- Tommaso Ciampa decided to rain on Johnny Gargano's parade for his match with Andrade "Cien" Almas at NXT Takeover: Philadelphia last Saturday receiving five stars by The Wrestling Observer Newsletter. What Culture noted that it was the first time that a WWE match has received five stars since CM Punk defeated John Cena for the WWE Championship at the Money In The Bank pay-per-view in 2011.
