Santos Escobar and Tony D’Angelo collide for the fate of Legado del Fantasma
The battle for control of NXT 2.0 has raged for weeks between Legado del Fantasma and The D’Angelo Family.
After
Tony D’Angelo was “made,” the tensions between “The Don” and
Santos Escobar steadily rose until Legado del Fantasma was forced to join D’Angelo after losing their Six-Man Tag Team Match at NXT In Your House.
Escobar, Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde and Elektra Lopez gritted their teeth and reluctantly followed D’Angelo’s orders, but The Emperor refused to fall in line. D’Angelo punished Escobar for his disrespect by sending him to the hospital.
Escobar returned weeks later to clobber D’Angelo with a pair of brass knuckles to cost him the NXT Tag Team Titles, sparking a mutiny as he and the rest of Legado del Fantasma walked away from “The Don.”
Seething, D’Angelo agreed to meet Escobar one-on-one, where the two heads of their families agreed to one final Street Fight. If Escobar wins, Legado del Fantasma is free from The D’Angelo Family, but if “The Don” wins, then Escobar will be banned from NXT 2.0.
Giovanni Vinci looks to add a new accessory to his waist in title match with Carmelo Hayes
Carmelo Hayes has beaten them all during his reign as the self-described “A Champ.”
Looking to produce yet another show-stealing match, Hayes offered an open challenge for his NXT North American Title to whomever was brave enough to step in the ring first.
Giovanni Vinci was the first to jump at the opportunity, but he was not quick enough, as Nathan Frazer raced past him on the entrance ramp to slide into the ring and steal his chance.
Vinci made sure Frazer didn’t win the title, and he was quick to ensure that he didn’t lose his opportunity either, stepping to Hayes the following week for another chance at the North American Title.
Hayes scoffed at the challenge but accepted. Can Vinci add a golden accessory to his already stylish wardrobe?
Former NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions square off in one-on-one match
Close friends turned bitter rivals.
After
Cora Jade welcomed her friend
Roxanne Perez to NXT 2.0, the two rising Superstars quickly made waves and captured the NXT Women’s Tag Team Titles from Toxic Attraction.
Their budding partnership only lasted a week, though, as Perez cashed in her NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament contract for an NXT Title Match with Mandy Rose. That’s when Jade revealed her true colors, blindsiding Perez with the Women’s Tag Team Title to cost her the match.
The following week, Jade tossed her title in the trash, claiming Perez’s friendship was a lie and that she came to steal Jade’s spotlight.
Now the former friends square off for a heated singles match as Perez looks to earn retribution for Jade’s betrayal.
