Robert Stone Returns to TNA With Eyes on Santino Marella’s Job; Victoria Crawford (Alicia Fox) Set for Knockouts Title Shot

The TNA power struggle just got a whole lot more personal — and a little more WWE-flavored.

On this week’s episode of TNA iMPACT!, former TNA star and current WWE NXT figure Robert Stone made a surprise return, confronting Director of Authority Santino Marella and delivering a blunt message: he’s watching him — and he might just be coming for his job.

Stone, who many fans still remember as Robbie E from his TNA days, didn’t show up alone. He brought with him a sense of corporate legitimacy, declaring that Santino is officially under review by the TNA Board of Directors and naming himself the one tasked with monitoring Marella’s performance. In case Stone isn’t around to oversee things personally, he introduced a new name into the fold — Victoria Crawford, better known to WWE fans as Alicia Fox — as his appointed Deputy Director.

And she’s not just here for admin duties.

Crawford has been thrust straight into the spotlight with a major title opportunity, as it was announced she will challenge Masha Slamovich for the TNA Knockouts Championship at Under Siege. The challenge comes on the heels of Crawford’s unexpected involvement at TNA Unbreakable 2025, where she interfered in a mixed tag match pitting Slamovich and Joe Hendry against Frankie Kazarian and Tessa Blanchard. That encounter has sparked what looks to be an intense feud between Crawford and Slamovich, now set to explode in a title match.

Tension around Santino’s authority continued to rise throughout the night. Tessa Blanchard — herself no stranger to shaking things up — confronted Santino backstage and threw her support behind Robert Stone’s ambitions, hinting that change might be exactly what TNA leadership needs.

Between internal power plays and a returning Crawford eyeing Knockouts gold, the dynamic within TNA’s leadership and women’s division is shifting fast. With Under Siege on the horizon and Stone’s influence growing, one thing is certain: Santino Marella’s days as Director of Authority may be numbered.

WWE Stand & Deliver 4/19/2025 (Results)

NXT Stand & Deliver brought the heat to Los Angeles with a night filled with hard-hitting action, championship drama, and jaw-dropping betrayals. Here’s your full breakdown from the kickoff show chaos to the main event spectacle.

Countdown to Stand & Deliver Pre-Show

Multi-Team Tag Match to Set New #1 Contenders

The Countdown to Stand & Deliver pre-show kicked off with an all-out war between four teams battling for a shot at the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championships. The bout featured Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade, Meta-Four, Fatal Influence, and Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley, accompanied by Shotzi.

The chaos escalated fast with all eight women eventually brawling in and out of the ring. Meta-Four (Legend & Jackson) were first to be eliminated after Roxanne Perez hit her Pop Rox finisher on Legend. However, moments later, the friction between Perez and Jade hit a breaking point—Perez walked out on her partner, leaving Jade vulnerable to a double-team that sealed their elimination.

That left Fatal Influence and Dolin & Paxley to battle it out. After a flurry of pin attempts and signature spots, it was Paxley who scored the decisive fall with a big splash, earning her and Dolin a future title opportunity.

Winners (New No. 1 Contenders): Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley

Stand & Deliver

Ricky Saints Survives Ethan Page to Retain North American Gold

In a gritty, back-and-forth contest, North American Champion Ricky Saints went to war with the ever-dangerous Ethan Page. Saints weathered an early onslaught that included a nasty powerslam on the apron and a Boston Crab that nearly forced a submission.

The challenger nearly sealed the deal with Ego’s Edge, but Saints kicked out and roared back with a Tornado DDT, spear, and finally the Roshambo to retain the gold in a thrilling finish.

Winner (Still Champion): Ricky Saints

New Tag Champs Crowned as Walker & Ledger Shock Frazer & Axiom

The chemistry of Nathan Frazer & Axiom was put to the test by the powerhouse duo of Hank Walker & Tank Ledger—and it wasn’t enough. After a high-octane contest full of wild sequences and near-falls, Walker & Ledger unleashed a brutal spear-powerslam combo to score the pin and win the NXT Tag Team Titles.

A show of respect followed as Frazer and Axiom embraced the new champs in a passing-of-the-torch moment.

Winners (New NXT Tag Team Champions): Hank Walker & Tank Ledger

Sol Ruca Climbs to the Top in History-Making Ladder Match

In a landmark six-woman ladder match to crown the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Champion, Sol Ruca rose above five other fierce competitors—Zaria, Lola Vice, Kelani Jordan, Thea Hail, and Izzi Dame.

The high-risk bout featured wild ladder stunts, springboard moonsaults, and even an assist (and later a crash) from The Culling. The final stretch saw Ruca and Zaria trading shots atop the ladder before Ruca outlasted everyone and retrieved the title to become the first-ever Women’s North American Champion.

Winner (and New Champion): Sol Ruca

Betrayal Rocks The D’Angelo Family as DarkState Steals the Win

Just when it looked like Tony D’Angelo’s family was riding high, Stacks Lorenzo pulled the ultimate swerve.

In a heated match between DarkState (with Cutler James) and The D’Angelo Family, crowbars were introduced, and alliances were tested. After an apparent moment of unity, Stacks low-blowed D’Angelo, helping DarkState hit a devastating powerbomb to win the match.

It’s unclear what Stacks’ motives are, but The Family has been shattered.

Winners: DarkState

Stephanie Vaquer Retains in Star-Studded Fatal 4-Way

In one of the most anticipated matches of the night, Stephanie Vaquer defended her NXT Women’s Championship against Giulia, Jaida Parker, and Jordynne Grace. This one delivered on all fronts—strong style strikes, triple suplexes, and a triple Hip Attack from Parker that popped the crowd.

Each woman had a shot, but in the end, Vaquer rose to the occasion. After a late surge that saw her break up multiple pins and unleash a vicious Package Backbreaker on Parker, Vaquer retained her title in commanding fashion.

Winner (Still Champion): Stephanie Vaquer

Oba Femi Fends Off Evans and Trick in Brutal Triple Threat

The main event lived up to its billing as Oba Femi, Trick Williams, and Je’Von Evans collided for the NXT Championship in a match filled with chaos, aerials, and power moves.

Highlights included a breathtaking Japanese Ocean Cyclone Suplex combo, a Trick Shot that nearly got the win (if not for the downed ref), and a devastating chokeslam by Femi on Evans to close the show. Despite Williams’ best efforts, the NXT Champion once again proved unstoppable.

Winner (Still Champion): Oba Femi

Final Thoughts

Stand & Deliver wasn’t just another premium live event—it was a full-blown statement from NXT. From Sol Ruca’s historic climb, to the collapse of The D’Angelo Family, and the continued dominance of Oba Femi, the brand is brimming with new stories and shifting power dynamics.

Giulia Shakes Up NXT Women’s Title Picture with Shocking Return Ahead of Stand & Deliver

The road to Stand & Deliver just got a lot more chaotic — and a lot more exciting — as the NXT Women’s Championship picture saw a major shakeup on Tuesday night’s episode of WWE NXT.

The show kicked off with Jaida Parker squaring off against TNA Knockouts Champion Jordynne Grace in a match with championship implications. NXT Women’s Champion Stephanie Vaquer was on commentary, poised to reveal her challenger for Stand & Deliver after the bout. But things spiraled out of control before she could even finish her thought.

After a fast-paced start, the match broke down outside the ring. Parker, never one to back down from confrontation, slapped Vaquer at ringside. The champ fired back, but in the chaos accidentally nailed Grace, prompting the referee to call for the disqualification. That didn’t stop the fight, though — all three women kept brawling, and just when things couldn’t get any more volatile, Giulia’s music hit.

The former NXT Women’s Champion made a thunderous return, sprinting to the ring and aligning with Vaquer — or so it seemed. After fending off Parker and Grace, Giulia turned on her ally-turned-rival, hitting Vaquer with a devastating Death Valley Driver and holding the title high above her head, a clear message that she’s back and wants her gold.

Later in the night, a furious and defiant Vaquer told NXT General Manager Ava that she will defend her title against all three challengers — Giulia, Jaida Parker, and Jordynne Grace — in a fatal four-way match at Stand & Deliver.

This marks Giulia’s first appearance on NXT TV since dropping the title to Vaquer at Roadblock in Madison Square Garden last month. Though there were rumors of an injury following her title loss, she had quietly been working non-televised live events, and now she’s made her presence felt in a major way.

With four top-tier competitors and no shortage of personal animosity, the NXT Women’s Championship match at Stand & Deliver is shaping up to be one of the most must-see bouts of WrestleMania weekend. Will Vaquer survive the onslaught, or is Giulia poised to reclaim her throne?

Stay tuned — NXT’s women’s division just became the hottest ticket in town.
