WWE NXT: Sanga vs Von Wagner next week
Explaining the build-up to the match, WWE said, “Irate after being passed over by the WWE Universe for a North American Title opportunity, Von Wagner tried to join Sanga, Yulisa Leon, and Valentina Feroz in venting his frustrations. While Sanga attempted to console an injured Leon and inspire Feroz for a singles run, Wagner stormed in to put the focus on him, but he became irritated as Sanga repeatedly cut him off to prevent him from cursing in front of the tag team partners”.
“When it became apparent Wagner did not care about Sanga, Leon or Feroz and more about finding a more physical way of blowing off steam, Mr. Stone stepped in to save the altercation for a later date. There’s no telling what sparks will fly when the two behemoths faceoff in the ring Tuesday night on NXT 2.0,” WWE added.
