Next week is a week for wrestling fans, as WrestleMania and NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver will both have massive two-night events. During tonight’s NXT much of the Stand & Deliver card was finalized, so aside from some random surprise we now know what will happen on each of the two nights, and trust us, both nights are loaded with big matchups. Between both nights all of NXT’s Championships will be defended except for the Women’s Tag Team Championships, though they were defended successfully tonight, with Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon retaining.

It will also include a match between Adam Cole and Kyle O’Reilly, which was added right at the end of tonight’s show. The match will be an unsanctioned match because O’Reilly is actually not medically cleared to compete, so he had to waive NXT’s liability in order to have the match.
Here’s the official description for tonight’s episode.
“The march toward NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver continues with another huge edition of NXT! NXT General Manager William Regal will address the volatile situation between Kyle O’Reilly and Adam Cole, NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai is set to team with Zoey Stark against Raquel González & Dakota Kai, Karrion Kross clashes with Oney Lorcan and more.”
