Matters sure got intense between Tony D’Angelo and Santos Escobar as their turf war escalated on the May 11 episode of WWE NXT 2.0.
Last week, Escobar abducted D’Angelo’s consigliere and Tony gave him a receipt as his Wise Guys kidnapped Cruz Del Toro. The two bosses of NXT proceeded to exchange heated words, and they agreed to clash in the ring on the May 17 episode.

Plus, NXT Champion Bron Breakker will answer Joe Gacy’s message. After the champion defeated Gacy to retain the gold, masked men attacked the powerhouse and helped the challenger abduct him. On Tuesday, Gacy invited Breakker to be part of his movement and warned that he’d have pain coming his way if he refused. Breakker will return to the show next week to share his thoughts on the matter.
