Tony D’Angelo wins Heritage Cup trophy on WWE NXT
Tony D’Angelo is the new Heritage Cup Champion.
D’Angelo pinned Charlie Dempsey two falls to one in the main event of this week’s NXT to win the Heritage Cup Trophy for the first time. The finish had Damon Kemp and Myles Borne come out to attack Stacks and Luca Crusifino at ringside. D’Angelo took both men out but then walked into Dempsey, who bridged D’Angelo for a near fall. D’Angelo then hit his perfect plex finish for the victory.
On last week’s NXT, the show ended with D’Angelo and his family kidnapping Borne and Kemp, preventing Dempsey from invoking the Catch Clause rule that allowed any member of the No Quarter Catch Crew to defend the cup. In the follow-up on this week’s show, Ava fined D’Angelo 20,000 dollars for his actions. D’Angelo gave Ava an envelope with money in it, promising there would be no funny business in the main event.
Dempsey had held the title for 78 days, defeating Noam Dar back on the February 27 edition of NXT.
