Tony D’Angelo is back on NXT.

This week’s episode of the development show featured the North American Champion Ethan Page cutting a promo about John Cena’s upcoming retirement and his own greatness.

After a long promo, footage of The Don walking down a bridge was shown on the big screen before D’Angelo appeared in the ring. He delivered a big spinebuster to the current champion and dropped a scrap of black cloth on him to end the segment.

Page went to General Manager Ava to complain about the attack in a backstage segment afterward, but he didn’t get a lot of sympathy from the NXT official.


The former D’Angelo Family leader had been off TV for a while, having last wrestled on screen during the July 15 episode of the Black & Silver show.

He originally made his return to the company during the Deadline PPV this past week, where Tony attacked Je’Von Evans after the latter won the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge match at the show.

The returning star has yet to say a word since his reappearance, so it’s hard to say what the motivations are behind his actions. We should get a better idea about Tony D’Angelo’s new direction in the coming times.
