Tommaso Ciampa Reflects on Wrestling Chris Jericho at AEW Redemption 2026

At AEW Redemption 2026, Tommaso Ciampa competed against Chris Jericho, known as 'The Painmaker,' in a No Holds Barred match following a previous victory over him during AEW Dynamite's Beach Break special.

Ciampa expressed his enthusiasm for facing a wrestler he has admired since childhood, noting their strong in-ring chemistry and the trust they developed during their time together. The match was marked by intense brutality, including Ciampa being driven through a barbed wire table and Jericho being dropped through a glass mirror and table.

Despite Jericho's age of 55, Ciampa was impressed by his opponent's ability to keep pace, remarking on the physical toll such matches take and questioning how one recovers at that age.
