WWE WrestleMania 40: Knuckles Takes Over WWE NXT Stand & Deliver

04/06/2024 07:30 pm EDT

It's WrestleMania 40 weekend, and things got kicked off with a bang by a special guest appearance from Knuckles during WWE NXT Stand & Deliver! WWE NXT Stand & Deliver started off the weekend strong with a premium live event featuring some of NXT's biggest stars, and this also included going all out for some of the promotional partnerships throughout the event as well. This included a special partnership with Knuckles, the upcoming live-action CG hybrid Sonic the Hedgehog spin-off series coming to Paramount+. But it wasn't just a few graphics, however, as it went the extra mile with an extra bit of fun. 

With Knuckles making its premiere with Paramount+ later this month, WWE NXT Stand & Deliver not only hosted its NXT North American Championship match by the series, but Knuckles himself even made an appearance behind the announce desk for the match. It was a bit of fun during an especially packed weekend that fans will see even more promotions, so check out Knuckles below. 

WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2024 Match Card and Results

Set between the events of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 and Sonic the Hedgehog 3, Knuckles follows Knuckles (Idris Elba) on a hilarious and action-packed journey of self-discovery as he agrees to train Wade (Adam Pally) as his protégé and teach him the ways of the Echidna warrior. It will be premiering with Paramount+ later this month. Which means fans will be able to see much more of Knuckles in his own series soon enough!
