Tony D’Angelo became the face of “NXT” when he defeated Joe Hendry, Ricky Saints, and Ethan Page in a fatal four-way match for the NXT Champion on the Stand & Deliver Premium Live Event. While D’Angelo is officially the primary ever NXT Grand Slam Champion, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T believes D’Angelo needs to point out him something — and possibly change his name.
“The one person, I’d say, that is got to actually step up in ‘NXT’ immediately is Tony D’Angelo. He’s the champ!” Booker expressed during an episode of his “Hall of Fame” podcast, declaring that D’Angelo has a whole lot of competition and desires to start to prove himself, especially since he’s the champion now.
“You bought to be a very good talker, alright? You gotta give you the option to confer with people within the constructing, alright? But then you definitely’ve got to give you the option to go on the market and back it up at the identical time,” he said. “I’ll be diligently watching Tony D’Angelo. You understand, possibly we should always change the name? You understand? TD Angelo? You understand, something like that … I gotta give him more of a playa name!”
Booker laughingly put out a call to his audience for a brand new moniker he could “slap” on D’Angelo to “put the rocket on him.” He also admitted that D’Angelo is “a hell of a talent,” but noted that there is still a feel of his D’Angelo Family mob boss character, which he thinks D’Angelo needs to interrupt away from.
