This past Monday on RAW, Tommaso Ciampa made his return to WWE after nine months of absence. Ciampa accepted The Miz’s open challenge. He defeated Miz after hitting the Fairytale Ending.
This week’s RAW was held in Cleveland, Ohio, which was Johnny Gargano’s hometown. Therefore, many fans expected Gargano’s return as well. However, that didn’t happen. Fightful Select noted that Gargano was backstage at this week’s RAW.
