WWE NXT Match Revealed to Crown Vacant NXT Heritage Cup After Noam Dar Injury

The NXT Heritage Cup just got a huge shake-up—and now, family ties are being put to the ultimate test.

NXT General Manager Ava announced that Noam Dar has been forced to relinquish the Heritage Cup Championship due to injury. But the real twist came later when Luca Crusafino made it official: Tony D’Angelo will face Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo for the vacant Heritage Cup this Tuesday on WWE NXT.

Crusafino, known for playing mind games of his own, posted the announcement with a message that turned heads.

“You wanted me to prove my loyalty,” he wrote alongside a video confirming the bout. “You don’t have to trust what I say, trust the move I just made. That’s loyalty.”

Stacks was originally scheduled to compete for the vacant cup, but his opponent was up in the air—until now. Instead of a mystery challenger, Stacks will have to go toe-to-toe with his own Don in Tony D’Angelo.

The match adds even more drama to an already complicated situation within The Family. With gold on the line, loyalty will be tested, and the question remains—will this be business… or personal?
