It appears that Tony D’Angelo is poised to make his Tony D’Angelo WWE main roster debut, potentially joining Raw or SmackDown before the close of 2025. This information comes from WrestleVotes Radio, which reports that WWE’s creative team has recently been discussing the possibility of moving the NXT star up to the main roster.
WrestleVotes Radio further noted on their latest episode that D’Angelo’s name is not just among possible future signees but is actively being considered for a televised debut.
Character Adaptation and Continued Persona
Should Tony D’Angelo ascend to WWE’s main roster, plans indicate he will retain the mobster-inspired character that has defined his presence in NXT, albeit with some slight modifications to fit the broader audience. His established persona as a mobster figure has become a recognizable and entertaining fixture within the NXT brand.
“We’re told his mobster-style gimmick is expected to remain at this time, though it will likely be slightly refined before he hits either Raw or SmackDown. D’Angelo, a former NXT North American Champion, is said to have a strong work ethic and standout personality traits that many within the company speak highly of,”
WrestleVotes reported.
Background and Impact on WWE’s Future
Since debuting in 2021, Tony D’Angelo has established himself as a key figure in NXT, leading The D’Angelo Family stable, which has earned attention for its entertaining performances. His reputation backstage and the support from fans suggest he is ready for a bigger platform.
“Sources indicate Tony D’Angelo’s name has been circulating within creative recently, with some expecting him to debut on the main roster before year’s end,”
the outlet confirmed.
Moving to WWE’s main roster could significantly raise D’Angelo’s profile, allowing him to expand his character’s storyline and engage with a larger audience on Raw or SmackDown. This transition reflects WWE’s interest in capitalizing on talent that blends strong on-screen presence with reliable professionalism behind the scenes.
