The battle for control of NXT 2.0 has raged for weeks between Legado del Fantasma and The D’Angelo Family.
After Tony D’Angelo was “made,” the tensions between “The Don” and Santos Escobar steadily rose until Legado del Fantasma was forced to join D’Angelo after losing their Six-Man Tag Team Match at NXT In Your House.
Escobar, Cruz Del Toro, Joaquin Wilde and Elektra Lopez gritted their teeth and reluctantly followed D’Angelo’s orders, but The Emperor refused to fall in line. D’Angelo punished Escobar for his disrespect by sending him to the hospital.
Escobar returned weeks later to clobber D’Angelo with a pair of brass knuckles to cost him the NXT Tag Team Titles, sparking a mutiny as he and the rest of Legado del Fantasma walked away from “The Don.”
Seething, D’Angelo agreed to meet Escobar one-on-one, where the two heads of their families agreed to one final Street Fight. If Escobar wins, Legado del Fantasma is free from The D’Angelo Family, but if “The Don” wins, then Escobar will be banned from NXT 2.0.
Who will walk away victorious, and how will it impact the future of NXT 2.0? Find out at NXT Heatwave Tuesday at 8/7 C on USA.
