Tony D\u2019Angelo has held the WWE NXT<\/a> Championship for a few months and his upcoming title defense at The Great American Bash may prove to be his biggest test yet.<\/p>\n

Naraku burst onto the NXT scene<\/a> in May and immediately declared his intention to win the championship. He earned the right to be the No. 1 contender when he defeated fellow NXT newcomer Mason Rook. On June 28, D\u2019Angelo and Naraku will square off with the title on the line.<\/p>\n

D\u2019Angelo suggested to Fox News Digital in a recent interview that he\u2019s keeping his antenna up after his latest interaction with Naraku. The challenger presented the official match contract to him unsigned. D\u2019Angelo signed his name on the dotted line but was told he would have to wait a bit longer before Naraku signed his name.<\/p>\n

“I mean, kinda. But I also took it as he might be second-guessing himself,” he said. “He might be a little afraid of Tony D. He doesn\u2019t know himself if he wants to step in the ring with me, yet. Yeah, that\u2019s a possibility.”<\/p>\n

D\u2019Angelo said he expected Naraku to go after him immediately given his reputation.<\/p>\n

Naraku came to NXT from New Japan Pro-Wrestling where he wrestled under the name Evil and was the IWGP heavyweight champion, IWGP intercontinental champion and a four-time Never openweight champion. Naraku\u2019s reputation precedes him.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019ll just say I\u2019m not surprised. He came in from Japan. I don\u2019t think he would make that long trek just to hang out. Of course, he\u2019s gonna come for the big dog,” D\u2019Angelo told Fox News Digital. “I get it. To be expected, but the thing that threw me off, I\u2019ll be honest, is the whole, oh he was trying to protect me and my title. I didn\u2019t quite understand it but after going home and thinking about it, I was like, OK, this is just mind games. That he\u2019s messing with me, trying to portray the honorable guy as (opposed) to, \u2018If I\u2019m gonna beat you, I want to beat you at your best,\u2019 thing.<\/p>\n

“I\u2019m not quite sold on that yet, especially this past Tuesday where he brought me to his place of business and went to sign a contract and he hadn\u2019t even signed it himself, which \u2026 sketch. We\u2019ll see. He said next week, in due time. So, I got my head on a swivel, to say the least.”<\/p>\n

D\u2019Angelo said he\u2019s expecting some kind of shenanigans going into the match given that Naraku was a part of the House of Torture. D\u2019Angelo, who was the don of NXT at one point, has now proven he can do it alone. He put the challenge to Naraku to prove it as well.<\/p>\n

“Absolutely,” he said when asked about any funny business potentially coming his way. “I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if something like that happens. Like I said, this isn\u2019t new to me. I have a past life. I used to be the boss of a family and maybe, I was a part of some shenanigans like that a time or two. I\u2019d be a fool not to expect that. I\u2019m fully aware of his little minions that he had in his past life. I\u2019m expecting the unexpected.”<\/p>\n

D\u2019Angelo and Naraku\u2019s title match is one of a few matches on the card.<\/p>\n

Lola Vice will put her NXT Women\u2019s Championship on the line against Kendal Grey<\/a>, Myles Borne will defend the NXT North American Championship against Tavion Heights, Wren Sinclair will face a challenger for the WWE Women\u2019s Speed Championship and Saquon Shugars takes on Dion Lennox.<\/p>\n

The Great American Bash will be the first NXT premium live event<\/a> exclusively on the CW Network at 8 p.m. ET.<\/p>\n

“I think it\u2019s great. Like you said, it\u2019s the first ever PLE on the CW Network,” D\u2019Angelo said. “We\u2019ll be reaching a larger audience. I think that kind of stuff is very important for WWE but also NXT \u2013 us being the \u2018third brand\u2019 in my opinion, \u2018developmental\u2019 in others. I think it\u2019s good to get the up and coming talent in front of as many faces as we possibly can.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
