Originally published at WWE Raw notes: Tommaso Ciampa appears, RK-Bro vs. Alpha Academy
Tommaso Ciampa made his return to Monday Night Raw. He was on commentary for the tag match between The Street Profits (Montez Ford & Angelo Dawkins) and Dolph Ziggler and Robert Roode. When they came face-to-face on the outside of the ring, Ciampa tossed a cup of water into the face of Ziggler. Ziggler later superkicked Ciampa. The two talents brawled on last week’s NXT 2.0 after Ziggler interrupted a segment involving Santos Escobar and NXT Champion Bron Breakker.
