NXT

On April 4, NXT had its Stand & Deliver fall out episode. Things kicked off big with the new NXT Women’s Champion Indi Hartwell heading to the ring to open the show. Hartwell was greeted by a huge “you deserve it chant” before explaining she waited so long to hear that and thought she never might.

Continuing to soak up her moment, Hartwell gave praise to the other five women in the ladder match. She singled out Roxanne Perez and seeing as she is the former champion, Hartwell wanted to give her first dibs at a match. However, it wouldn’t be Perez’s music that hit as Zoey Stark made her way to the ring.

Stark spent plenty of time belittling Hartwell before challenging her to a title match later in the show. A challenge Hartwell accepted.

The match would take place later in the night and saw Hartwell retain. Stark almost had the match won after hitting a massive Z360, but Hartwell rolled out of the ring. Back in, Stark went for the pin but the champ would kick out and get the pin herself.

Post match, two new challengers arose. Tiffany Stratton made her way out to the ramp while exchange glances at Hartwell – Cora Jade returned! Jade jumped Hartwell from behind before making her way to the back. She exchanged words with Stratton letting her know she would become the next champion.

A bit later, Jade was leaving the arena as Lyra Valkyria approached her and told her she isn’t here to dwell on the past. However, for the future, Cora can’t escape her fate.

A promo aired for the new NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre. While celebrating their victory they confirmed they didn’t officially scorch the earth but they sent a warning to any other tag team who dares come in their way.

As for the former tag champions, Fallon Henley finally let it slip out that Kiana James was talking to Sebastian. James admitted it but told Brooks they weren’t exclusive so her talking to someone else wasn’t a big deal. Now she feels that once they kissed she feels different but at the same time Brooks let her down. He did not trust her during the tag title match and now James doesn’t have gold around her waist.

Prior to NXT kicking off, Shawn Michaels announced on his Twitter account that Roxanne Perez would not be cleared for Stand & Deliver. As a result, a new champion would be determined in a Ladder Match. On the March 14 episode of NXT, two women have qualified so far for the bout. Zoey Stark and Gigi Dolin.

The first match would be between Stark and Sol Ruca. Both women were equally paced throughout the match. The final moments had Ruca hitting a moonsault on the outside to Stark while landing on her feet. Once back in the ring, Ruca went for a springboard move but Stark caught her in a Belly-to-back GTS to get the pin and the win.

The second match was between Kiana James and Gigi Dolin. Prior to this match, Jacy Jayne had a backstage interview where she showed she had her arm in a sling. Her shoulder was dislocated during her match against Dolin at Roadblock.

Dolin would get the win over James before James was attacked by Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn who earned the number one contender spot for James/Fallon Henley’s tag team titles at Stand & Deliver.

At Stand & Deliver on WrestleMania Saturday (April 1), Kiana James and Fallon Henley will put the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championships on the line as they face the team of Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn.

Fyre & Dawn won a number one contenders match that took place on the March 14 episode of NXT. It was a triple-threat match that also included Katana Chance & Kayden Carter along with Ivy Nile & Tatum Paxley. The final moments of the match took place when Nile went for a tag and Paxley refused to tag in.

Paxley jumped down from the ring apron turning on her tag team partner in the process claiming that they were never a team. She would attack her on the outside of the ring when the match was still going on. Fyre & Dawn have been driving a wedge between Nile & Paxley for weeks saying that Paxley is never included in the Diamond Mine group. They finally got into the head of Paxley. Fyre pinned Nile for the win in the match.

Fyre & Dawn are now going to go from one team that has seemingly broken up to another that can’t get along – the champions. We find out after some snooping from Henley and Josh Briggs that the person who sent the roses to James was someone named, Sebastian. James has also been having meals with this individual based on her day planner.

Later in the night, James had a qualifying match for the NXT Women’s Title Ladder Match at Stand & Deliver. She lost to Gigi Dolin and then was attacked by Fyre & Dawn. Without Henley in sight, Jensen came out to help her. Moments later, Henley and Briggs showed up wondering why they kept getting calls.
