Image via WWE Adriana Rizzo posted an emotional video, bidding farewell to the D'Angelo Family. The post drew references from the Fast and Furious franchise throughout. Rizzo emphasized the word 'Family. " She even used the song composed for the Late Paul Walker . In the franchise, the song was used towards the end of the seventh installment. It was the last movie of Walker's career. Rizzo used the same song for the D'Angelo family. The faction was disbanded last week. Rizzo's heartfelt post was a tribute to the time spent together. Adriana Rizzo uses famous 'See You Again' track for the farewell video Adriana Rizzo addressed the once close group as a family. A term that has been frequently used throughout the Fast and Furious franchise. The major family break within the film series came with the demise of Paul Walker. His last appearance was in the seventh instalment of the franchise. Paul's untimely demise was honored by a song towards the end of the film. The song 'See You Again' honored both on-screen and off-screen friendship between Walker and Vin Diesel. Rizzo used the same song to pay a tribute to the now-defunct D'Angelo family. The wrestler wrote, 'The end of an era. Being a part of The D'Angelo Family is a chapter of my life that I'll cherish forever.' She continued, '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.' 'La famiglia per sempre' translates to 'family forever.' Rizzo even tried to bring the members together to reach a common point. But the efforts went in vain. The male members of the family—Tony Angelo, Crusifino and Stacks—will now be facing each other in a triple threat match. The match has been scheduled for next week's NXT event. Why was the D'Angelo family disbanded? The disbanding of D'Angelo family started with Stacks's betrayal. The betrayal came during the Family's match against Darkstate. Stacks hit a kick on Tony Angelo below the belt. This allowed the Darkstate to implement their finisher on Angelo. They won the match. The betrayal was followed by a one-on-one match between Stacks and Angelo. Stacks won the Heritage Cup with a low blow towards the end. Luca Crusifino had not picked a side till then. Later, in a confrontation between the three members in an episode of NXT, Luca punched both Angelo and Stacks. Luca decided to be independent. The D'Angelo family gets officially disbanded after a long run.
