"…NXT will always be my home, thank you and goodnight."
Having finished his final (slightly uncharacteristically sentimental) promo as a member of the NXT roster, Tony D'Angelo takes one last look at the NXT crowd before heading backstage where the rest of the former D'Angelo Family were waiting.
Although they had gone their separate ways on camera, the four of them were actually closer than ever.
"That was so beautiful," Adriana says, dragging both Stacks and Luca by their hands.
"I meant every word," Tony begins, gesturing to the backstage area behind them, "This will always be my home and while I couldn't say it out there for obvious reasons: the three of you will always be my family; in more ways than one."
Luca smiles fondly, "And we all love you more than words can express."
"You both took what I wanted to say," Stacks huffs, slightly annoyed.
Adriana rolls her eyes, "Oh cut it out, you were saying a lot more before."
"It doesn't feel like it's enough, but I'll try," Stacks sighs before adding, "We'll miss you. Hopefully when our call ups finally happen, we'll all end up on the same show so we can be together again," he finishes as Rizz and Luca both nod in agreement.
Barely able to keep it together, Tony pulls all three of them into a tight hug, knowing no matter what happens they'd always have each other.
