NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa appears to be pleased with his former tag-team partner and rival, Johnny Gargano. On NXT this week, it was revealed that Gargano was the man who attacked Aleister Black. The attack took Black out of a scheduled triple threat match for the NXT Championship against himself and Ciampa.
Not long after the episode aired this week, Ciampa released the following statement:

Tommaso Ciampa Statement Regarding Johnny Gargano
“May 2017
Two days before Takeover Chicago, where DIY would take on AOP in a ladder match for the NXT Tag Team Titles, I suffered a severe ankle sprain.
Within 24 hours the NXT fan base was prepared to replace me, suggesting replacement after replacement to Johnny.
My eyes were suddenly open. The NXT fans are weak and fickle. They are pathetic.
Going into Takeover Chicago, Johnny knew better than anyone how I felt in regards to our “fans”. But his eyes were still closed…he was still blind.
That night, after we lost, I looked Johnny in the eyes one last time, and I knew… I knew he wasn’t ready to see the light.
Johnny was still blinded by the fake admiration of the NXT scum.
I never hated Johnny. I hated what he represented.
After last night’s episode of NXT, it is clear, Johnny has finally seen the light.
Johnny Wrestling is dead. But Johnny Gargano has never been more alive.”
