In a recent event, Tony D’Angelo missed out on securing the NXT North American Championship from Oba Femi during the NXT No Mercy showdown. However, D’Angelo showed his tenacity, expressing his aspiration for a rematch. Adriana Rizzo revealed last week that he harbored fears of a second defeat, leading to an inspiring rally from The D’Angelo Family who pledged to assist him in his training.
In the recent WWE NXT episode, spectators witnessed a segment depicting The Family’s efforts to train him in an old school manner while also boosting his morale.

The upcoming October 1st edition of NXT in Chicago (also premiering on The CW Network) might witness a contract signing, as indicated by D’Angelo in the aforementioned segment. This, however, might occur backstage. In addition, it was revealed shortly after this scene that The Miz will welcome Tony D and Femi as his guests for the previously planned MizTV address, serving a similar purpose.
Post-commercial, Oba Femi was probed by unseen reporters about his reactions to the D’Angelo segment. His retort was stony silence, fully reserving comments till next week’s face-off.
The NXT North American Championship sequel will occur in a fortnight as NXT drops by The Factory in St. Louis, Missouri.
Here’s the updated lineup for the highly anticipated October 8th WWE NXT event:
- Showdown between Randy Orton and Je’Von Evans
- NXT Tag Team Championship Bout: Axiom & Nathan Frazer (champions) taking on A-Town Down Under (team of Austin Theory & Grayson Waller)
- NXT North American Championship Contest: Current champion Oba Femi up against Tony D’Angelo
- A special appearance by Sexyy Red.
Considering Tony D’Angelo’s determination and spirit, do you believe he has what it takes to overpower Oba Femi? We would love to hear your predictions in the comments section below!
