D'Angelo vows path of destruction in NXT title chase
Tony D’Angelo challenges NXT champion Joe Hendry in a fatal four-way match at Stand & Deliver on Saturday. The bout also features Ricky Saints and Ethan Page, with the NXT Championship at stake. D’Angelo declared himself on a "path of destruction" in an interview ahead of the event.
D’Angelo returned to action in December with a new look after The Family stable disbanded in July. Nearly a year earlier, stablemate Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo betrayed him at the previous Stand & Deliver. He defeated Cutler James and Dion Lennox at Vengeance Day on March 7, 2026, signaling his renewed push for the top prize.
D’Angelo holds a one-time NXT North American Championship, two NXT Tag Team Championships and one Heritage Cup. He previously fell short against Ilja Dragunov for the NXT title at Stand & Deliver in Philadelphia. "I’m no stranger to it," D’Angelo said. "I went to war with Ilja Dragunov in Stand & Deliver in Philly. I came up a little bit short on that one. But, look, I am on a path of destruction right now."
Stand & Deliver takes place at The Factory in St. Louis, Missouri, starting at 7 p.m. ET on YouTube. D’Angelo expressed confidence in the matchup. "I don’t think there’s anything that’s gonna stop me from getting what I want and it’s the NXT Championship," he said. "I actually have the advantage in this one."
