Summary

Tony D'Angelo is scheduled to appear on the April 28 episode of WWE NXT, where he is expected to issue a challenge.

The announcement follows last week's show, when the NXT Champion received a mystery box marked with the Japanese kanji for "War." That tease now appears set to pay off on Tuesday night's episode.

WWE NXT has also advertised Shiloh Hill vs. Ricky Saints, Myles Borne defending the NXT North American Championship against Saquon Shugars, BirthRight vs. E.K. Prosper and Dorian Van Dux, and Lizzy Rain's debut.

What Tony D'Angelo's segment could set up on NXT

Because Tony D'Angelo is being promoted specifically to issue a challenge, Tuesday's segment looks like the next step in whatever direction NXT is taking the champion after the mystery box angle. Even without a named opponent yet, the tease gives D'Angelo's appearance more weight than a standard talking segment.

It also adds another focal point to a card that already has a title match and a debut announcement. Elsewhere in WWE's orbit, the company also drew attention during WrestleMania week when The Undertaker crashed Kill Tony and chokeslammed Tony Hinchcliffe.
