Ever since he's come back to NXT, Ciampa's big desire has been to shape the locker room and form a better image for the men's division in the future. This has led to a major back and forth against recent rising star Timothy Thatcher, and the two of them brought their heated feud to a head during their match at NXT TakeOver: WarGames. While Ciampa has made a habit of wearing masks to the ring, his latest look has gotten the attention of Mortal Kombat fans.
