I just finished watching NXT Stand Deliver & I thought it was a solid event. I don't know much about what is going on in NXT, but I found the event to be thrilling.
The action started on the Kickoff show
Chase U & Tyler Bate vs. Schism
If Schism wins, they get control of Chase U.
The main story of this match is one member of Chase U feela marginalized, at one point putting on the Schism shirt, but he quickly rips it off and leads Chase U & Tyler Bate to victory by pin fall...
The main show begins with a Six-Pack challenge ladder match for the NXT Women's champion as
It's Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Zoey Stark vs. Indi Hartwell vs. Gigi Dolin vs. Tiffany Startton vs. Lyra Valkyria
This match was good opener...
Gigi Dolin appeared to have the match won, but Dolin's former tag team partner Jacy Jayne costs her the match
Indi Hartwell wins the championship, she seemed unable to climb the ladder, but, her (kayfabe) husband Dexter Lumis lifts her up, allowing her to grab the championship & win the match.
Triple threat tage team match for the NXT Tag Team Championship
Gallus (c) vs. The Creed Brothers w/Ivy Nile vs. Tony D'Angelo & Channing 'Stacks' Lorenzo
Another good match, Gallus retains when Joe Coffey returns & assists his brother Mark, allowing him to pin Lorenzo for the victory...
Fatal 5 Way Open challenge for the NXT North American championship
Wes Lee (c) vs. Dragon Lee vs. Axiom vs. Ilya Dragunov vs. JD McDonagh
Extremely physical match.
Wes Lee retains after hitting the Cardiac Kick to Dragunov...
Unsanctioned match
Grayson Waller vs. Johnny Gargano
This was the match of the night (in my opinion...)
Gargano's wife, Candace LaRae gets involved, jumping the railing & hitting waller with a Kendo stick...
Gargano wins by submission after locking in the GargaNO-Escape & making Waller tap out...
After the match, Indi Hartwell & Dexter Lumis meet LeRae & Gargano at the entrance to celebrate
NXT Women's Tag Team Championship match
Kiana James & Fallon Henley (c) vs. Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn
James & Henley did a lot of bickering, & it cost them
Fyre & Dawn win the titles by pin fall after Fyre pins Kiana James
Main event.
NXT Championship
Bron Breakker (c) vs. Carmelo Hayes w/Trick Williams
Hayes comes out in Lakers colors & his Titan tron is the Lakers logo
Breakker comes out paying homage to his dad & uncle
Breakker in many instances pays homage to his dad & uncle throughout the match...
The referee ejects Trick williams at one point
Breakker goes for a spear but he hits both Hayes & the referee, Breakker then locks in the Steiner Recliner & Hayes taps, but there is no referee, Trick Williams then hits Breakker in the back with the title
Breakker manages to kick out, but them Hayes his a top rope leg drop across Breakker's back to win the championship
Afterwards, Breakker hands Hayes the title & raises his arm
A solid event...
Next up: WrestleMania Saturday...
Until next time: I'm Steve & I'm out!
