Update On Tony D'Angelo Amid WWE TV Absence

Tony D'Angelo has been absent from WWE programming for the past several months, having been written off NXT with a Sopranos-esque cliffhanger in July.

Fightful Select has reported that talent and staff hadn't seen D'Angelo at the WWE Performance Center for months, but that changed last week and he was backstage at the NXT taping on Tuesday, November 11. D'Angelo wasn't dressed to train or film anything so it appears he may have just been at the facility visiting.

Very few details are known about D'Angelo's visit beyond that it was a rarity for him to be seen at the facility and people were happy to see him.

According to reports in early September, D'Angelo was expected to debut on the main roster before the end of 2025 and retain his mobster gimmick, although it will be "slightly refined" for either Monday Night Raw or Friday Night SmackDown.

Tony D'Angelo signed with WWE in 2021 and he debuted as part of the NXT 2.0 rebrand later that year. He is a former NXT North American Champion, NXT Heritage Cup Champion, and two-time NXT Tag Team Champion.
