NXT Stand & Deliver (2025) Report Card

NXT Stand & Deliver 2025 featured 7 matches with a whopping 33 in ring competitors.  Of those 33 over half (18) of them were women.  An interesting approach by NXT to feature only a single one on one match, and so many women. It is clear that their female roster is loaded and they didn’t have a single feud strong enough for a one on one match other then Saints vs Page, two AEW originals. Let’s hand out the grades.

Fatal four-way tag team elimination match to determine the #1 contenders for the WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship

Meta-Four (Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson) vs. Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley and Jacy Jayne) vs. Tatum Paxley and Gigi Dolin vs. Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade.

Recap and result – The WWE Women’s Tag team division is on life support.  The pairing of Cora Jade and Roxanne Perez would have given it the instant quick start it badly needs.  If you’re not going to go with them, then why not Meta Four or Fatal Influence?  Instead, they went with the two women thrown together, something they need to get away from.  Poor choice, this was the fourth best option out of four.

Grade –  C

Ladder match for the vacant NXT Women’s North American Championship

Zaria vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Sol Ruca vs. Izzi Dame vs. Lola Vice vs. Thea Hail

Recap and result – WrestleMania is known for great ladder matches and this continued the tradition with a fantastic match!  The right person won with Sol Ruca as well, she has the potential to be the one of the biggest stars the NXT Women’s Division has ever seen!

Grade –  A

Fatal four-way match for the NXT Women’s Championship

Stephanie Vaquer (c) vs. Giulia vs. Jordynne Grace vs. Jaida Parker

Recap and result –  NXT may have it’s first Match of the Year candidate as this one was an absolute gem!  All four women shined and the decision to keep the strap on Stephanie Vaquer was a smart one.  Again, if you didn’t see the match, make a commitment to go watch, it was incredible!

Grade – A

Tag team match for the NXT Tag Team Championship

Nathan Frazer and Axiom (c) vs. Hank Walker and Tank Ledger

Recap and result – Hank and Tank win the belts! Wow, this was a major upset but it gives the WWE not just NXT, but the WWE in whole, another tag team to be taken serious and that is something they truly needed.

Grade – B

Singles match for the NXT North American Championship

Ricky Saints (c) vs. Ethan Page

Recap and result – Ricky Saints may be awful on the microphone, but he showed today that he can still bring it in the ring and that is why he is a major signing for NXT.  Page once again had a stellar match, something he has done a lot since arriving in NXT. Saints retaining was smart as they continue to build him.

Grade – B

Six-man tag team match

The D’Angelo Family (Tony D’Angelo, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, and Luca Crusifino) (with Adriana Rizzo) vs. DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, and/or Osiris Griffin

Recap and result – We all knew the turn was coming with Stacks, but it was still played out perfectly.  The match itself was a bit of a botch fest or else this would have been an A. Rizzo may have been in disbelief, Vic was at a loss for words, but truly, everyone saw this coming!

Grade – B

Triple threat match for the NXT Championship

Oba Femi (c) vs. Trick Williams vs. Je’Von Evans

Recap and result – Oba Femi winning leads me to believe that Trick Williams will be headed to the main roster soon.  Je’Von Evans stole the show in this match however, he looked great while Williams had yet another Main Event in which he failed to deliver in ring.  Oba Femi is a beast and I would love a one on one match between him and Evans down the road.

Grade – B
