Tommaso Ciampa On Why TV Ratings For NXT and AEW Matter

NXT Superstar Tommaso Ciampa was recently interviewed by Sportskeeda in which he discussed the Wednesday Night Wars between NXT and AEW, why ratings matter, and more.

Below are the highlights:

On why TV ratings matter:

“It makes it a little bit more fun. It brings that competitive edge out. I mean have friends over there and I also have people over there I’ve never met or ever shared a ring with. It’s awesome to see, you know, everyone just elevating their game. Everyone just wants it. I don’t know if people say ratings don’t matter… they sure as Hell matter. Like, you want to win.”

On NXT Live on USA Network:

“Now that we’re on USA, we’re doing live TV. There’s just no more ‘yea buts.’ – They’re (NXT roster) doing everything that you would constitute of as a main roster player. I think that’s the main thing, that switch. That developmental like, stink is just gone.”

Do you think TV ratings matter in 2020 for professional wrestling?
