Report: Update on absent WWE NXT star
Tony D’Angelo’s status remains up in the air.
The former NXT North American Champion hasn’t been seen on television since the end of July. According to a new Fightful report, D’Angelo was backstage at the November 11 NXT show in Orlando, but wasn’t dressed to train or film anything for TV. The report noted that it had been “a rarity to see him these days” and people were happy to see him there.
D’Angelo was last seen on television back on the July 30 edition of NXT. After concluding his feud with former associate Stacks, he was seen at his restaurant eating alone when suddenly he spotted someone off-screen. The scene immediately went to black and the show ended, similar to the infamous series finale of ‘The Sopranos’.
Signing with WWE in 2021, D’Angelo quickly became popular in NXT, forming a group of associates that included Stacks, Adrianna Rizzo, and Luca Crusifino. After Stacks turned against D’Angelo at this year’s Stand & Deliver, the feud culminated in a triple threat match that took place in July, with D’Angelo defeating both Stacks and Crusifino.
