Injured NXT Star Resurfaces In New Role

ByAnutosh BajpaiProfessional Wrestling Journalist

Adriana Rizzo is back on WWE TV in a new role.

The former member of the D’Angelo Family had been missing from WWE programming for almost a year. She was last seen leading ‘The Sitdown’ before ‘The D’Angelo Family Final Battle’ during the July 15, 2025 NXT.

Having not wrestled a match since April that year, any plans the company might have had for her after the faction disbanded were likely nixed after Rizzo tore her ACL and meniscus last August.

The female star had confirmed last month that she had finally been cleared, and now she has resurfaced with a new role.

The July 8 episode of Evolve saw Adriana Rizzo debuting as a ringside interviewer. She spoke to Harley “Big Rig” Riggins about his recent victory over Pro Wrestling NOAH’s Ulka Sasaki:

We’ll have to see whether this is a new career direction for Adriana or something to keep her occupied while the creative figures out a plan for her. For now the NXT star will be happy to be back on TV after her long hiatus.
