Ciampa has also released his own version of a star-based rating system for matches this year. He used the system to evaluate his own match with Aleister Black.

Tommaso Ciampa NXT Champion

Ciampa expressing his desire to stay in NXT comes on the heels of rumors surrounding a change to the brand in 2019. Speculation is Fox Sports is possibly interested in airing the show on national television. Such a TV deal could fully establish NXT as a 3rd brand rather than a developmental one.

Triple H expressed similar sentiment on an NXT media call recently.

“Once we get into the Fox deal, certainly as we begin to get closer to October next year, we’ll all be beginning to have conversations and we’ll see what those conversations bring up,” Triple H said. “We’ll see where it should be, how long it should be, all those things, but everything is on the table.”
