The Psycho Killer joined the Tony Khan-led company this year and is already one of their most over names. He turned heel on the latest episode of Collision, and it seems like he is going to have a lengthy rivalry with Mark Briscoe.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Ciampa recently released an emotional statement on Instagram. The former NXT Champion detailed how he recovered from a career-threatening injury during his time in WWE. Furthermore, he wrote that he is healthy today and feels blessed to be able to provide for his family. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Today, I&#8217;m healthy. Life away from the ring will always take precedent. My family is my everything. And seven years removed from neck surgery, I am able to provide for my family doing what I love. I&#8217;ve been given the gift of being a present and capable husband and father,&#8221; he wrote.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Paige found the AEW star&#8217;s statement inspiring and commented on this post. <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;Hell yeah dude.
