Tony D’Angelo bags first WWE NXT win in months

While he made his return to the promotion at WWE NXT Deadline in December, following which he hadn’t wrestled any match. He made his in-ring return tonight and defeated Cutler James in one-on-one action.

This marked his first televised win in 218 days as he last won a triple threat match back in July 2025. Following his win over Cutler, he was attacked by Dion Lennox as he was present at ringside.

The two jumped D’Angelo and attacked him, but he overpowered them and took out Lennox. He looked to smash his ankle between two ring steps before he was pulled away from the predicament by James.
