As seen on this week’s episode of SmackDown, Blackheart Tommaso Ciampa showed up on the blue brand and interrupted The Miz during his promo. Ciampa cut a promo on how the Miz is too busy “playing the part” while he is “the part”.
This enraged the A-Lister as he challenged the NXT Superstar to a one-on-one match then and there.
So Ciampa took on The Miz on SmackDown and the two had a phenomenal match together. However, Ciampa hit The Miz with a strong knee followed by his finish – The Fairytale Ending to get the pinfall victory.

The last time Ciampa was on the blue show, he teamed up with Johnny Gargano to defeat the Bar in a tag team match. However, in the very same match, the former NXT Champion sustained an injury that benched him for quite some time.
