WWE star issues heartbreaking statement after his stable officially splits up

One of the most popular WWE stables in recent years has officially broken up, and fans are still reeling from the shocking turn of events. On the latest episode of NXT, the D'Angelo Family broke up, and now one of its members, Luca Crusifino, has posted a heartbreaking message on X.

It's no secret that the stable led by Tony D'Angelo was experiencing internal discord that dominated NXT's programming lately. First, Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo betrayed D'Angelo, and last week, Crusifino also finally left the group. After months of absence, D'Angelo Family's only female member, Adriana Rizzo, returned to WWE NXT and dissolved the stable once and for all.

Luca Crusifino has now sent out an emotional message detailing the breakdown of the group on X. He took shots at both Stacks, for first betraying the family, and at Tony D'Angelo for not trusting him enough.

"Imagine leaving your entire life behind, swearing your loyalty to someone you looked up to, only for his right hand man, who you thought was your brother, betray the guy you dedicated your wrestling career to, put your family in danger, and leave you in the desert to die. … and instead of the boss, that you idolized, bringing the rest of the family together to take down the traitor, he isolated himself, didn’t go looking for you, and when you came back, accused you not being loyal and being a traitor."

Adriana Rizzo also addressed the breakup from WWE NXT

Rizzo also couldn't help but pour her emotions out to X following the D'Angelo Family's split on WWE NXT this week. The 26-year-old star wrote that the breakup marked the "end of an era" and that she was eternally grateful for her time in it.

"The end of an era. 🖤 Being apart of The D’Angelo Family is a chapter of my life that I’ll cherish forever. We laughed, fought, celebrated, and built something special together. This wasn’t just a faction—it was a family. As we all set off on our own paths, I’ll carry the memories, lessons, and bonds we made for life. La famiglia per sempre."
