The Motor City Machine Guns are reportedly coming to WWE, and Tommaso Ciampa would love to have a match with them. It was reported late last week that the TNA alumni are signed with the company, though WWE has yet to announce such, and Ciampa was asked about the notion of a match with them in an interview with the Battleground Podcast.
“That’s the natural go to,” Ciampa said (h/t to Fightful). “Whether it’s our styles or our size, everyone seems to pair us and those guys together. They’ve influenced tag team wrestling for two decades now. We’ve taken stuff from them, concepts and ideas. I’ve never wrestled either one of them, in singles or tag, my entire career. It would be really cool to have that happen on a WWE stage for the first time.”
He continued, “I know Johnny has a pretty good relationship with Shelley and has known him forever. I love those guys. He loves those guys. We see the same rumors that yall see. If we can get the tag division to a point where we have four, five, six different top acts at once, that’s when you’re in it. The more competition, the merrier. I welcome that. It elevates your game and forces you to elevate. I think the crowd will take to them extremely fast and well. I hope it happens. I probably want it to happen more than some of the fans.”
Ciampa and Gargano are teamed up as DIY on Smackdown. It was reported that the Guns are currently planned for NXT’s debut on The CW on October 1st, but again that has yet to be confirmed by WWE.
