A WWE star has shared their emotional reaction to competing at their first-ever WrestleMania after nine years with the company.

On this week’s WWE Raw, three qualifying matches were held to determine the three teams from the Raw brand who would be a part of the six-team Ladder match for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania 40.

The matches saw DIY defeat the Creed Brothers, Awesome Truth defeat Indus Sher and New Day defeat Alpha Academy’s Otis and Akira Tozawa to earn the spots at WrestleMania.

For Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa, this match will mark their first-ever match at WrestleMania after being with WWE for 9 years.

Taking to Instagram to reflect on the win, Ciampa shared an emotional reaction to his upcoming first-ever WrestleMania match.

He said:

9 years in WWE. 19 years as professional wrestlers. It still hasn’t really sunk in.

To the 5 year old boy who had a dream: you’re going to Wrestlemania!
