There is nothing better in pro wrestling then some well written long term storytelling.
Slotted right behind Tommaso Ciampa’s year long feud with Johnny Gargano for best rivalry in pro wrestling is Blackheart’s beef with NXT Grandma fan Anita Smith. We first met Smith five months ago, when her Ciampa got into a verbal altercation with her on the Mar. 21 episode of NXT.
Fast forward to last night’s (Aug. 1) episode of NXT and look who the current NXT champion happened to run into on his way to the ring.

Ciampa is a huge jerk
Ciampa would not help any grandmas cross the road, give up his seat on public transportation to a elderly person and would not even pretend to listen to your grandparents retell the adorable story of how they first met.
Smith of course did not take Ciampa’s uncalled for behavior lying down and did what any red-blooded pro wrestling fan would do in 2018; she took to social media to air her grievances.
I know its frowned upon to use all caps when writing about pro wrestling but....
You might be the NXT champion, @ProjectCiampa, but you're not my NXT champion.

And I hope you'll remember me after Brooklyn, so I can say hi when you're "former" NXT champ... https://t.co/ydkFXp49a0
NXT GRANDMA ANITA SMITH JUST DUNKED ALL OVER NXT CHAMPION TOMMASO CIAMPA!
We are here for all this.
After Tommaso Ciampa’s reign of terror finally leaves NXT, which heel should Grandma Anita Smith feud with next?
