Kali Armstrong vignette airs during WWE NXT Stand & Deliver

Evolve wrestler Kali Armstrong is all set to make her WWE NXT debut.

During the recent April 4 edition of NXT Stand & Deliver in St.Louis, a vignette aired for WWE Evolve wrestler Kali Armstrong’s NXT arrival. The vignette featured Armstrong and teased her upcoming NXT debut and closed by stating she would be “coming soon” to the promotion.

In the vignette, Kali highlighted her skills by calling herself “fast, strong, dominant, and different.” She finished the vignette by hitting her tagline, “difference maker.”

Armstrong is the first-ever WWE EVOLVE Women’s Champion. She held the title for 151 days and made four successful title defenses. Kali has previously competed on NXT before, defending the EVOLVE Women’s Title against Karmen Petrovic on the June 15 episode of NXT. She has also competed on NXT Live house matches as well as dark matches on NXT. A former Evolve Champion, she later lost the title to Kendal Grey.

While Armstrong’s teaser aired during NXT Stand & Deliver, no official date for her arrival was revealed.

Lola Vice wins Women’s title at WWE NXT Stand & Deliver

Lola Vice is the new Women’s Champion.

In the opening match of Saturday’s Stand & Deliver, Vice defeated Kendal Grey and Jacy Jayne to win the title for the first time. After Wren Sinclair took out both Fallon Henley and Laney Reid at ringside, it boiled down to the three wrestlers in the ring. After Jayne sent Grey out of the ring with a rolling encore, Vice connected with the spinning backfist to win the title.

Jayne had held the title for 137 days, defeating Tatum Paxley back at NXT Gold Rush in November. Aside from Paxley’s short reign, Jayne had held the title dating back to last May.

After Grey and Sinclair defeated Fatal Influence in a tag match on NXT, Grey called out Jayne for a title match. However, Vice came out and said she wanted next as well. The two met in a number one contender’s match on Tuesday’s show that ended in controversy. While Grey seemingly had Vice pinned following a northern lights suplex, she also tapped out during the pinfall count. A second referee entered the ring to debate the finish as the show ended in confusion. It wasn’t until the following day on social media that the triple threat was made for Stand & Deliver.

WWE NXT Stand & Deliver to air live on YouTube

With NXT content leaving Peacock soon, there was a big question over where the brand’s next PLE would air. We now know that answer.

It was announced today that NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 will stream live on WWE’s YouTube channel on Saturday, April 4. The show is taking place at the The Factor in Chesterfield, Missouri and has a start time of 7 p.m.

NXT boss Shawn Michaels sent out a tweet this afternoon announcing the broadcast details for the show:

Stand & Deliver has traditionally been NXT’s WrestleMania weekend PLE, but WWE made a change this year by moving both the date and location for the show. Under the old schedule, the event took place in the afternoon before the first night of WrestleMania. It will now happen two weeks before Mania.

NXT content is slated to leave Peacock within the next week. There’s been no news as to whether PLEs airing on YouTube will become a regular thing or if this is just a stopgap until WWE reaches a new deal to find a home for the rights. WWE will still maintain a presence on Peacock going forward with Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Vengeance Day this past weekend was the last NXT PLE of the Peacock era. On the road to Stand & Deliver, NXT has upcoming stops in Houston next week and New York City on March 31 for television episodes.

WWE moves NXT Stand & Deliver away from WrestleMania weekend

WWE is making a big change for NXT Stand & Deliver 2026.

Stand & Deliver has traditionally taken place during WrestleMania weekend, but that will not be the case this year. The PLE will instead be held in the St. Louis area on Saturday, April 4, which is two weeks before Las Vegas hosts WrestleMania.

The Factory in Chesterfield, Missouri will be the venue for Stand & Deliver 2026. A ticket pre-sale begins on March 3 prior to tickets going on sale to the general public on March 4.

“I want to break some big news,” NXT boss Shawn Michaels said. “On Saturday, April 4, NXT will be bringing one of its biggest PLEs to one of the greatest wrestling cities in all the world. Stand & Deliver, Saturday, April 4, will take place at The Factory in St. Louis, Missouri. Tickets will go on sale March 4, with a pre-sale on March 3. And trust me, this is a PLE you won’t want to miss.”

The Enterprise Center in St. Louis is hosting SmackDown the night before this NXT PLE takes place.

NXT is coming off a big episode last night that featured three title changes. Myles Borne became the new men’s North American Champion, Vanity Project won the NXT Tag Team titles, and Elio LeFleur won WWE Speed gold.

The build to Stand & Deliver should pick up after Vengeance Day 2026 takes place on March 7. On the road to Stand & Deliver, NXT has stops in Houston in March 17 and New York City on March 31 for television episodes.

Tag Team titles change hands at NXT Stand & Deliver

New NXT Tag Team Champions have been crowned.

Hank Walker and Tank Ledger defeated Nathan Frazer and Axiom at Saturday’s WWE NXT Stand & Deliver PLE to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions.

Fraxiom’s seven-month second reign as NXT’s top tag team ended with Ledger pinning Frazer after a spear and powerslam double team maneuver for the title change.

Walker and Ledger had primarily been used as an underneath team in NXT prior to their winning a number one contender’s gauntlet match on Tuesday’s NXT TV episode to earn the title shot.

With the loss, speculation is likely to begin that Fraxiom’s Axiom and Frazer could be main roster-bound. Aside from a 19-day run from Chase U, Frazer and Axiom held the title for nearly a full calendar year after winning gold last April 9 on an episode of NXT TV.

The new champs spoke to Sarah Schreiber in a backstage interview later in the program:

Our ongoing live coverage for Saturday’s WWE NXT Stand & Deliver is here.

WWE NXT Stand & Deliver card finalized

The card for Saturday, April 19th’s WWE NXT Stand & Deliver has been finalized with new matches added, and title contenders cemented following Tuesday’s NXT TV.

Ethan Page won a number one contender’s match on Tuesday’s WWE NXT to advance to the North American title match at Stand & Deliver where he will challenge Ricky Saints. Saints laid Page out ahead of their match in an in-ring encounter on Tuesday’s show.

The final two spots in the Women’s North American title ladder match at Stand & Deliver were also filled on Tuesday’s show, with Thea Hail, and Lola Vice winning the final qualifying bouts. Those two join Kelani Jordan, Sol Ruca, Izzi Dame, and Zaria in the bout to crown a new Women’s North American Champion on Saturday.

Hank Walker and Tank Ledger survived the number one contender’s tag team gauntlet match on Tuesday’s episode to advance to the Tag Team title bout set for Stand & Deliver. Hank and Tank will challenge Fraxiom’s Nathan Frazer and Axiom for the NXT Tag titles.

A six-man tag has also been added to Saturday’s main card, with The Tony D’Angelo Family’s D’Angelo, Stacks Lorenzo, and Luca Crusifino facing three members of DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin).

A number one contender’s match for the WWE Women’s Tag Team titles is also set for Saturday’s Stand & Deliver pre-show, with Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade vs. Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson vs. Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne vs. Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley. The winners will get a shot at the Women’s Tag titles on the Tuesday, April 22 WWE NXT TV episode. The Women’s Tag belts are currently held by Liv Morgan and Raquel Rodriguez, but they have to defend against Bayley and Lyra Valkyria at WrestleMania 41 on Sunday.

WWE NXT Stand and Deliver 2025 Match Card Predictions

​As WWE NXT’s Stand & Deliver 2025 approaches on April 19 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, fans are eagerly anticipating a card that delivers (pardon the pun) before WrestleMania 41. The event, streaming live on Peacock in the U.S. and Netflix internationally, promises to showcase the best of NXT’s current crop of talent. Here’s an overview of the confirmed matches and predictions for the upcoming card.

Confirmed Matches

NXT Championship Triple Threat Match: Oba Femi (c) vs. Trick Williams vs. Je’Von Evans

Oba Femi is set to defend his NXT Championship against challengers Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans in a triple threat match.

NXT Women’s Championship Fatal Four-Way Match: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Giulia vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Jaida Parker

Stephanie Vaquer will put her NXT Women’s Championship on the line against Giulia, Jordynne Grace, and Jaida Parker in a fatal four-way match.

NXT Women’s North American Championship Ladder Match

A new NXT Women’s North American Champion will be crowned in a ladder match featuring Zaria, Kelani Jordan, Sol Ruca, Izzi Dame, and two competitors yet to be determined.

Predicted Matches

NXT North American Championship Match: Ricky Saints (c) vs. Ethan Page

Ricky Saints recently captured the NXT North American Championship and is expected to defend his title against the winner of the upcoming fatal four-way match involving Ethan Page, Eddy Thorpe, Lexis King, and Wes Lee. Given Page’s momentum, he is a strong contender to emerge as the number one contender.

NXT Tag Team Championship Match: Fraxiom (c) vs. Gauntlet Match Winners

The reigning NXT Tag Team Champions, Fraxiom (Nathan Frazer & Axiom), are slated to defend their titles against the winners of the tag team gauntlet match scheduled for the April 15 episode of NXT. Teams such as Josh Briggs & Yoshiki Inamura, No Quarter Catch Crew, Hank & Tank, The Culling, and Tyson DuPont & Tyriek Igwe are vying for the opportunity, with Briggs and Inamura being strong contenders.

Those two extra bouts would take Stand & Deliver to 5 overall, which appears to be the sweet spot for WWE on PLE cards these days.

Sol Ruca, Izzi Dame qualify for WWE NXT Stand & Deliver ladder match

Two more wrestlers have qualified for the Women’s North American title ladder match set for WWE NXT Stand & Deliver.

Sol Ruca and Izzi Dame were victorious in their qualifying matches on Tuesday’s WWE NXT episode to secure their spots in the six-person ladder match to crown a new North American Champion at Stand & Deliver on Saturday, April 19.

Ruca defeated Jazmyn Nyx on Tuesday’s show to punch her ticket to Las Vegas, while Dame defeated No Quarter Catch Crew’s Wren Sinclair on the show to advance.

Four spots are now secured in the six-person ladder match, with the final two participants to be decided on next week’s WWE NXT on CW, the final stop before Stand & Deliver.

The Women’s North American title was vacated by Stephanie Vaquer, the current NXT Women’s Champion after she defeated Giulia in a title-for-title bout to become a double champion. Vaquer wil defend the Women’s title in a four-way at Stand & Deliver.

The updated WWE NXT Stand & Deliver card:

  • NXT Champion Oba Femi defends against Trick Williams & Je’Von Evans in a triple threat

A ladder match for the Women’s North American Championship is also official for the Saturday, April 19 show, with a series of qualifying matches deciding the six competitors.

Giulia makes first WWE appearance at NXT Stand & Deliver

A top free agent looks to be on her way to WWE NXT.

Former stardom wrestler Giulia was shown sitting in the front row at NXT Stand & Deliver on Saturday afternoon. She was seated with William Regal and former Stardom boss Rossy Ogawa.

“Well guys, the surprises keep coming. One of the biggest international wrestlers Giulia is taking in Stand & Deliver,” Vic Joseph said on commentary. “And she has her eyes on the best women’s division in wrestling. Everyone taking time and soaking in the biggest WrestleMania weekend of all time.”

For months, it’s been expected that Giulia would eventually be signing with WWE. She departed Stardom when her contract with the promotion expired at the end of March.

Tokyo Sports confirmed earlier this week that Giulia was traveling to the United States in advance of WrestleMania weekend. She was backstage with Ogawa at Friday night’s episode of SmackDown.

Ogawa’s contract with Stardom was terminated in February. He’s currently working on starting a new promotion.

In the 2023 Wrestling Observer Newsletter Awards, Giulia finished second in the Women’s Wrestling MVP category behind Rhea Ripley. She also ranked fourth in Most Charismatic and eighth in Best Brawler.

After Roxanne Perez won the NXT Women’s Championship at Stand & Deliver, the camera panned to Giulia watching on.

Giulia tweeted a photo of her shaking hands with Paul “Triple H” Levesque backstage at the event. Levesque responded:

It isn’t known when Giulia will be starting with WWE. She’s been announced for a Pro Wrestling NOAH show that’s taking place on May 4. The expectation has also been that Giulia would be helping Ogawa with the start of his new promotion.

Tag title bout official for WWE NXT Stand & Deliver, new matches added

After a weeks-long series of qualifying matches, Tuesday’s three-way with Frazer & Axiom, Karl Anderson & Luke Gallows, and Joaquin Wilde & Cruz Del Toro decided The Wolf Dogs’ challengers for Saturday, with Frazer pinning Del Toro to cement a spot in the title bout. 

Two new matches have also been added to this Saturday’s Stand & Deliver lineup. 

On the main card, Thea Hail, Fallon Henley, & Kelani Jordan will take on Jacy Jayne, Kiana James, & Izzi Dame in a trios match. 

In a bout set for Saturday’s kickoff show, Joe Gacy will go one-on-one with Shawn Spears.
