Tommaso Ciampa has officially debuted on the red brand.
During Monday night’s episode of RAW, the former WWE NXT 2.0 World Champion appeared in a backstage segment.
The former Elias (Ezekiel) would quickly interrupt and tried to convince Tommaso that he wasn’t really Elias as Kevin Owens claimed last week on RAW. This led to Owens coming in and calling Ezekiel a liar.
You can check out some highlights from the backstage segment below:

Austin Theory is no more.
During Monday’s episode of RAW, Austin Theory was featured in a backstage segment with Adam Pearce and Sonya Deville and announced that he had “consulted” with Vince McMahon and they decided that he no longer needs a first name.
So from this point forward, Austin Theory will simply be known as “THEORY”.
Additionally, THEORY vs. Finn Balor for the US Championship will be taking place next week on RAW.
Next Monday on #WWERaw
