"I'll be back" - Former member of Tony D'Angelo's stable comments after WWE release
WWE NXT superstar Tony D'Angelo's associate, Troy "Two Dimes" Donovan, was recently let go by the company on June 11.
D'Angelo unveiled his two new associates, Troy "Two Dimes" Donovan and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, on the April 27, 2022, episode of NXT. They were involved in an assault on Santos Escobar during his match against Carmelo Hayes.
D'Angelo later expanded his family when he, along with Two Dimes and Stacks, defeated Legado del Fantasma's Santos Escobar, Joaquin Wilde, and Cruz Del Toro at NXT: In Your House. Following the match's stipulation, Escobar, along with the rest of the group, were absolved into D'Angelo's group.
Following his release, Donovan took to Twitter to break his silence. The Don of NXT's former footsoldier thanked those who reached out to him and believed he would be back in Vince McMahon's company sometime soon.
"Thank you to everyone who’s reached out. Mistakes happen and lessons are learned. A bump in the road doesn’t define me though. I’ll be back."
