In a plot twist that could only be scripted by a true maestro of mobster mythology, former WWE Cruiserweight Champion and self-proclaimed “real Italian in the room” Nunzio has officially returned to the WWE ring! Yes, you heard that right. After a 16-year sabbatical, Nunzio – the pint-sized powerhouse of the “Full Blooded Italians” – has descended upon “WWE NXT,” and the crowd is more pumped than a Jersey Shore gym session.
Nunzio kicked off his return the only way a good Italian uncle could: with an annoyed voicemail. Reportedly left on NXT North American Champion Tony D’Angelo’s phone last week, Nunzio’s message received the classic mob family treatment: unanswered and ignored. When D’Angelo casually dismissed the call, Nunzio had no choice but to show up in person. “I gotta show this kid respect? Nah, he shows me respect,” Nunzio reportedly muttered backstage while adjusting his suit and prepping his infamous finger jab.
The scene at the 2300 Arena was nothing short of family drama fit for prime time. Joined by fellow Full Blooded Italian, Tony Mamaluke, Nunzio stormed into the NXT backstage area, laying down the law like he never left. Mamaluke backed him up with all the subtlety of a flying meatball, informing NXT star Adriana Rizzo that she’d be facing Nikkita Lyons later that night. Apparently, Lyons has been tussling with Rizzo over Halloween Havoc drama – and nothing says “resolving feuds” quite like Nunzio and Mamaluke on hand to ensure family honor remains intact.
But the real bombshell? Nunzio challenged D’Angelo himself to a showdown for the North American Championship. Yes, folks, it’s happening – Nunzio’s lacing up his boots, straightening his tie, and stepping back into the ring for the fight of his life.
In the words of Nunzio himself, “Forget about it!” This Tuesday night, fans are in for a wild night of nostalgia, Italian pride, and maybe a pasta plate thrown or two. Tune in for all the action – and remember to call back when the Don rings.
