After five years in NXT, Tony D’Angelo has finally won the
big one and was crowned the new NXT champion last night at
Stand & Deliver.
The 30-year-old Illinois native defeated champion Joe
Hendry, Ricky Saints, and Ethan Page in a fatal four-way
match in the main event of the PLE, which aired on YouTube
in the U.S. and on Netflix internationally.
The ending of the match came when Hendry went for his
Standing Ovation finisher but D’Angelo got out of it and
speared Hendry. He then hit his Death to Rights chokeslam on
the Scotsman for the three count victory.
D’Angelo has been signed to WWE since February 2021 and has
always been part of the NXT roster. While he has previously
won the NXT North American and the NXT Tag Team titles, he
always failed to win the main title until last night.
