Tony D’Angelo has held the WWE NXT Championship for a few months and his upcoming title defense at The Great American Bash may prove to be his biggest test yet.
The Challenger
Naraku burst onto the NXT scene in May and immediately declared his intention to win the championship. He earned the right to be the No. 1 contender when he defeated fellow NXT newcomer Mason Rook.
D’Angelo suggested to Fox News Digital in a recent interview that he’s keeping his antenna up after his latest interaction with Naraku. The challenger presented the official match contract to him unsigned. D’Angelo signed his name on the dotted line but was told he would have to wait a bit longer before Naraku signed his name.
"I mean, kinda. But I also took it as he might be second-guessing himself," he said. "He might be a little afraid of Tony D. He doesn’t know himself if he wants to step in the ring with me, yet. Yeah, that’s a possibility."
The Great American Bash
The Great American Bash will be the first NXT premium live event exclusively on the CW Network at 8 p.m. ET. D’Angelo and Naraku’s title match is one of a few matches on the card.
