Apr 22, 2026

Tonight’s AEW Dynamite show in Portland, Oregon will be featuring an AEW World Championship match between Tommaso Ciampa and Darby Allin.

Ciampa reflected earlier today on Instagram about his upcoming match against Allin being the “biggest match” of his wrestling career.

“I can promise you this much. You’ve never seen a wrestler with more to prove than I have to prove this Wednesday night. You’ve never seen a man more overly prepared for his moment than I am prepared for this moment Wednesday night. And you’ve never seen a purer display of passion than you will see from me this Wednesday night. I love pro wrestling. This Wednesday is my love letter to the sport I love.”

Ciampa also captioned his post writing:

“The Biggest Match of My Career.
The Perfect Opponent.
The Right City.
Every moment of my career has led to this moment. Every bump. Every setback. Every accomplishment. Every injury. Every milestone. Every regret. Every tear. Every joy. Every risk.
Tomorrow night, I give you my everything.
For my wife. For Willow. For my fans. For myself.”

In a follow-up post, Ciampa reflected on his history of winning championship belts on his first attempt throughout his wrestling career.
