The Undertaker has been an inseparable part of the WWE Universe for over a few decades. His iconic career includes numerous memorable storylines that have propelled his own career. However, that’s not the only impact he has made. His impact has reverberated in shaping some young stars’ destinies in the promotion too. The Phenom’s intervention continues to live through a star in the making. Former NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa was one of those lucky chaps to share the ring with Taker.

Back in 2005, Ciampa was a part of an infamous storyline featuring The Undertaker and Muhammad Hassan. The 38-year-old looked back on how the surreal experience led to an endearing bond between him and The Deadman. It also elevated his overall image in the business as well.

The Undertaker storyline with Muhammad Hasan gained notoriety in the promotion for its controversial nature. Moreover, it got written off immediately after the heinous London Bombings took place. However, it proved to be the big career break for The Black Heart.

He played the iconic role of Hassan’s lawyer, Thomas Whitney. It turned out so good that it caught the eyeballs of the WWE higher-ups. From coming in close contact with The Undertaker to getting a career-changing call from WWE, Ciampa explained the whole unforgettable experience during his latest interview with Chris Van Vliet.

”It was one of those days where you’re just like, what is happening like, by the time I got in there with Taker and did it like, even that was surreal. Because I want to say gives me a chokeslam and then a tombstone. He gives me the chokeslam. And we used to have this thing where we’d go for what we called treats. We’d go every day after class. It was just to the 99 it was food. We’d say treats. And we always like to say when we left each other was thank you, Daddy. Hi, Daddy. That was our thing.”, Ciampa noted.
