According to PWTorch, Tommaso Ciampa and Johnny Gargano have signed deals with WWE NXT. Their deals were originally reported The Wrestling Observer and PWInsider.com.
For several months, both Ciampa and Gargano have appeared on NXT television sparingly. Neither were close to a championship program, but perhaps now that can change.
As Sean Radican and James Caldwell of PWTorch.com put it, Gargano and Ciampa will be at “Tier 2” status. For example, Tier 2 status means they’ll appear on NXT programming regularly, instead of once per every-other taping.
Originally, they were both at Tier 3 status. That’s comparable to Blue Pants’ earlier deal, or Deonna Purazzo now.
Both wrestlers will begin working what Samoa Joe was initially signed to. He worked Indy dates, but mostly NXT. Now, he is at Tier 1 status and is WWE exclusive. At this point, Ciamba and Gargano are still allowed to work Indy shows.
With Sami Zayn Samoa Joe rumored to leave for the main roster full-time and Shinsuke Nakamura changing the men’s division, Gargano and Ciampa have a rare opportunity to make a statement on WWE NXT every week.
