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
