WWE is gearing up for the road to WrestleMania 40, and that will include Stand & Deliver on April 6th. This afternoon show will be a big one, and it grew by one important match this week.
NXT Stand & Deliver will now feature an NXT Women's Title match. Lyra Valkyria will put her title on the line against a freshly turned Roxanne Perez.
The Set-Up
Roxanne Perez explained her heel turn in detail last week during NXT. This brought on a new side of her character, and she was able to demonstrate even more of that mean streak as she took on Tatum Paxley, who she beat via submission. Then she had a lot to say about her quest to regain the NXT Women's Title.
Perez told Ava to come out and give her the NXT Women's Title. She claimed to have taken out Lyra Valkyria already, so she wanted the belt.
That is when Lyra made her return instead. Then, Paxley's brief unintentional distraction opened the door for Perez, who capitalized by applying the Crossface on Valkyria. After securing the hold, Perez triumphantly displayed the NXT Women's Title over her vanquished opponent. Later on, Ava confirmed that the two will battle for the NXT Women's Title.
Another Possible NXT Stand & Deliver Match
Later on, Oba Femi came out for a promo, and Josh Briggs joined him. Briggs wants a shot at the NXT North American Title. Dijak entered the conversation next, and it looked like the three were going to throw down. That match was not booked, but NXT Stand & Deliver is taking shape.
It certainly appeared that Oba Femi is going to defend his NXT North American Title against Josh Briggs and Dijak at Stand & Deliver on Saturday, April 6. Only time will tell what they book for the big show.
