WWE NXT Match Card for March 24, 2026
Here are the matches and segments announced for tonight's show:
Gauntlet Eliminator — NXT North American Title #1 Contender's Match: Jackson Drake vs. Dion Lennox vs. Shiloh Hill vs. More Competitors TBA
The winner earns a shot at Myles Borne's NXT North American Championship at Stand & Deliver. Interim GM Robert Stone announced the match last week, and the field includes three known participants with more expected to be added. Drake comes in as Evolve Champion, Lennox has been one of the brand's most consistent performers, and Shiloh Hill — the WWE LFG winner — has been on a fast track since arriving on the brand. Whoever survives gets a title shot on April 4.
NXT Tag Team Championship #1 Contenders Tournament Match: Eli Knight & Elio LeFleur vs. The Culling
The tag team tournament continues tonight with another semifinal. Robert Stone announced the tournament on the March 10 episode, with the finalists set to clash at NXT Roadblock and the winners earning a title shot against The Vanity Project (Brad Baylor & Ricky Smokes) for the NXT Tag Team Championship at Stand & Deliver.
Ricky Saints vs. Tony D'Angelo
This one has been building for weeks. After Tony D upended Joe Hendry, Ricky Saints, and Ethan Page all in one night on the March 17 show, the NXT landscape shifted. Saints gets his shot at D'Angelo here, though the bigger question is whether Joe Hendry finds a way to insert himself into the Stand & Deliver title picture before the night is over.
Thea Hail vs. Kelani Jordan
Thea Hail and Kelani Jordan had a tense backstage exchange last week after Jordan told Hail she needs to be more selfish to accomplish anything in NXT. Hail responded by reminding everyone she just got tapped out — and now she gets a chance to back it up in the ring. Jordan has been positioning herself as a more calculating competitor since her fallout with NXT following the NXT vs. TNA Showdown.
Tag Team Match
Lainey Reid & Fallon Henley vs. Wren Sinclair & Kendal Grey
There's plenty of unfinished business in the Fatal Influence orbit. Wren Sinclair dethroned Fallon Henley for the Women's Speed Championship last week, and Reid has been a key part of the Fatal Influence story. Sinclair and Grey represent a dangerous pairing against them tonight.
Sol Ruca and Zaria Meet Face-to-Face
The blowup between Sol Ruca and Zaria has been months in the making, culminating in Zaria turning on her partner two weeks ago during a title match, costing Ruca a shot at the NXT Women's Championship. Tonight they get in the same room. Whether this ends with a match announcement, a brawl, or both, it's the most personal story heading into Stand & Deliver.
Road to NXT Stand & Deliver 2026
NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 takes place Saturday, April 4 at The Factory at The District in St. Louis, Missouri. In a break from tradition, this year's event won't be held during WrestleMania weekend — giving NXT its own standalone moment two weeks before WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.
Tonight's show is essentially the final full build episode. By the end of the night, the North American Championship match should be set, the tag tournament will inch closer to its conclusion, and the women's division will have more clarity heading into what looks like a stacked card for April 4.
