Tommaso Whitney (born May 8, 1985) is an American professional wrestler. He is currently signed to WWE, where he performs on the SmackDown brand under the ring name Tommaso Ciampa (/ˈtʃɑːmpʌ/).
Whitney began his career in 2005, working on several independent promotions. In 2011, he began to work with Ring of Honor until 2015. He later appeared on WWE in 2015 as part of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, a tag team tournament. He formed a tag team, #DIY (Do It Yourself), with Johnny Gargano. The following year, he signed a contract with WWE and participated in the Cruiserweight Classic, a tournament for cruiserweight wrestlers, but Gargano defeated him in the first round.
Ciampa is a two-time NXT Champion and one-time NXT Tag Team Champion. Outside of WWE, he is best known for his work in Ring of Honor (ROH),[4] where he is a one-time ROH World Television Champion. He has also wrestled for several other independent promotions, including Beyond Wrestling (BW),[5] Chaotic Wrestling (CW), Top Rope Promotions (TRP), and Pro Wrestling Guerrilla (PWG).[6]
