The rivalry between Pete Dunne and Tony D’Angelo epitomizes Vengeance Day.
“The Baddest Man” and “The Made Man” have traded brutal strikes since crossing paths for the first time at NXT WarGames, breaking one another’s hands and championship hopes with crowbars and cricket bats. D’Angelo has beaten Dunne black and blue with his trusty crowbar, using it to shatter his hand across the announce table before clubbing The BruiserWeight with the weapon to cap off a brutal Crowbar on a Pole Match.
After “eulogizing” Dunne, D’Angelo shot his shot for the North American Championship in a No. 1 Contender’s Match but had his title pursuits dashed as Dunne returned the favor by smashing D’Angelo’s hand with a cricket bat.
With so much animosity, the rivalry will be finished the same way it started: inside a steel cage.
But that wasn't enough to satisfy Dunne as The BruiserWeight upped the ante after a failed attack by D'Angelo by adding an array of weapons to the punishing structure.
Tune in to NXT Vengeance Day on Wednesday, Feb. 15, at 8/7 C on Syfy to see which Superstar will “handle their business by any means necessary.”
