“You probably don’t even hear it when it happens, right?” Well, Tony D’Angelo might have found that out the hard way on WWE NXT.

At NXT Stand & Deliver, The Family faced DarkState in a six-man tag team match. DarkState was able to pick up the win after Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo betrayed Tony D’Angelo, nailing his boss with a low blow.

As The Family imploded, Adriana Rizzo was sent to the mattresses and out of harm’s way while Luca Crusifino initially tried to show loyalty to Tony D’Angelo before nailing The Don and Stacks Lorenzo to strike out as his own man.

This all led to an explosive triple threat match between the male members of The Family. Tony D’Angelo proved why he is The Don of NXT as he dominated the action to pick up the decisive win.

Tony D’Angelo Meets The Same Fate As Tony Soprano On WWE NXT

But now on the July 29th edition of NXT, D’Angelo might have met his fate in the same way Tony Soprano once did in Holsten’s with a mouthful of the best onion rings in the state.

A video aired on NXT of D’Angelo getting ready to eat as he tells the waiter he no longer needs to be known as “The Don” and that Tony D is just fine. However, a presence is soon felt as a shadow is cast over D’Angelo’s face as he looks up before the scene cuts to black. The ending mimicked the infamous ending to The Sopranos when fans had to infer what happened next.

Quite what this means for D’Angelo’s future means, but fans of his won’t stop believing that this could be WWE’s way of getting him off NXT and onto the company’s main roster.
