Tony D'Angelo revealed the identity of his new associates this week - Troy "Two Dimes" Donovan and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. The timing of the attack led fans to speculate that Tony D'Angelo was involved in the incident.
Escobar was assaulted by the two men during his match against Carmelo Hayes to earn a shot at the NXT North American Championship. Thus nearly confirming speculation that D'Angelo's new partners might be the masterminds behind it. D'Angelo took to Twitter to state that he was not involved.
"Very unfortunate thing that happened to Santos. He’s a stand up guy. Maybe he made enemies with the wrong person. But that’s only speculation, what do I know? #TheDon."
