Stacks Gets Help From Arianna Grace And Josh Briggs To Score Win On WWE NXT

It appears Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo is building a new crew.

Stacks defeated Yoshiki Inamura on the August 5 episode of WWE NXT. However, he had some help. Arianna Grace and Josh Briggs helped the NXT Heritage Cup Champion pick up the win. Grace slapped Inamura as he was nominating the match. When the referee tried to remove Grace from the ringside area, she would continue distracting him as Josh Briggs came from behind and nailed his former tag team partner with a Big Boot. This all allowed Stacks to pick up the victory.

Arianna Grace is Stacks’ real-life fiancée. Both Briggs and Grace began interacting with stacks on the July 29 episode of WWE NXT. Stacks was trying to tell Briggs that he would be all right without Inamura, leading to Inamura slapping him. Grace then tended to him after the slap and followed up by checking on him backstage on August 5. Also on August 5, Lorenzo said he wanted to be referred to simply as Stacks moving forward.

Before all of this, Stacks was part of the Tony D’Angelo Family. That family has since broken up. Learn more about NXT fading to Black the last time Tony D’Angelo was on TV here.
