I cannot express my joy to you in knowing Claudio is Claudio again. A damn near five star match with Sabre, using the Ricola Bomb again, the bomb ass theme, and, while debatable on the intent or execution, him closing the show standing tall and wiping everyone out made me so unbelievable happy This is one of my guys forever, a generational talent, one of one strength, and I can't wait to see him tear it up here, in a place that actually understands that Too Swiss? That's a good thing

Wonder what exactly changed with him given by all accounts he was open to making his way back to WWE. Were they just not offering what he wanted?

Cool to see Claudio, I've missed seeing him on my laptop when I watch my wrestling.

Tony said he has had him under contract since early June and was considering debuting him at the next ROH PPV. No one knew he had him signed. And when Bryan got hurt, Danielson suggested bringing in Claudio to replace him and Tony then broke the news to him that he already had him signed.

Loved it and hated that he stole Sami Zayn's NXT tights haha...Was not a fan of the design but he will settle into something I am sure.

Or he signed shortly after them?

Honestly could see it being similar to why Cole came to AEW (and Danielson too to an extent) where the opportunities that came with AEW were just more appealing to him. As for the show tonight, weird ending overall aside, I'm glad to see Claudio was put over huge. I know the Too Swiss jokes, but man dude legit has everything you could ask for in a wrestler and I'm legit stunned he never got a sustained singles push and became a tag specialist in WWE.

Pretty sure Claudio has spent most of his career wearing terrible gear of some type or over. Dude kind of only ever looks good when he's just ripping off what Sheamus is wearing.

I love Claudio as a wrestler. But I'm just as looking forward to him doing nerd shit with Adam Cole and Evil Uno as I am seeing him wrestle.

Also important to remember that AEW outbid WWE for Cole. I don't think it happens a lot since WWE has more cash for this stuff but Tony is willing to give a better counteroffer when he thinks it's necessary.

I know aside from matches, the Bucks, and Britt, Cole said a big thing was being able to keep his twitch stream and he also confirmed that he didn't want to change his name or his look to go to the main roster.

He said he reached out to Claudio right after the LA show and had him under contract within a week. Castagnoli seems really good at the whole radio silence thing. Like, I don’t think I’ve ever seen 100% confirmation that he and Sara Del Rey are a couple, yet apparently they’ve been a couple for years and Del Rey’s had a baby in the last year?

He's rumoured to be dating Del Rey? Legit first time I've heard of the rumour. Congrats to Del Rey on having her baby and if Castagnoli IS the Father than congrats to him also.

If you were a bit closer to them, it was very, very obvious. They were booked on local Indies as a package deal lol

There’s no timeline full of PDA photos or anything one can point to confirm it, and because it’s not anyone’s right to really dig for more info, they’ve seemingly done a remarkable job of keeping a private personal life, especially with someone who has been on worldwide wrestling TV for over a decade now.

He had some pretty nice tights and trunks during the BDK CHIKARA era I'll say
