One WWE star had enough mid-match as they abandoned their bout on live TV.

Tony D’Angelo is a man used to getting what he wants. And recently what The Don of NXT has wanted is the North American Championship. D’Angelo failed to defeat Oba Femi for that title at No Mercy and so he adopted a different approach.

In a video released by WWE on social media, Tony D’Angelo was caught handing over a sizable envelope to a mystery person as they sought out help to take out Oba Femi.

The person D’Angelo was paying off was revealed on the 10th of September edition of NXT to be TNA star Alex Hammerstone. Making his WWE debut as simply Hammerstone, the former MLW Heavyweight Champion challenged Oba Femi for the NXT North American Title. Ultimately, Hammerstone came up short at the hugely impressive Oba Femi saw off his challenger with a powerbomb.

As a man used to getting what he wants by any means necessary, that defeat left Tony D’Angelo unimpressed. That led to D’Angelo facing Hammerstone himself on the 17th of September edition of NXT.

However, with Oba Femi watching from backstage on a TV, Tony D’Angelo quickly had enough of the bout and simply walked away. That led to TNA’s Hammerstone gaining a count-out win.

This is another non-traditional finish between an NXT and TNA star as Sol Ruca lost her TNA Knockouts Title shot by disqualification recently when Grace was attacked by Wendy Choo.
