How Vince McMahon reacted to Ciampa’s appearance during main roster call-up

During a panel at the 2022 San Diego Comic Con, Ciampa talked why two versions of his action figure (one with long pants and one with tights) were made…

“Lots of stuff happened when I made the jump from NXT. One thing, for me, was switching appearances slightly. I had a discussion with a very higher-up person in our company. I had a tank top and I was supposed to go out for a match on Main Event. I had these shorts on. He said [Vince McMahon impression], ‘Woah, look at those shoulders. Broad shoulders. Legs are a little slender.’ I really calmly said, ‘I didn’t want to try the long tights.’ I advocated a couple of weeks back and that was my main roster debut gear. Since then, I’ve had trunks.” (quote courtesy of Fightful.com)
