Summary

Tony D’Angelo said he feels ready if WWE calls him to the main roster, while also noting there is value in continuing to grow as a featured name in NXT.

Appearing on Busted Open during media rounds ahead of NXT at Madison Square Garden, D’Angelo addressed whether he should stay in NXT longer to further develop his current run.

Quote from Tony D’Angelo

"I have all the confidence in myself right now. I think if I got the call tomorrow, I’d be just fine. It doesn’t hurt to hang on to the NXT Title for a little bit and kind of develop as the champion and being the guy on the brand. That could only help, but, yeah man, I don’t think I’m out of my realm getting called up at all really. I think I could hang with the best of ‘em."

NXT Title Picture Before Stand & Deliver

D’Angelo is also set for the contract signing involving Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, and NXT Champion Joe Hendry ahead of their NXT Championship Fatal 4-Way at Stand & Deliver.

That timing matters. D’Angelo publicly saying he is prepared for the next level, while still being tied directly to the NXT title scene, keeps him positioned as both a present-tense player on Tuesdays and a believable call-up candidate if WWE decides to move him.

His confidence also lines up with the momentum he described in his return stretch with support from Shawn Michaels and WWE coaches, which has become part of the broader arc around his current push.
