On this week’s edition of WWE NXT, Shawn Spears defeated Tony D’Angelo to win the NXT North American Title, his first WWE singles title.
Despite his best efforts, D’Angelo’s recent back problems ultimately brought him to ruin. Both sides interfered throughout the match, resulting in a fight between D’Angelo’s family and Spears’ squad. The pivotal moment occurred when D’Angelo was unintentionally knocked onto a steel chair, further hurting his back.
