A new NXT North American champion was crowned last night on
NXT with Shawn Spears defeating champ Tony D’Angelo in the
main event for his first taste of NXT gold.
This brought to an end D’Angelo’s 147-day reign as champion.
He won the title on the October 8 episode of NXT from Oba
Femi.
For Spears, it’s his first title win after a long wait in both
WWE and AEW. Spears, the man formerly “Perfect 10” Tye
Dillinger, rejoined WWE in February 2024 after nearly five
years with AEW. He had previously worked for WWE between 2013
and 2019.
