WWE NXT aired live on March 24, 2026 from the WWE Performance Center in Winter Park, Florida. The show featured a Gauntlet Eliminator Match to determine Myles Borne’s challenger for the NXT North American Championship at Stand & Deliver, Ricky Saints taking on Tony D’Angelo in the main event, and Robert Stone making a major Fatal 4-Way NXT Championship match official for Stand & Deliver.
Location: WWE Performance Center, Winter Park, Florida
Commentary Team: Vic Joseph & Booker T
Ring Announcer: Mike Rome
As the show opened, Robert Stone was shown talking with Shiloh Hill backstage. Shiloh made it clear that he wanted to be the first entrant in tonight’s Gauntlet Match. Tatum Paxley then joined the conversation, and Stone admitted that what happened to her last week was not right, but he had been unable to find Blake Monroe anywhere in the building. Paxley reminded him that Monroe had her North American Championship. Shiloh offered to help Paxley track Monroe down.
Josh Briggs then approached Stone and tried to make his case, but before he could finish, referee Jeremy Marcus rushed in to report that several superstars had been laid out on the floor backstage. Stone immediately ran off, leaving Briggs behind.
Kendal Grey & Wren Sinclair vs. Fatal Influence
Wren Sinclair and Fallon Henley started things off, with Sinclair using her speed early to avoid Henley’s offense and score with a deep arm-drag. Henley quickly answered by driving Sinclair into the turnbuckles and working her over with shoulder blocks and strikes.
Sinclair battled back and brought Kendal Grey into the match, allowing the babyface team to build momentum with quick tags and tandem offense. At the same time, a split screen showed Robert Stone backstage discovering Elio LeFleur and Eli Knight laid out, prompting him to call for medical attention.
Back in the ring, Fatal Influence regained control as Henley and Lainey Reid isolated Sinclair. Reid scored with a running uppercut and big splash, while Henley added a sliding forearm and later worked Sinclair over with a rear chin lock and Rings of Saturn.
Sinclair eventually fought through the punishment, creating separation and making the hot tag to Grey. Grey entered with a burst of offense, scoring with two elbow knockdowns, an overhead belly-to-belly suplex, a snap German suplex, and a leaping DDT for a near-fall.
The action broke down late as both teams traded counters. Fatal Influence connected with their Hot Shot/Wheelbarrow German Suplex combination, and Reid followed with a pumphandle Ushigoroshi for a close two-count. However, Grey survived, countered another Ushigoroshi attempt into a stunner, then blasted Reid with a discus back elbow.
Grey finally trapped Reid in a Cross-Arm-Breaker while Sinclair neutralized Henley with The Final Wrench on the mat. Reid had no choice but to tap out.
After the match, Kendal Grey said Wren took the Speed Title from Fallon last week, and now she had tapped out Lainey Reid. Kendal then declared that at Stand & Deliver, she would take the NXT Women’s Championship from Jacy Jayne.
Lola Vice interrupted and said they could both agree it was time for a new woman to run the division, but insisted Stand & Deliver would be her night, as she plans to break Jacy’s jaw and become the first Cuban American NXT Women’s Champion.
Robert Stone then stepped in and announced that next week in New York City, Lola Vice will face Kendal Grey, with the winner challenging Jacy Jayne at Stand & Deliver.
Winners: Kendal Grey & Wren Sinclair via Submission
Sol Ruca and Zaria confront each other
Sol Ruca came to the ring and admitted she had gone back and forth about what she wanted to say. Sol said she had seen everything Zaria had posted and heard everything she had said, and made it clear that this version of Zaria was not the woman she thought she knew. Sol said what hurt the most was not that this happened, but that she believed they were stronger than this.
Ruca reflected on how much she had done for Zaria, not just as a tag team partner, but as her best friend. She said she fought for Zaria when no one else would, made sure Zaria’s name meant something, and shared every opportunity that came her way because she genuinely believed they were better together.
Sol listed the many moments she says she gave Zaria, including SmackDown, Evolution, WWE Women’s Tag Team Championship opportunities, John Cena’s last match, a battle royal spot, a TNA Knockouts Championship match, and even defending and losing Sol’s own NXT Women’s North American Championship. Sol said that while she was fighting for both of them, Zaria was simply waiting for a chance to make everything about herself. Sol then challenged Zaria to prove she could stand on her own at Stand & Deliver.
Zaria came out and said Sol still did not get it. She claimed all she ever wanted was “us,” but said Sol wanted her own success more. Zaria insisted Sol never gave her anything, and that every time she stepped into the ring, she was not Zaria, but “Sol Ruca’s partner.” Zaria said spearing and F5’ing Sol was not betrayal, but finally taking back what Sol had taken from her.
Zaria told Sol she hated standing beside the person who had everything she wanted, and said that as long as Sol was standing, she would never rise. She accepted the challenge for Stand & Deliver and said that if breaking Sol was what it took to become what Sol would never let her be, then she would do it again.
Sol fired back and accused Zaria of gaslighting her, manipulating her, and treating the relationship like a transaction. She said she earned her opportunities and Zaria threw everything away because she was too insecure to stand beside her.
Zaria cut her off with one final line, telling Sol that she was not the villain in her story — she was the mistake.
Backstage, Ethan Page and Ricky Saints gloated about their sneak attack on Joe Hendry from the previous week. Page subtly teased wanting the NXT Championship, and Saints pushed him to say it clearly. Page admitted he wants to be NXT Champion, which sparked more bickering between the two since Saints wants the same thing.
Josh Briggs then interrupted and said he could not believe they were arguing over title opportunities while he could not even get five minutes with Robert Stone. Briggs also pointed out that while Ricky kept talking about fighting Joe Hendry, it was Page who actually pinned him. Joe Hendry then showed up and said he did not care which one of them wanted the title shot, but if Ricky Saints did not take care of Tony D’Angelo tonight, then Hendry would deal with him himself at Stand & Deliver. Page told Ricky to lock in, while Ricky insisted he had Tony D exactly where he wanted him.
Kelani Jordan vs. Thea Hail
Thea Hail came out aggressive, going right after Kelani Jordan with a Lou Thesz Press and ground-and-pound. Jordan recovered quickly and used her athleticism to take over, including an ankle pick in mid-air and a release Northern Lights suplex for a two-count.
Hail mounted a comeback with Polish Hammers, repeated back elbows, and a corner clothesline before trapping Jordan in the Kimura Lock. Jordan escaped by driving Hail face-first into the middle turnbuckle pad, then followed up with an X-Factor.
Jordan finished things off with a Split-Legged Moonsault to score the victory.
After the match, Jordan continued the attack, repeatedly stomping on Hail and dragging her to the middle of the ring to apply her deep short-arm scissors hold. Jaida Parker then rushed in to make the save, blasting Jordan with a big boot, a right hand, and a Gourdbuster. Parker looked for The Hypnotic, but Jordan escaped to the outside before she could hit it.
Winner: Kelani Jordan via Pinfall
A Jasper Troy vignette then aired, announcing that next week at The Theater at Madison Square Garden, Troy will go one-on-one with Keanu Carver. Troy said he was fighting on behalf of Booker T, whom he views as a father figure, and promised revenge for Carver trying to ruin Booker T Appreciation Night.
Backstage, Tatum Paxley continued her frantic search for Blake Monroe. Shiloh Hill revealed that Monroe had posted her location on Instagram and handed Tatum the address. Shiloh then heard his entrance music and rushed off, saying he needed to win the Gauntlet Match.
Jackson Drake vs. Shiloh Hill vs. Dion Lennox vs. Charlie Dempsey vs. Johnny Gargano – Gauntlet Eliminator Match
Winner earns an NXT North American Championship match against Myles Borne at Stand & Deliver
Shiloh Hill and Jackson Drake started the Gauntlet Eliminator. Drake got the early edge with his speed and precision, but Hill answered back with a tilt-a-whirl slam and an inside-out senton splash. Hill controlled the pace until Dion Lennox entered as the third participant.
Lennox immediately imposed himself, flattening both men with hard strikes, a Northern Lights suplex, and a spinebuster. Drake tried to sneak in offense where he could, but the match shifted again when Charlie Dempsey entered next and took control with his technical grappling and uppercuts.
Dempsey slowed things down with suplexes, submissions, and knee-based offense, while the chaos continued to build between all four men. Then Candice LeRae appeared on the stage and revealed that she had been trying everything possible to get Johnny Gargano out of his funk, except taking him away from the place they called home.
That brought out Gargano as the final entrant, though he looked completely disengaged and had no interest in competing. Gargano lounged on the apron and even lay across the ringside barricade while the rest of the field continued battling around him.
Outside the ring, OTM attacked Dion Lennox and slammed him onto a broken barricade piece before rolling him back in. Hill capitalized and pinned Lennox to score the first elimination.
Dion Lennox eliminated
The match continued with Hill, Drake, and Dempsey battling while Gargano remained detached. Drake eventually eliminated Hill’s momentum with high-impact offense, but Hill rallied and planted Drake with a Pop-Up NeckBreaker to score the next elimination.
Jackson Drake eliminated
Hill and Dempsey then went at it one-on-one in a physical exchange, with Dempsey mixing in knee strikes, a Northern Lights suplex, and a bridging butterfly suplex for near-falls. Hill kept fighting and eventually connected with another Pop-Up NeckBreaker to pin Dempsey.
Charlie Dempsey eliminated
After the fall, The Birthright attacked Hill on the floor and drove him into the steel steps. Dempsey added a German suplex on the outside before returning to the ring. Candice then shoved the disengaged Gargano onto Hill for the cover, handing her husband the victory by pinfall.
After the match, Gargano and Myles Borne had a tense staredown.
Winner: Johnny Gargano via Pinfall
Backstage, The Vanity Project and Josh Briggs continued trying to get Robert Stone’s attention, but Stone was distracted again by another official. Referee Daryl told Stone that nobody wanted to officiate the Keanu Carver vs. Jasper Troy match next week because Carver was out of control. Stone warned that fines and suspensions were possible, but said he would figure it out.
Jaida Parker then joined the conversation and said she was not buying Kelani Jordan’s new attitude. Stone responded by making Jaida Parker vs. Kelani Jordan official for next week at The Theater at Madison Square Garden.
It was also announced that Sycho Sid will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame as part of the Class of 2026.
A Tiffany Stratton NXT Origins vignette then aired.
OTM later told Sarah Schreiber they had unfinished business with DarkState. They said DarkState made things personal last week in Houston, so they made it official this week. OTM and Mike Santana will now face DarkState in a six-man tag team match.
The Culling vs. Los Americanos – WWE NXT Tag Team Championship Number One Contenders Tournament Match
Shawn Spears and Bravo Americano opened the match with a clean wrestling exchange before Bravo used his speed to get the better of Spears with a deep arm-drag and a basement dropkick. Rayo Americano and Niko Vance then entered, and Los Americanos used quick tags and double-team offense to stay in control.
The Culling eventually turned the tide and slowed things down through the commercial break, with Spears trying to rip off Bravo’s mask while Vance used his power advantage to wear the masked team down.
Rayo eventually caught fire after the hot tag, landing a running enzuigiri, a dropkick, a Shotgun Meteora, and a moonsault press for a near-fall. Bravo followed with more offense of his own, including an Airplane Spin, but The Culling continued to find openings and nearly stole it with Spears’ C4.
Late in the match, Rayo put on the steel plate, and the finish followed shortly after. Rayo headbutted Spears from the outside with the loaded mask, Bravo knocked Vance off the apron with a headbutt, and then Bravo connected with The Running HeadButt to pick up the win.
After the match, Los Americanos had a staredown with The Birthright.
Winners: Los Americanos via Pinfall
Backstage, Keanu Carver was shown in Robert Stone’s office complaining that he did not care if referees did not want to officiate his match next week because they need to grow up, as he plans to smash Jasper Troy’s face in. Stone warned him that fines were still on the table.
Josh Briggs then entered and volunteered to serve as the special referee if that is what it takes for him to be part of next week’s show at Madison Square Garden. Briggs said he was not scared of Carver or Troy and told Carver he would see him in New York.
Blake Monroe and Tatum Paxley segment
Blake Monroe appeared in a pre-taped segment relaxing in a jacuzzi while speaking directly to the NXT Women’s North American Championship. Monroe said she had been lonely bathing without the title, but that it felt right to be reunited with “her” championship because she never wanted to lose it in the first place.
Monroe then answered a knock at the door, only to find Tatum Paxley waiting for her. Paxley immediately grabbed Blake by the hair and reminded her that she was holding something that belonged to her. Tatum then warned Monroe that they will meet face-to-face next week, and the door will not be between them.
A stunned Monroe was left standing there in her robe as the segment ended.
It was also announced that Sexyy Red will return to NXT at Stand & Deliver in St. Louis.
Ricky Saints (w/ Ethan Page) vs. Tony D’Angelo
Ricky Saints tried to open the match with a handshake, but Tony D’Angelo was not buying it. The two traded control early in a technical exchange before Saints regrouped on the outside and briefly lost his footing around the steel steps.
Back in the ring, Saints targeted Tony’s right shoulder, sending him into the ring post and focusing much of his offense around that body part. Saints mixed in a CodeBreaker to the shoulder, Old School, and a steady dose of stomps and strikes while keeping Tony grounded.
Tony eventually fought back with haymakers, corner clotheslines, and multiple overhead belly-to-belly suplexes. He also took Ethan Page off the apron with a running forearm and looked to have momentum fully on his side.
Saints fought back with a spear for a close two-count and continued to punish Tony, but D’Angelo refused to stay down. Tony rallied again with an inside-out lariat and another explosive sequence before looking to put the match away with Forget About It.
At that point, Ethan Page chop blocked Tony from the outside, causing the disqualification.
After the match, Page jumped Tony and joined Saints in a two-on-one beatdown. Page set up for Ego’s Edge, but Joe Hendry rushed out and turned the tide. Hendry crotched Saints on the top turnbuckle, teed off on Page, and delivered a pair of clotheslines before planting Page with a Fallaway Slam. Hendry then sent Saints over the top rope.
Hendry and Tony D’Angelo briefly stared each other down, but Hendry then drilled Tony with Standing Ovation. The chaos continued as Saints and Page got into a tug-of-war over the NXT Championship.
The show then cut to Robert Stone’s office, where Stone told Sarah Schreiber that Joe Hendry will defend the NXT Championship against Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, and Tony D’Angelo in a Fatal 4-Way Match at Stand & Deliver.
Winner: Tony D’Angelo via Disqualification
WWE NXT continues next week from The Theater at Madison Square Garden with Lola Vice facing Kendal Grey to determine Jacy Jayne’s challenger for Stand & Deliver, Jasper Troy taking on Keanu Carver, Jaida Parker facing Kelani Jordan, and Johnny Gargano now set to challenge Myles Borne for the NXT North American Championship at Stand & Deliver.
