Tommaso Ciampa won the AEW National Championship from Andrade one week ago on Chris Jericho’s cruise. Ijla Dragunov didn’t take kindly to Ciampa calling himself the “greatest damn signing” in AEW history, so the Mad Dragon challenged the Psycho Killer for the gold at tonight’s (Nov. 14) Full Gear pay-per-view.
This was a hard-hitting affair where the two stars beat the utter living shit out of each other with painful moves like this one on the steel steps.
Ilja has only wrestled a few times since signing with AEW, but this match made it quite obvious that his unique style in the ring is a perfect fit for a promotion where the best allegedly wrestle. For example, check out this D-Bomb off the ring apron.
Dragunov couldn’t fall flat on his face in his AEW PPV debut match, so he finished off Ciampa with another D-Bomb back inside the ring to become the new AEW National champion. As far as Ciampa is concerned, it’s yet another disappointing run with championship gold after he lost the TNT title in just 11 days earlier this year.
How far do you think Dragunov can go in AEW as the new National champion? Will Ciampa ever have a title reign that lasts longer than two weeks? Let me know in the comments below, Cagesiders.
