Tommaso Ciampa posted on Twitter that he made his WWE debut 13 years ago on a July 14, 2005 episode of SmackDown.
Ciampa played the role of Thomas Whitney, ESQ, (his real name is Tommaso Whitney) who was Muhammad Hassan’s attorney and read a statement saying that Hassan would not be at the show that night. The Undertaker then came out and hit him with a chokeslam and Tombstone piledriver.
