been using Willow's bell as his primary finisher since 2018, which is a Hangman DDT from the middle rope. He also uses Fairy Tail Ending as his finishing move, which is a double underhook sit-out facebuster, but he uses the finisher on rare occasions (like how Orton uses his punt kick or Big Show using KO punch) especially on the main roster. Ciampa uses Sicilian Stretch as his go to submission maneuver, which is a combination of scissored armbar and a crossface. The submission maneuver was previously called Rings of Honor, when he was in ROH.

During the initial stage of his career Ciampa used Project Ciampa as his finishing move, which is a Powerbomb into a Double Knee Backbreaker. However Ciampa has now turned it into his signature move. Apart from this Ciampa uses Argentine Facebuster, High Knee, Sicilian Barrage, Psycho Cutter as his signature move.
