Thoughts of the Premium Live Event | WWE Stand & Deliver in Las Vegas, Nevada | Live Event Show:
Thoughts: This was an amazing PLE. I thought this show overachieved, and we had two matches on TakeOver Level. I am happy that everyone had a good performance. We saw Hank and Tank manage to become the new WWE NXT Tag Team Champions. Sol Ruca is now the new WWE NXT Women's North American Champion & we saw one of the greatest Triple Threat Matches in NXT History, where Oba Femi defended his title against Je'Von Evans and Trick Williams and had an instant classic with them. This whole event, I was on my feet, and they truly delivered. Great job by everyone on the show, and now we shift to Tuesday, where the reset happens and fresh starts happen. Can't wait for what's in store for NXT next.
WWE Premium Live Event | WWE Stand & Deliver in Las Vegas, Nevada | Match Ratings:
The Pre-Show Match: Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley (with Shotzi) vs. Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Jacy Jayne) (with Jazmyn Nyx) vs. Cora Jade & Roxanne Perez vs. Meta-Four (Jakara Jackson & Lash Legend) in a WWE Women's Tag Team Championship Number One Contender Fatal-Four Way Elimination Match | Match Rating: ***.50 | This was a very fun match. I loved the fact that all these ladies were on the show, regardless of it being listed. They all delivered. I was very shocked that Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley won, but they deserved this; they worked hard for it, so they are next in line for a shot at the WWE Women's Tag Team Championships which wull take place Tuesday with whoever wins the WWE Women's Tag Team Championship at WrestleMania either Liv Morgan or Raquel Rodriguez of The Judgement Day or the newly formed team of Bayley and the current WWE Women's Intercontinental Champion in Lyra Valkyria.
The Opening Match: Ricky Saints (c) vs. Ethan Page in a Singles Match for WWE NXT North American Championship | Match Rating: ***.75 | This was a very fun opening match. The chemistry between Ricky Saints and Ethan Page has always been their noting they have been in the same companies before. But I enjoyed this title defense for Ricky Saints, he looked poised, energetic & was delivering on all cylinders in this match. Ethan Page, this seemed like this is his final match in NXT. I think it's time for him to help the mid-card out on the Main Roster. He could be like this decade Miz be very onxnious hold some mid-card titles and tag gold and maybe a World Title if he could maybe like one reign. But this was a very fun match great way to kick things off for Stand & Deliver.
2nd Match: Fraxiom (Axiom & Nathan Frazer) (c) vs. Hank And Tank (Hank Walker & Tank Ledger) in a Tag Team Match for the WWE NXT Tag Team Championship | Match Rating: ****.50 | This was amazing. Oh my goodness. Fraxiom is the best tag team on this planet. Tank Ledger had his breakout performance, he was money. I have no words for what I saw because this was amazing. What a match, what a performance by all four men in this match. This match felt like a TakeOver Match. Fraxiom, I'm assuming, will be getting that much-expected Main Roster call-up, and now the NXT Tag Division is going to be run by Hank and Tank. So happy for these guys, much deserved, and this was one of the best matches on the NXT Brand this year, a fast pace, physical & spot-heavy match. The crowd popped loudly for Hank and Tank. Fraxiom gave their respects after the match amazing piece of art was on display. Great stuff by everyone.
3rd Match: Sol Ruca vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Zaria vs. Izzi Dame vs. Lola Vice vs. Thea Hail in a Ladder Match for the (Vacant) WWE Women’s NXT North American Championship | Match Rating: **** | This was a pretty fun ladder match. All six women did a good job. Sol Ruca was the star of this match. She was everywhere in this match, from the crazy spots to the high-emotion drama when she and Zaria were on top of the ladder. Thea Hail had some crazy moments when Zaria pushed the ladder forward, and she took out The Culling with a cross-body. Zaria was dominating a lot of this match, she looked great as well. But the final moments of this match, where Sol Ruca turned it up by taking everyone out, was a good touch as she climbed to be the new WWE NXT Women's North American Champion. She is now a double champion as she's the WWE Women's Speed Champion and WWE NXT Women's North American Champion. What a week it has been for her. WWE is strapping the rocket as they have high hopes for her.
4th Match: Darkstate (Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin & Saquon Shugars) (with Cutler James) vs. The D’Angelo Family (Channing Lorenzo, Luca Crusifino & Tony D’Angelo) (with Adriana Rizzo) in a Six-Man Tag Team Match | Match Rating: ***.50 | This was a very fine Six-Man Tag Team Match. I was enjoying the match when it hit the midway point. The beginning of the match started slowly, but it started to pick up towards the end. Saquon Shugars and Orisis Griffin, I have my stocks in now. They both had a very good performance in this match. Saquon Shugars, I'm very much familiar with, as he was in DPW as Lucky Ali. But the drama with The D'Angelo Family hits its breaking point as Channing Lorenzo reached his breaking point and hit a low blow on Tony D'Angelo, turning on The D'Angelo Family and helping Darkstate get the big win. Now, Darkstate, what's next for them as Tony D'Angelo will be going after Channing Lorenzo.
5th Match: Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Giulia vs. Jaida Parker vs. Jordynne Grace in a Fatal-Four Way Match for the WWE NXT Women’s Championship | Match Rating: ****.25 | A very excellent title match and even more excellent Fatal-Four Way Match. This was amazing. All the women did a great job in this match. The pacing of this match was great, and the physicality of this match was amazing. I enjoyed this match so much. Stephanie Vaquer is so over with the crowd, they were cheering for everything she did in this match. Jordynne Grace had some great feats of strength in this match. Jaida Parker held her own against three of the best in the business today, and Giulia, I see going to the Main Roster, she might get the one-on-one match with Stephanie Vaquer as her final match in NXT before moving to the Main Roster. But what a great match. Stephanie Vaquer is one of the best in this business today. This was easily one of the best matches from this show. The women deserve flowers for their performances in this match.
The Main Event Match: Oba Femi (c) vs. Je’Von Evans vs. Trick Williams in a Triple Threat Match for the WWE NXT Championship | Match Rating: ***** | Amazing, amazing & amazing. This was easily one of the greatest Main Event Matches under HBK NXT Booking. I have no words. Oba Femi is a Superstar, Je'Von Evans is one of the best young talents in the wrestling game today & Trick Williams had one of his best performances in his young career. This match had it all. This was a great Triple Threat Match for the title. Oba Femi, I didn't expect to retain as I thought he would be jumping ship to the Main Roster. But I see that isn't happening. I do still see Je'Von Evans being the one who dethrones him in the future but what a damn match everyone in this man deserves the praise and flowers. I'm just amazed at how great this event was. Amazing Main Event to close out this great show. NXT gave us a huge show and delivered big-time.
