29-year-old star retains title at recent WWE event

A young star recently defended his title at a WWE event. The 29-year-old faced off against a current champion.

Tony D'Angelo has come a long way since a couple of years ago and is now one of the most popular stars on the white and gold brand's roster. D'Angelo is also a main event player who challenged for the NXT Championship earlier this year.

Although he could not win the WWE NXT Championship, Tony D'Angelo captured the NXT Heritage Cup from No Quarter Catch Crew not long ago. A couple of weeks ago, Nathan Frazer, who is one-half of the WWE NXT Tag Team Champions, showed interest in challenging for the title, and he was granted his match tonight.

Nathan Frazer showed why he is known for his speed, quickly gaining the first pinfall in just 40 seconds. However, Tony D'Angelo came back and earned the second pinfall. The time ran out in the third and fifth rounds, leaving the score 1-1.

Frazer came close to winning the match in the fifth round after hitting the Phoenix Splash, but the time ran out before he could get the pinfall. At the end of the sixth round, D'Angelo won with a towering Uranage and retained his title.

It will be interesting to see who will be next in line to challenge Tony D'Angelo for the NXT Heritage Cup.
