[Chris]

Really excited with how they've built up both matches so far, already feels like a much bigger deal than last years which I still thought was a real good show. Starting at 10 a.m. local time is rough tho but at least it's noon for me lol that's convenient

 

[Dale]

Safe to assume we get a Dragon Lee showcase here aswell

Saw a tweet earlier fantasy booking him vs Axion (idk why other than they both have masks) but oh man

 

[Dale]

I was actually thinking that would be an option myself, basically just some high flying fuckfest banger

 

[Chris]

I could also see him just challenging Wes Lee too, would be another banger

that or him vs. Wes Lee or any sort of NA Ladder fest

 

[Chris]

Ladder match might be likely too, they love doing those Mania weekend and they could fit Dijak/Tony D and whoever else onto the card that way

 

[Dale]

I could also see him just challenging Wes Lee too, would be another banger

I'd be surprised at that one, almost feels like a lose/lose situation as weird as that is to say. He either loses in his debut or is saddled with carrying the belt while still adapting to everything. Unless they do a non-title match but that would just telegraph the winner I guess.

Wes Lee to defend the North American Title in a Fatal 5-Way​

After weeks of open challenges that have led to chaos and destruction across NXT, Shawn Michaels has determined that Wes Lee will defend his title in a Fatal 5-Way Match at NXT Stand & Deliver.

Lee has stepped up to each challenge, most recently the humongous Von Wagner and the high-flying Nathan Frazer, but with each challenge came a horde of Superstars wanting to be the next contender.

Now, instead of the madness of an Open Challenge, Lee will handpick his four opponents for the match in what is sure to be his greatest test yet.

Who will Lee choose for the match and who will walk out of NXT Stand & Deliver as the North American Champion?

Ladder Match to determine the NXT Women’s Champion​

Moments after Roxanne Perez successfully defended the NXT Women’s Championship against Meiko Satomura, the champion collapsed in what turned into a scary scene.

Left with no choice, Shawn Michaels determined that a Ladder Match will take place at NXT Stand & Deliver to determine who the NXT Women's Champion will be.

Zoey Stark became the first competitor to earn a spot in the match by defeating Sol Ruca, and Gigi Dolin followed soon after with a win over Kiana James.

Which Superstar will punch her ticket to NXT Stand & Deliver and come away as the NXT Women’s Champion?​

 

[Kim Jong Umb]

that or him vs. Wes Lee or any sort of NA Ladder fest

Well I was semi right we are getting a ladder Match just not for NA Title

Fallon Henley & Kiana James defend the NXT Women's Tag Team Titles against Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn​

The NXT Women's Tag Team Titles are on the line as Fallon Henley & Kiana James tangle with Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn.

Henley & James have had a strenuous relationship dating back to their days before they were a tag team, but it's only worsened in recent weeks with Henley believing that James is feigning interest in Brooks Jensen.

This doubt has allowed the unholy alliance of Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn to rise up and become the No. 1 contenders and solidifying it by defeating Ivy Nile & Tatum Paxley and Katana Chance & Kayden Carter in a triple threat tag team match.

Will Henley & James fix their issues before NXT Stand & Deliver or will the peculiar pair of Fyre & Dawn usher in a new era in the NXT Women's Tag Team Division?​

 

[Cwalker]

Finally Melo’s moment

 

[Chris]

Witches gotta win, idk why they added the tag titles to the redneck love story angle still, doesn't seem like they needed them at all lol

Andre Chase, Duke Hudson, Thea Hail and Tyler Bate face Schism for control of Chase U​

The warring factions of Chase U and Schism will finally come to blows in a major Eight-Person Tag Team Match as Tyler Bate joins up with Andre Chase, Thea Hail, and Duke Hudson to battle Joe Gacy, Rip Fowler, Jagger Reid, and the mysterious Ava with the winner getting control of the university.

Schism has tortured Chase U for weeks with Ava personally tormenting Thea Hail. Chase University has fought back in recent weeks, but not as much as Hudson would hope for as he’s called the university’s handling of the situation a joke.

After his kindness shown to Hail, Bate will now fight alongside Chase U, and the team is hoping The Big Strong Boi will be just the boost they need to come out on top.

Will Chase remain the head of Chase U, or will Schism -- led by the menacing Gacy -- take control?

Gallus, The Creed Brothers and The Family to square off in Triple Threat Match for the NXT Tag Team Titles​

One night of debauchery in their favorite bar was enough for Gallus to agree to defend their NXT Tag Team Championships in a Triple Threat Match against The Creed Brothers and The Family at NXT Stand & Deliver.

Julius and Brutus Creed are ready to reclaim the gold after recently dispatching the monstrous Indus Sher. Meanwhile, Tony D’Angelo and Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo are turning their attention to the NXT tag team division after “Stacks” proved himself as The Underboss.

The Gallus Boys are on top, but for how long?​
