Return to WWE (2022–present)

On March 17, 2022, Lavalley signed a developmental contract with WWE and was assigned to the WWE Performance Center. Lavalley, going under the ring name Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo, made his debut on April 19 episode of NXT alongside Troy "Two Dimes" Donovan, attacking Santos Escobar during a match. The following week on NXT, Tony D'Angelo, with the gimmick of an Italian-American mobster and the leader of The D'Angelo Family stable, introduced them as his henchmen, establishing themselves as heels in the process. On June 4, at NXT In Your House, The D'Angelo Family defeated Legado Del Fantasma and as per the stipulation, Legado Del Fantasma had to join The D'Angelo Family. After Two Dime's firing on the August 2 episode of NXT, Lorenzo and D'Angelo faced The Creed Brothers for the NXT Tag Team Championship, but were defeated due to Escobar turning on D'Angelo.

At NXT Stand & Deliver, on April 1, 2023, Lorenzo and D'Angelo, now face, failed to win the NXT Tag Team Championship in a triple threat match. At NXT: The Great American Bash, Lorenzo and D'Angelo defeated Gallus (Wolfgang and Mark Coffey) to win the NXT Tag Team Championship, marking the first championship in his career. At NXT: Halloween Havoc, on October 24, they lost the titles to Chase University (Andre Chase and Duke Hudson). They regained the titles on the November 14 episode of NXT from Chase University. On the February 13, 2024 episode of NXT, Stacks and D'Angelo lost the titles to Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin. At NXT: Roadblock, D'Angelo introduced Luca Crusifino as the "consigliere" of The D'Angelo Family. On the April 16 episode of NXT, D'Angelo revealed that his Family were hired by No Quarter Catch Crew (NQCC; Charlie Dempsey, Damon Kemp, and Myles Borne) to (kayfabe) eliminate their leader Drew Gulak. D'Angelo demanded payment for the job but NQCC refused, causing a brawl between the two factions and resulting in a six-man tag team match between the two factions at Week 1 of Spring Breakin', which was won by The D'Angelo Family. On the May 7 episode of NXT, Dempsey and Borne faced Tyson DuPont and Tyrek Igwe in a tag team match. Before the match started, the match referee was declared "unavailable" and Stacks was announced as the special guest referee, costing Dempsey and Borne the match through a fast count. After the match, an irate Dempsey gave D'Angelo a title shot at the NXT Heritage Cup as payment due to the D'Angelo Family and invoked the Catch Clause. Later that night, D'Angelo and his Family kidnapped Kemp and Borne to nullify the Catch Clause.

Personal life

Lavalley is currently in a relationship with Bianca Carelli, who currently wrestles in NXT as Arianna Grace and is the daughter of Anthony Carelli, who is better known as Santino Marella.
