Stand & Deliver 2024 gets its fight for the NXT championship

[ad_1]

The main event of this week’s episode of NXT, a special titled “Roadblock,” featured Carmelo Hayes taking on Tony D’Angelo for the right to go to Stand & Deliver early next month in Philadelphia to challenge Ilja Dragunov for the NXT championship. Hayes brought a bunch of mask-clad security guys with him, saying he needed them because D’Angelo would make the normal security guys disappear.

The preparation for the match seemed obvious from there.

Then, at the end of the game, Trick Williams’ music played. The four security guards turned around and waited for him to approach, but he never came. Instead, it was a standard distraction through the theme song and Hayes turned to D’Angelo, who was taking care of business to score the pinfall.

Which means that Dragunov vs. D’Angelo for the NXT championship is now official for Stand & Deliver.

Perhaps even more important is the fact that this makes it equally clear that we are going to have the long-awaited Hayes vs. Trick Willy on that same show. Sure enough, Trick came back and yelled at Carmelo to close the show.

Here we go!
