Ouch: New Detail On Tommaso Ciampa's Hip Injury And Surgery

That’s a long time. There are all kinds of ways for a wrestler to be injured and you never want to see someone put on the shelf for any length of time. Some injuries can take place all at once while others are the kind of that build up over time. Both have to be taken care of though and now we know a bit more about a WWE star who had to go under the knife earlier this year.

Back in October, Tommaso Ciampa revealed that he had undergone surgery to repair his hip, which has since been mentioned on WWE TV. According to Fightful Select, the hip had been bothering Ciampa for the better part of a year before he underwent the surgery. There is still no word on when Ciampa will be returning to the ring. Ciampa last wrestled at a WWE live event on September 17.

Ciampa is a heck of a star when he is healthy. Check out some of his time in WWE/NXT:

Opinion: You never want to hear this kind of thing, as Ciampa being out of action it quite the negative for WWE. The other bad sign is that it might be awhile before Ciampa is back in the ring. Needing surgery is bad enough but needing surgery for a year is even worse. Ciampa is a heck of a talent but it might be a long time before he is able to wrestle again, which is quite the shame.
