In a thrilling turn of events, Tony D’Angelo has made history by claiming the Heritage Cup Championship on this week’s NXT, marking a major milestone in his career. The Don of NXT took to social media to celebrate his victory, proudly referring to the trophy as the “Italian Heritage Cup”. This monumental win is D’Angelo’s first singles championship, solidifying his position as a force to be reckoned with in the WWE Universe.
Tony D’Angelo’s journey to the top began in October 2021 when he debuted on NXT. Since then, he has made waves alongside his partner, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, as they claimed the NXT Tag Team Championship not once, but twice. The D’Angelo Family, comprising Tony, Channing, Luca Crusifino, and Adriana Rizzo, has evolved into one of the most dominant factions in the company.
This week’s NXT episode saw Tony D’Angelo defeat Charlie Dempsey, the previous holder of the Heritage Cup Championship. Dempsey had claimed the cup after defeating Noam Dar on February 27. As the ninth champion to hold the title, Tony D’Angelo is determined to make his mark, warning the rest of the roster to step aside.
The WWE Universe was quick to congratulate the new champion, with none other than NXT founder Shawn Michaels taking to social media to praise Tony D’Angelo’s achievement. Michaels shared a backstage photo with The D’Angelo Family, solidifying their status as one of the top factions in the company.
Next week’s taped NXT episode is already shaping up to be an exciting one, with Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Luca Crusifino set to challenge Axiom and Nathan Frazer for the NXT Tag Team Championship. The match promises to be an intense clash, with a major interference angle adding an extra layer of excitement to the bout.
As Tony D’Angelo basks in the glory of his recent win, the WWE Universe is eagerly anticipating what’s next for The Don of NXT. Will he successfully defend his title, or will a new challenger emerge to take him down? One thing is certain – Tony D’Angelo is a force to be reckoned with, and his “Italian Heritage Cup” is a symbol of his unstoppable momentum in NXT.
