WWE NXT STAND & DELIVER RESULTS (4/6/2024)
The “WWE Then. Now. Forever. Together.” opening signature narrated by WWE legend John Cena flashes on the screen to get us started as always.
We then shoot inside the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, PA. where Megan Morant, Sam Roberts and Arianna Grace welcome us to the Countdown to WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2024 pre-show.
After the trio of hosts finish their introductions, they begin running down the advertised lineup for today’s WWE NXT premium live event. We head into our first video package telling the story leading up to a match scheduled for the show, as the road to Lyra Valkyria vs. Roxanne Perez for the WWE NXT Women’s Championship is shown.
Once the package wraps up, we return to the pre-show hosts, who give their thoughts on the bout as we see live shots of Valkyria and Perez arriving to the building earlier today.

A video blog is shown of The Wolf Dogs, Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin, goofing off in the WWE NXT’s version of the MJF and Adam Cole story line from recent AEW memory. For some reason, we see some hype for WrestleMania XL’s six-woman bout with Jade Cargill, Bianca Belair and Naomi vs. Damage CTRL.
Following a quick commercial time out, we return to footage from last night that shows Tony D’Angelo in the city at night time talking about the significance of his NXT Championship opportunity against Ilja Dragunov today. The Family walks up and they all stand around the famous Rocky Balboa statue in Philadelphia.
Back live inside the Wells Fargo Center, someone decided to have mercy on the viewing audience at home, as Arianna Grace has been replaced on the hosting trio, with Ridge Holland now standing alongside Megan Morant and Sam Roberts to talk about the NXT Championship showdown between Dragunov and D’Angelo.

After that, we are sent down to the ringside area for a special three-man commentary team for today’s show. On the call are Vic Joseph, Booker T and Wade Barrett. They set the stage for our first match of the evening. On that note, Shawn Spears’ theme hits and out he comes.
Next, the theme for Joe Gacy plays and as always, the camera angle flips upside down as the wild man heads to the ring. Half way to the ring, Gacy is attacked from behind by Ridge Holland, who blasts him with a steel chair shot before walking away.

As they get close to the ringside area, we see Axiom and Frazer hit dives from the ring to the floor to start this one off with a bang. They head back in the ring and follow-up with another big diving spot.
Back inside the ring, the bell sounds to get this one officially off-and-running. Axiom and Bron Breakker kick things off for their respective teams. Axiom and Nathan Frazer hit a double drop kick on him, and then he tags out. Corbin comes in and Frazer, who is now the legal man for the challengers, hits a tornado DDT and a drop kick to the belly of the big man.

Frazer hits a shot that buys him enough time to leap over and tag Axiom back in. Axiom hits a wild kick and goes for the cover, but Corbin kicks out at the count of two.
From there, Baron hits a big slam on Axiom, followed by a suplex, to take back control of the offense. Breakker tags back in and shows off his speed as the fastest man to run the ropes in the business, running over Axiom with a Steiner-Line clothesline and letting out a war scream that gets the fans in Philly to pop.
Breakker has Axiom down and seemingly out, but pulls him up on the pin attempt and yells, “Not yet!” Axiom hits a big Spanish Fly to slow down Breakker. On the floor, Axiom and Frazer hit some wild spots near the commentary desks. After this, they go on a crazy offensive run that culminates with Frazer hitting a Phoenix Splash for a super close near fall on Corbin, which Breakker just barely breaks up.
From there, Corbin hit his End of Days on Axiom and then goes for it on Frazer, but lets him go in mid-air as Breakker sprints through him with his trademark Spear for the pin fall victory.

WWE NXT North American Championship
Oba Femi (C) vs. Dijak vs. Josh Briggs
In our second premium live event bout of the evening, third overall, we get another championship contest, as the WWE NXT North American Championship will be on-the-line. After the pre-match video package wraps up, we return live inside Wells Fargo Center backstage where WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2024 Hosts The Meta-Four are talking.
They tell Oro Mensah he’s the perfect person to set up the next bout, but as he does, the door he is standing in front of us swings open and knocks him out. Oba Femi walks through like nothing happened. Back inside the arena, the theme for Dijak hits and the camera shot turns black-and-white as he makes his way to the ring.
Out next is the second of the two challengers for this triple-threat title tilt, Josh Briggs. He settles in the ring and his music dies down. The entrance tune for the reigning, defending NXT North American Champion Oba Femi hits and out he comes to the cool entrance that sees the fans doing the loud chants on-tune with the beat of his theme.
Now things officially get off-and-running with this one as the bell sounds to get us started. Straight out of the gate we see Briggs and Dijak working together to take out the big man Femi. They hit him with some big power double-team spots and then start focusing on each other.
One crazy spot sees Oba Femi laid out while sitting on a computer chair. Josh Briggs gets Dijak on the ring apron outside of the ring ropes. He hits a huge hip-toss that sends Dijak flipping over and crashing onto Femi in the chair, which goes through the commentary desk at ringside.
The fans roar upon seeing this and then break into a loud “Holy sh*t! Holy sh*t!” chant. Back in the ring, the action continues and builds to Dijak and Briggs working together once again, hitting a huge double choke slam on Femi. Dijak takes Briggs to the tip-top rope and hits a JBL-esque lariat that turns Dijak inside-out as they both go crashing to the mat way down below.
Dijak avoids being pinned afterwards, so the action continues. Femi gets Dijak on his shoulders while Dijak has Briggs up for a Death Valley Driver. Femi leans to the side and slams Dijak down as Dijak simaltaneously flips Briggs over in mid-air to complete his Death Valley Driver on the way down. The crowd, and even Vic Joseph, react huge to that high spot.
Dijak seemed to have this one finished off. He goes for the cover on Femi, but Briggs goes for a moonsault. Dijak moves and Briggs hits Femi with the moonsault and then stands up and gets taken out by Dijak. Dijak nearly had Femi finished off, but Briggs yanks the referee out to the floor to stop this one from ending. Fans loudly boo and chant “Bullsh*t! Bullsh*t!”
Dijak hits a dive over the ropes to splash onto Briggs on the floor, turning the “Bullsh*t!” chants to “This is Awesome!” chants. On the floor, Briggs spears Femi through the barricade, but then turns into Dijak, who hits a Feast Your Eyes on him. Back in the ring, Dijak goes for his finisher again and once again connects.
He goes for the cover but Femi grabs him by the throat right as the ref was about to count to three. Femi hoists him up and power bombs him onto Briggs for the cover and the win. With the victory, Oba Femi retains his NXT North American Championship in what was an excellent match.
