00:00The following is a Family Business Triple Threat Match.
00:29From out of New York, we're getting at 265, Channing Stats Lorenzo.
00:38Love for me, but no love for you.
00:40It's good for me, but it's good for you.
00:41There ain't no time before you do it.
00:43It's my time, so we're over.
00:44Get to Philadelphia in August, the family will be no more.
00:53It's all about the business.
00:57And his opponent's first, from Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh,
01:09Pennsylvania ranks 246 pounds, Luka Crucifino.
01:17It has come to this.
01:19A family broken.
01:21This matchup is presented by Progressive.
01:25It's the Family Business Triple Threat Match, live next on NXT.
01:31Time for tonight's NXT Focus, presented by Progressive.
01:43The following is a Battle Royal.
01:48The winner will receive a championship match at Clash in Paris.
01:56What a performance by Jordan.
02:03Oh, and a spear by Nikki.
02:05No nice of Lash Legend.
02:09And Jax is eliminated.
02:12And we're down to Stephanie and Lash.
02:16Will it be Legend?
02:18Will it be Bacare?
02:19Somebody could pick up the biggest winner of their career here tonight.
02:22And now Stephanie over the top of them.
02:25Devil's Coast.
02:26Legend eliminated.
02:27Stephanie Bacare is going to Paris.
02:29I'm here with the woman who had a dominant performance at Evolution lasting until the final two of the Battle Royal, Lash Legend.
02:47That's right.
02:48Lash Legend, the bougie bully, talked a big game, but backed it up in my city of ATL.
02:55And let's not forget, I mean, I tossed out Zelina Vega, Nikki Bella, Nia Jax.
03:00Girl, I damn near won the whole thing.
03:02Just saying.
03:03And how do you build on this from here?
03:04Well, on Sunday at Slammiversary, one woman will walk out with both the NXT women and the TNA knockout titles.
03:13So, on Tuesday in Houston, I'll be there to greet the double champ.
03:17And if it's Masha, then she's going to meet the one and only.
03:20And if it's JC, then she can get to-
03:22Miss Parker.
03:23Miss Parker.
03:24Miss Parker.
03:25You remember hearing that on Sunday, baby?
03:26No.
03:27Because I did.
03:28See, what's crazy is that you're not the only woman from NXT that made an impression in that Battle Royal.
03:33Hell, I threw out a future Hall of Famer, Natalya, okay?
03:36And had the whole crowd chanting, my name.
03:39So, if it's anyone that's going to confront Masha or JC in Houston, it's me.
03:44Clock it.
03:45The delusion.
03:49Girl, bye.
03:50Ugh.
03:52Never a dull moment for our general manager, Ava.
03:58I can only imagine the emotions going through Tony D'Angelo in this very moment.
04:15And making his way to the ring, from Chicago, Illinois, weighing in at 240 pounds, the dawn of NXT, Tony D'Angelo.
04:40Again, this is a triple threat match, first fall, first submission.
04:47That is the victor.
04:49Tony D'Angelo, such a decorated competitor.
04:52As we've learned tonight, Tag Team Champion, Heritage Cup Champion, North American Champion.
04:58And going back and watching all of that, seeing the journey of the family.
05:03And, well, I just had myself a little bit of a flashback.
05:07Let me get off topic, Graves.
05:08I was about to ask you a question to Tony D'Angelo's debut in NXT.
05:12He did the exact same thing.
05:13He put that hat on the post.
05:15That was before he was the Don.
05:17So maybe D'Angelo will be going back to his roots.
05:20But with everything I just mentioned, Graves, he did it with the family by his side.
05:24That has to mean something.
05:26To Tony D'Angelo, sure, it means the world.
05:29You mentioned the emotion Tony's probably feeling.
05:31The problem is Tony's feeling this emotion because he's been the first kid
05:35voted off the playground, okay?
05:37This family is nonsense.
05:38It's holding him back.
05:39It's holding Luka back.
05:40It's holding Stax back.
05:42I am probably the happiest guy in the world that the three of these guys
05:45are gonna fight through the dissolution of the family tonight.
05:48Well, Tony D'Angelo right now almost fighting two on one.
05:51And you gotta imagine it's every man for themselves.
05:55But is it truly though, Brooker, every man for themselves?
05:58You can't tell me that there's maybe no side deals going on?
06:01I mean, there's a lot of questions.
06:02I don't think of these side deals.
06:03I mean, it's gonna come down to one man here tonight.
06:05Who's gonna be the final boss, so to speak?
06:08My thing is, who's to blame for this?
06:10Who's to blame for this?
06:12Who's to blame for this?
06:13Tony D'Angelo is the blame.
06:14Exactly my point.
06:15I feel this all.
06:16Hey, look, let me ask you a question.
06:18This is gonna come out of left field.
06:19What's this business about?
06:21It's about checks and checks.
06:23It's about making money.
06:24It's not about hanging out with your best friends and pretending to be a family.
06:28It's not about bringing your business and your car between towns into the ring.
06:33It's not about pals.
06:34Look at Stax looking for his old trusty crowbar.
06:37Tony, we're gonna do that.
06:41These two men who know each other so well.
06:43It was Stax who got looked right in the eyes by Tony D.
06:47Tony D said, Stax, I trust you with my life.
06:49I'm gonna tell you something, Vic.
06:50In my opinion, if Tony D'Angelo focused on Tony D'Angelo being the-
06:55D'Angelo might have former NXT champion next to his name.
07:02That's how talented Tony D is.
07:04He needs to let this nonsense go, focused on number one.
07:07You just rattled off Tony D's accomplishment.
07:10What about Stax?
07:11What about standing Stax?
07:12What about-
07:13What about-
07:14What about the little brother?
07:15What about-
07:16I'm glad you brought that up because Booker, you had fights with Stevie Ray.
07:19He was older than you, just like Tony's older than Stax.
07:22So you see where Stax is coming from.
07:24Exactly, that's what I'm talking about.
07:25The little brother don't wanna be the little brother forever, man.
07:28Give him a little piece of the action.
07:30That's what Stax Lorenzo wants.
07:32Come on, man.
07:34What about-
07:35Here's the difference.
07:36Booker T and Stevie Ray are actually brothers.
07:38They didn't just decide to make a bond.
07:40They have a bond in his closest brotherhood.
07:42They grew up with each other.
07:44They ran the schools.
07:45They were on the docks with one another.
07:46I hope Luka Cruz-Defino has a successful career so he can stop buying his suit,
07:50three for a hundred bucks.
07:51He told me he said it himself.
07:52I mean, Stax has been backing him up ever since they were teenagers.
07:56Right.
07:57And what did that get Stax?
07:58Exactly my point.
07:59What do you mean, what did he get Stax?
08:00He's here right here in NXT.
08:01He got him nothing.
08:02He got him nothing.
08:03That's what he's got.
08:04Luka hanging in the bound, big kick.
08:06It's about to get Cruz-Defino disbarred.
08:09I will say for Luka, a victory here would be a statement in his career.
08:14Who will survive this family business triple threat?
08:19We've been talking about the family.
08:34One person I have not mentioned is Rizzo.
08:37Your heart has to go out to Rizzo, Book.
08:39You gotta be wondering what she's thinking.
08:41She's doing some casualty of war right now, as far as this situation.
08:44She has to head in the long run.
08:47She's gonna have to think like Griselda Blanco.
08:50They start calling their own shots.
08:52That's the way I see it.
08:53A good deep cut there, Book.
08:54I appreciate that.
08:55Well, certainly did have the maturity to get a sit down with everyone.
09:00That being these three is- Listen, I bet you Rizzo's as tired as anybody.
09:06Rizzo's been trying to be the glue to hold these knuckleheads together,
09:10when they should all be individual stars.
09:12That is.
09:13That is.
09:14Is that what Rizzo gets out of this?
09:17I don't argue that.
09:18All right, Book.
09:19Who's the blade?
09:20Who's the blade?
09:21D'Angelo.
09:22He's already said that.
09:23You've already- Cover here.
09:24Cover for Tony D'Angelo, hook and leg and a kick out.
09:26So Booker, where did it all go wrong?
09:28Where did it go wrong for the end of the battle?
09:30When Tony D got locked up, Stax had all the work put on him.
09:34I'm talking about lawyers.
09:35I'm talking about prosecutors.
09:36I'm talking about making deals with this man.
09:38I'm talking about putting a commissary on his books, all of that.
09:41That's what I'm talking about.
09:43Making sure he's got Jack Mack.
09:44You know how hard it is to live without honey buns, Vic?
09:47I don't want to imagine that.
09:48But yeah, I get what you're saying, Book.
09:50He didn't have any Mack Jacks.
09:52I mean- Jack Mack.
09:53Jack Mack.
09:54Jack Mack.
09:55Big sent out from Luca Crucifino.
10:07I'm gonna let you breathe for a second.
10:09Corey and I are gonna get back into this triple threat match because it's about family business.
10:12And for Luca Crucifino right now, he's been so instrumental in getting paperwork pushed through.
10:17And he's trying to do it now on his own two feet.
10:20Who are the other superstars on the roster, Vic, that you know of, that joined WWE to be a paper pusher?
10:25Think about it.
10:26To push a pencil?
10:27Exactly.
10:28How many? No, they wanna be stars, Crucifino included.
10:30Which is why he needs to free himself from the shackles of his family and find out what he's truly made of as a superstar.
10:36Just like Stax did a few months ago.
10:38So you buy into the anger that both these men, who are taking it to each other right now, have towards Tony D'Angelo off the double stop, into the cover, and the Don, breaking things up.
10:48Wow.
10:49I wholeheartedly believe in the athletic abilities of all three of these gentlemen.
10:54I think all three of them have what it takes to be stars in this game.
10:58But they're not gonna get there together.
11:00Tonight's about who takes the first step out of that.
11:02Not under Tony D's leadership.
11:04Let's just say that.
11:05Okay, well, that's what Stax said.
11:06Stax believed that Tony was making the family look weak.
11:10You obviously agree with that.
11:11You know why?
11:12Because he wasn't a contract.
11:13He lost his mojo.
11:14That's what happened.
11:15Come on.
11:16The cross face right now by Stax.
11:18How great would it feel for the Underboss to make the Don tap?
11:22And in comes Luka Crucifino.
11:24Crucifino locking in.
11:25We got a triple submission in this triple threat match.
11:28NXT Universe trying to, I don't necessarily know whose corner they're in,
11:34rallying behind all three of these men.
11:36And turning right back around into his favor is Channing Stax Lorenzo.
11:41Thank you, thank you.
11:42Give him that respect, please.
11:44The current Heritage Cup champion.
11:46Please.
11:47Who stands tall here on NXT?
11:50Trust issues, betrayal, backroom deals.
11:57I don't mean the NFL owners meetings.
11:59I mean the life of the family.
12:01The life that Tony D has been bothered by for several months.
12:05All because of this man, the former Underboss, Channing Stax Lorenzo.
12:10No, no, no.
12:11Do you know who cover here by Stax?
12:12Hook of the leg and a kick out by the dive.
12:14Do you know who is to blame for all the issues?
12:17It's pretty much .
12:18You already said Tony D'Angelo six times.
12:19Tony D.
12:20I'm gonna tell you again.
12:21Tony D.
12:22Because if it weren't for Tony D'Angelo acting as an anchor.
12:26An anchor?
12:27For Stax and for Crucifino.
12:29And I mean an anchor that holds a ship in place, Vic, not stability.
12:34I'm talking about dragging them down, stopping them from reaching their full
12:37potential.
12:38That's what D'Angelo has done to these two gentlemen.
12:41I agree.
12:42Well, Tony D'Angelo, he helped Stax become a champion here.
12:45They're a tag team champion.
12:46And then he threw the cup in the damn river.
12:48Well, that was after everything Stax has done, he did that.
12:50What do you mean?
12:51It's not like he just chose to do that.
12:52Well, guys.
12:53Vick's starting to break down one more time.
12:55Again, there are no disqualifications, there are no count outs,
12:57Triple Threat Rules, first superstar to gain pinfall or submission.
13:00Yes, there it was.
13:01In the center of the ring.
13:02I think this could be a massive night for
13:08Chan and Stax Lorenzo, my God.
13:11That was quite the callback.
13:13We've seen Tony D'Angelo do that when they were teammates,
13:17let alone wanting to rip each other apart.
13:19Well, Tony needs to let this out, unleash the lion inside.
13:23When it comes to being a lion, it stacks that young lion, he wants to beat the alpha.
13:27He wants his strikes.
13:30Now where the hell is he going, he's crawling away.
13:32That's the guy you guys are praising, Channing Stax Lorenzo, who's trying to crawl away.
13:36He just evaded a big blow, man.
13:37He just evaded a bow.
13:38The crowbar.
13:40I don't think the crowbar made contact, luckily, for D'Angelo.
13:45That certainly was, D'Angelo certainly made contact with his steel steps.
13:50And wise of stacks to get D'Angelo back into the ring.
13:53The only place he can win this matchup.
13:55Dropping the dot, Underboss hooks the inside leg deep, and a kick out by Tony D.
14:01It didn't have to go this far.
14:02All Channing Stax Lorenzo wanted was a little respect after all the loyalty.
14:09All the years, man.
14:11Come on.
14:12I thought he got that loyalty when he was made the Underboss.
14:14Underboss, Underboss.
14:16He's not at the top of the family, he was Tony D'Angelo, he was the Don.
14:20You can't have two Dons.
14:22Come on, man, who could have gave him his own wings?
14:24Who could have gave him his own point in the seat?
14:25Sitting at the White House.
14:27That goes back to what Corey was saying.
14:30He doesn't want to be the Underboss, he's wanting to be the Don on his own.
14:33But he should fall in line, and he might pay the price here tonight.
14:37I think Lorenzo wants-
14:38My goodness.
14:40Lorenzo wants to be a champion.
14:42Lorenzo wants to be respected.
14:43It's not about nonsense titles, in a sense that he's the Don, he's the Boss,
14:47he's the Underboss, he's the Overbite.
14:49Either way, it's about being a champion.
14:52And now D'Angelo.
14:53Goddamn.
14:54Double German suplex.
14:56That's the type of power that means you need to take D'Angelo seriously.
14:59Cover.
15:01And Crucifino showcasing some resiliency.
15:04Don't get me wrong, while I blame D'Angelo for the state of the family,
15:07I also think Tony's holding himself back.
15:10If Tony D ran the family like he's doing right now,
15:13with this type of authority, we wouldn't have this problem right there.
15:16We wouldn't have this problem.
15:18Like I said, Tony lost his mojo.
15:19He lost his mojo, man.
15:21Let's all come down to this family business triple threat match.
15:26Cracks in the family form for so long.
15:29Channing Stacks, Lorenzo showed his true colors, his real side.
15:33But it's Luca Crucifino looking to stand on his own, looking for a statement here tonight.
15:40And there's no doubt, guys, all joking aside, Luca wins, it's the biggest win of his career.
15:45No doubt about it, Crucifino took a big step in the right direction by delivering that
15:49power bomb, taking out Tony D and Stacks.
15:53And here comes Luca.
15:54I am personally very curious to see what Crucifino truly made him.
15:59What he's capable of, standing on his own two feet, rather than in the shadow of Tony D.
16:03He's not just an accountant, man.
16:05The guy got a lot of talent.
16:06Well, he's not an accountant, he's a lawyer.
16:08But right now, he's trying to stand back on his feet.
16:10And there's the Don planning the underboss.
16:14There we go, big boot by Luca.
16:16Lawyers account too.
16:17I'm sure they can, he's a smart guy.
16:19And right now, he's smart enough to get back on his feet to go over the top rope to get
16:22back into the match and then straight forward into it.
16:25He can do a lot of things, book.
16:27Look at him, the guy, like I said, the guy got a lot of talent.
16:29And the thing is, we just haven't seen his full potential because of one man.
16:33One man, Tony D'Angelo.
16:36Agreed, look at this, hooking the inside leg.
16:38Look at this offense, into the cover to win for Luca.
16:42The Heritage Cup champion getting that left shoulder just off the mat.
16:46Think about this, if you're Luca Crucifino, you have been yelled at,
16:49you have been told what to do, you have been bossed around by Tony D'Angelo for
16:53months, if not longer.
16:55This is an opportunity for Luca to stand on his own, to grab the spotlight and
16:59say, hey, WWE Universe, time to start believing in me.
17:03Super kick under the jaw, rocking D'Angelo.
17:05And shot him, baby, double up.
17:08Back to all the time Zang team, Luca just got dumped by the Underboss.
17:13Underboss into the cover, Stax looking for the win.
17:16And D'Angelo's shoulder off the mat, Channing Stax.
17:20Not the Underboss.
17:23Give him his respect.
17:24I don't have enough time to get that whole phrase in there with all the action going on,
17:28so I apologize.
17:29Channing Stax Lorenzo, the Heritage Cup champion, is crawling over to his trusty sidekick and friend.
17:36The Crow, Luca saw it, sensed it, and interrupted it.
17:41What's Luca thinking?
17:46I guarantee somewhere in the back of Luca's mind, he's thinking about the desert in
17:51Vegas, all the times he's been mistreated.
17:53Who ruined the family?
17:54Who ruined the family?
17:55Who ruined the family?
17:56Whoa.
17:57Yeah, did you hear what Luca said?
17:58Luca told Stax, he ruined the family.
18:03You get a new family, happens all the time.
18:05Don't worry about these guys.
18:07No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
18:09You walk in the shadows.
18:11You always did.
18:13Whoa.
18:14Tony D.
18:15Get some help out here.
18:17Just speared.
18:19What's up?
18:20Threw the perch over here to our left.
18:24They just tossed him out.
18:26He looked like DJ Jensen Jeff.
18:28D'Angelo is fired up.
18:33Guys, it has been a while since I've seen that look in the Don's eyes.
18:37Tony, watch out.
18:40Back from the ring, another one.
18:47Spinebuster, D'Angelo into the cover.
18:50One, two, three.
18:52D'Angelo stands tall on family, business.
18:57Here is the winner, Tony D'Angelo.
19:04D'Angelo Graves has proved why he is the Don.
19:09This is nothing.
19:10Anybody ever doubted the power of the Don?
19:12Tony D'Angelo, who put Channing Stax Lorenzo through the perch.
19:17Then follow up by spiking Luka through our announce table.
19:21And then, the finale.
19:24A thunderous, spinebuster, center of the ring.
19:28Tonight belongs to Tony D'Angelo.
19:32And in my opinion, this should be a new beginning.
19:35A fresh start for the man who once declared himself the Don.
19:39The world needs to be on the lookout for Tony D'Angelo, the man.
19:44What does the future hold for Tony D'Angelo and the rest of what was his family?
19:52But let's go back to last week.
19:54It was Charlie Dempsey versus Tavion Heights.
