WWE NXT Roadblock special set for March

Posted on by Joseph Currier

Next month, WWE NXT is heading back to New York City for its annual Roadblock special.

It’s been announced that Roadblock 2026 will take place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday, March 31. The show will air as a special episode of NXT and should serve as a big stop for NXT on the road to WrestleMania weekend.

The Roadblock event is happening one night after Madison Square Garden itself hosts WWE Raw. The theater is a smaller venue connected to MSG that seats a few thousand people. It also hosted Roadblock in 2025 and was most recently the venue for NXT Gold Rush last November.

“NXT Roadblock returns to the Infosys Theater at MSG on March 31,” the venue’s announcement said. “Be there LIVE to see your favorite NXT superstars including NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne, NXT North American Champion Ethan Page, NXT Women’s North American Champion Izzi Dame, NXT Tag Team Champions DarkState and many more!”

Tickets are going on sale to the general public this Thursday (February 5) at 10 a.m. Eastern. A pre-sale is set to begin on Wednesday at that same time.

WWE has yet to officially announce NXT’s plans for WrestleMania weekend in Las Vegas this April, but NXT’s Stand & Deliver PLE traditionally happens then. The brand has a big TV episode tonight where a new NXT Champion will be crowned. Oba Femi vacated the title last month as he prepared for his main roster call-up.

The Undertaker and WWE LFG coaches will appear on next week’s NXT Roadblock special.

As revealed during this week’s show, Undertaker, Mickie James, Bubba Ray Dudley, and Booker T, the coaches on the new WWE LFG reality show, are set to appear on next week’s episode. Booker T was already slated for the event as an NXT commentator.

A new match is also on tap for the March 11 NXT Roadblock show, with Roxanne Perez taking on Jordynne Grace. That bout was set up on Tuesday’s show after a backstage angle where Perez laid out Grace. Grace was victorious over Perez’s storyline ally Cora Jade on this week’s show via referee stoppage after an injury scare. Jade later posted on social media that she was “all good.”

The lineup for the Tuesday, March 11 WWE NXT Roadblock special from The Theater at Madison Square Garden:

  • NXT Champion Oba Femi defends against Moose
  • Winner takes all double title match: NXT Women’s Champion Giulia vs. NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer
  • TNA Tag Team Champions Matt Hardy & Jeff Hardy defend against Nathan Frazer & Axiom
  • Street fight: Je’Von Evans vs. Ethan Page
  • Roxanne Perez vs. Jordynne Grace
  • WWE LFG coaches The Undertaker, Mickie James, Booker T, Bubba Ray Dudley appear

New York City street fight added to WWE NXT Roadblock

A stipulation match is the latest addition to the card for WWE NXT’s Roadblock special.

Rivals Je’Von Evans and Ethan Page will face off in a New York City street fight when Roadblock takes place at The Theater at Madison Square Garden next Tuesday (March 11). The match was announced by NXT General Manager Ava in a video that WWE posted this afternoon.

Page defeated Evans in their match last month at Vengeance Day. In storyline, Evans had to sign a liability waiver to compete that night after having his jaw injured and teeth damaged by Page. There was a segment in December where Page wrapped a steel chair around Evans’ neck and stomped on it, causing Evans to bleed from the mouth.

Their feud has continued since then with Evans & Ricky Saints defeating Page & Wes Lee in the main event of NXT last week. Saints pinned Lee after Evans and Page brawled through the crowd and out of the arena.

Roadblock is airing live on The CW next Tuesday as a special episode of NXT. Here is what has been announced for the show so far:

  • Winner-take-all champion vs. champion match: NXT Women’s Champion Giulia vs. NXT Women’s North American Champion Stephanie Vaquer
  • NXT Champion Oba Femi defends against Moose
  • TNA Tag Team Champions The Hardy Boyz defend against Nathan Frazer & Axiom
  • New York City street fight: Je’Von Evans vs. Ethan Page

Subscriber exclusive: Bryan Alvarez’s WWE NXT Roadblock report

Posted on by F4W Staff

Bryan Alvarez’s report on the March 6, 2024, edition of WWE NXT is now available for subscribers. 

“I have no idea why they’re going this direction unless Trick is going to the main roster on the RAW after WrestleMania and they’re not going to want to beat him after that. Barring that, no clue why they’re doing something so different from the obvious right call,” Alvarez wrote. “With all that said, this show was miles better than last week.”

William Regal makes surprise WWE NXT appearance at Roadblock

Posted on by Ethan Renner

William Regal made a surprise appearance at Tuesday’s WWE NXT Roadblock special. 

In just his second appearance on WWE TV since rejoining the company in 2023, Regal interrupted a celebration of new NXT Heritage Cup Champion Charlie Dempsey and the No Quarter Catch Crew at Roadblock. 

Regal noted that the Heritage Cup is of the utmost importance to him, and that he will have his eye on the No Quarter Catch Crew as they defend the trophy under the “Catch clause,” where any member of the group can defend the Cup. 

Dempsey stated that he would defend the Cup better than Regal ever could, a nod to the fact that Dempsey is Regal’s son in real life. Regal acknowledged Dempsey as his son in a social media promo in December, but that has yet to pay into NXT storylines. 

After being released by WWE in January 2022, Regal had a run with AEW as the manager of the Blackpool Combat Club and occasional commentator that lasted from March 2022 to December 2022. He returned to WWE in January 2023 as the company’s Vice President, Global Talent Development after asking AEW not to pick up his contract option for 2023. AEW agreed, but with the stipulation that he could not appear on WWE TV until 2024. 

Regal made his return as a television character on the January 23, 2024 NXT episode as an authority figure of sorts, naming Ava the new general manager of the brand.
