4. He shined bright on the independent scene
Ciampa was released from OVW in 2007, mostly because the company was worried he might be injury prone.
While it was a devastating blow to his career, Ciampa didn't give up. He redoubled his efforts, proving that he's not just in wrestling for a paycheck or the fame, but because he has a passion for the sport.
He defeated none other than current Smackdown champion AJ Styles and Impact Wrestling megastar Eddie Edwards in a three-way dance to claim the MWF television championship in a match that is still talked about today.
