Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo Betrays Tony D’Angelo at NXT Stand & Deliver – NXT Stand & Deliver 2025 saw one of its most shocking moments when Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo betrayed Tony D’Angelo in the middle of the ring, resulting in a huge victory for DarkState.
In a six-man tag team match that had been built on rising tensions within The D’Angelo Family, the simmering distrust finally boiled over. Teaming with Luca Crusifino and Tony D’Angelo, Stacks appeared committed to staying loyal to “The Don.” However, after a match filled with subtle miscommunications and suspicious hesitation, Lorenzo delivered a decisive low blow to Tony D’Angelo, stunning the crowd and leaving his longtime ally vulnerable.
DarkState—comprised of Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, and Saquon Shugars—capitalized immediately. The group hit their trademark triple Powerbomb on Tony D’Angelo, securing the pinfall and a significant win on a high-profile stage. Cutler James was also present at ringside for DarkState but did not get physically involved.
Despite helping DarkState win, Lorenzo didn’t join in on their celebration. Instead, he remained on the entrance ramp, watching silently as the trio celebrated in the ring. The moment raised questions about his motivations—was this a permanent split, or just a personal act of rebellion against Tony?
Backstage reactions mirrored the confusion in the arena. Luca Crusifino and Adriana Rizzo appeared visibly distraught at ringside, seemingly blindsided by Lorenzo’s betrayal. Meanwhile, Tony D’Angelo was left laid out in the ring, perhaps signaling the end—or at least a dramatic transformation—of The D’Angelo Family as fans know it.
With DarkState’s rise continuing and Stacks now firmly at the center of controversy, the fallout from this betrayal is sure to unfold over the coming weeks on NXT programming.
