The following matches and events are advertised for Saturday’s NXT Stand & Deliver event in St. Louis, Missouri, at The Factory at the District.
-Joe Hendry vs. Ricky Saints vs. Ethan Page vs. Tony D’Angelo in a four-way for the NXT Championship
-Jacy Jayne defends the NXT Women’s Championship
-Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes vs. Bravo and Rayo for the NXT Tag Team Titles
-Tatum Paxley vs. Blake Monroe for the NXT North American Championship
-Myles Borne vs. Johnny Gargano for the NXT North American Championship
-Sol Ruca vs. Zaria
-Rapper Sexyy Red appears
-(Pre-Show) vs. “Birthright” Charlie Dempsey, Lexis King, Uriah Connors, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, and Arianna Grace vs. Hank Walker, Tank Ledger, Eli Knight, Shiloh Hill, and Wren Sinclair in a ten-person tag match
Powell’s POV: Tuesday’s Kendal Grey vs. Lola Vice match to determine the challenger for the NXT Women’s Championship ended with a “simultaneous” pin and submission (the replay showed that Grey tapped before the referee made the three count). While I assume they will both challenge Jacy Jayne in a Triple Threat, NXT has not provided a ruling as of this update. Bravo and Rayo won the tag team tournament on Tuesday to earn their respective title shots.
NXT’s run on Peacock is over. Stand & Deliver will stream free on YouTube (and internationally on Netflix). Join John Moore for his live review as the show streams, starting with the pre-show at 5CT/6ET, or the main card at 6CT/7ET. Our audio review will be available as this week’s free Pro Wrestling Boom podcast.
Do they go with a rematch to open the show with the winner facing Jacy in the main event?
That’s what I would honestly do instead of the “obligatory” triple threat.
