While WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins will be defending his belt in an open challenge on tonight’s edition of Monday Night RAW, don’t expect to see NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa do the same anytime soon. Despite the popular segment being used by stars such as John Cena and AJ Styles in the past, the reigning NXT kingpin isn’t a fan.
In fact, Ciampa said that he views open challenges as “participation awards,” and that they should be earned rather than handed out. “Blackheart” criticized how past superstars have done them in the past and went on to state that his championship the “most coveted title in sports entertainment,” and that it should be treated as such.
Do you agree with what the NXT Champion has to say, or do you enjoy the recent string of WWE open challenges? Let us know in the comments below.
