It has been yr thus far for NXT Champion Tony D’Angelo. He’s at the highest of his game on “WWE NXT” on Tuesday nights, and he only recently welcomed his first child alongside wife Isabella. D’Angelo took to his X (formerly Twitter) account<\/a> to announce the birth and share just a few photos of the couple’s newborn.<\/p>\n “Vincenzo James Ariola,” D’Angelo wrote. “My little boy.”<\/p>\n The NXT Champion shared a photograph of himself holding his son, in addition to two images of the baby. The couple first announced they were expecting in a sweet post to Isabella’s Instagram account<\/a> on Valentine’s Day.<\/p>\n Vincenzo James Ariola<\/p>\n My little boy. pic.twitter.com\/N7ahRvbkne<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Tony D’Angelo (@TonyDangeloWWE) July 7, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n D’Angelo, whose real name is Joseph Ariola, and his wife married in December 2024 after being engaged for nearly two years. Photos of their big day were also posted to Instagram<\/a>.<\/p>\n The previous “Don of ‘NXT,'” an almost five-year veteran of the brand, captured the NXT Championship at Stand & Deliver 2026. He dethroned Joe Hendry, and bested Ethan Page and Ricky Saints in a four-way match. Before that, the star returned to “NXT” following a months-long hiatus after shedding his mafia boss gimmick at Deadline, where he took out Iron Survivor Challenge winner Je’Von Evans and commenced to set his sights on the gold.<\/p>\n Since capturing the title, he’s successfully defended it against Page, Tavion Heights, Kam Hendrix and most recently at Great American Bash, Naraku. As of this writing, D’Angelo has not been advertised for Tuesday’s edition of “NXT,” and he was taken out on the stage by Naraku last week.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n\n
