Tommaso Ciampa isnt wasting any time moving forward after WWE.
Following confirmation of his exit, Ciampa quietly launched new merchandise on his Pro Wrestling Tees store, adding five new T-shirt designs and a hoodie built around the names Psycho Killer and Psycho Kid. The branding appears intentional, especially considering Ciampa filed trademarks for Psycho Killer and Psycho King on January 21 signaling that hes positioning this as his identity going forward outside WWE.
The Psycho Killer nickname isnt new to longtime fans, but the timing of the merch drop makes it clear this is the direction hes leaning into for the next phase of his career.
News of Ciampas WWE departure began circulating at the start of 2026, and he confirmed the decision last week with a public statement thanking the company and those he worked with. The 40-year-old also made it clear that hes far from finished, stating that he believes he still has another decade left in the ring.
Along with that announcement, Ciampa opened the door for bookings across the board including appearances, signings, photo ops, seminars, film projects, television work, fitness collaborations, sponsorships, and more.
Where he actually lands in the wrestling world remains open, but there has already been chatter about potential next steps. Dave Meltzer addressed the situation while discussing Ciampas future.
Between the new trademarks, the fresh merch, and immediate availability for bookings, Ciampa is clearly treating this as a full reset rather than a quiet exit. The question now isnt whether hes serious about the next chapter its where that chapter actually begins.
