Luca Crusifino wants to win gold for The Family in NXT.
Luca Crusifino is the latest name to join the Tony D'Angelo family on WWE's Tuesday night program. Coming on board as the crew's consigliere, Crusifino has also proven to be a formidable tag team partner for Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo. Lorenzo is formerly a tag team champion alongside Tony D'Angelo. Still, Tony is focused on the NXT Heritage Cup Championship, which leaves room for the underboss and the consigliere at the top of the tag team pile.
Speaking on Pitts Sports Zone, Luca Crusifino declared that gold is on his mind. He wants to potentially bring the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship back to The Family, but Crusifino also has the WWE NXT North American Title in his sights.
"Obviously, I'm in a tag team right now with Channing 'Stacks' Lorenzo, my current tag partner. So I think, for us, our sights are set on the tag team gold. We're not just here to be a tag team for no reason. We want to compete with the best, show that we can, and show that we are deserving of it," he said. "So whether that's busting my butt every day, in the weight room, in the training facility every single day, just to have that opportunity. I've had two tag team title opportunities and two North American Championship opportunities, and I'm 0-4 in those matches as of right now.
"In the most recent one against Axiom and Nathan, there was outside interference that caused us to lose, and that caused the distraction. So I think those results should be stricken from the record, and we should be given a rematch for that, but that's just the legalese in me talking here."
Up next for The Family, Tony D'Angelo will defend his NXT Heritage Cup Championship against Tavion Heights at the NXT Great American Bash. Learn more here.
