Aside from Tony D inexplicably winning the title and the crowd being complete ass, the show definitely overachieved. I think going forward you have to keep Stand and Deliver on Mania weekend. Either that or do it on the Thursday before Mania. I dont think having S&D 2 weeks before Mania works. Kill this experiment right now.

dont care bout no gloating man lol


Outside of shoe horning him into the main title picture there was nothing obvious about this
Joe Hendry was their guy and he barely was champion for 2 months

Niggas still dont know what this new Tony D character is supposed to be lol
Tony D being champ is the same as Indi Hartwell being champ... they gave him the "here nigga damn!!! You been here 5 years" title

Joe Hendry is WWE's main roster guy. He's not NXT. Brought him in NXT to put the belt on him real quick to add to his resume. Check. But the goal was always for him to hit the main. They want Joe Hendry and that fan base on a bigger stage....aka...TKO money grab.

Like I said...I told yall. The instant Tony came back wit that new look and new agenda...I knew they was gonna belt him up. I was just preparing yall for WHEN it happens. Yall didn't wanna listen. If a mofo returns wit a new look/gimmick BUT ALSO gets puts on that title path...most of time...management is gonna belt them up.

So now the test is gonna be HOW GOOD of a champion he's gonna be? What his reign will look like? Things imo that will factor in if he gets called up to the main roster.

In conclusion...in the year of our Lord...twenty twenty-six...on April forth...this man...

My grade for S&D...C+

Women's title match couldn't save this PLE. Put it back on WM weekend

this is exactly what it is

I like Tatum but her reign was the same thing sadly

NXT is in a weird place right now

they always go through these rebuilding phases and are able to shake back but with this one its been weird as hell and for some unknown reason they're struggling to pull it together. I dont understand why either?! cus for a change.. its not like they working with a roster full of green recruits they got people who theyve had on the show that they just need to elevate up the fkin card and they got new people who they brought in who actually got experience but just need to be utilized.

its no reason at all why they should be putting the strap on Tony D or leaving it on Pax
 
All that takes times. Yall want shyt to happen quick, fast, and in a hurry.

Why do you think they put the NXT title on Ciampa instead of the other NXT 2.0 newbies? Or why Joe Hendry/Ethan/Ricky got belted up b4 the newer guys?

B4 you can throw mofos in the deep end...you gotta see how they swim first. Every ONCE IN A BLUE MOON a talent will stand out (Bron...Oba) where they say "YES! We gotta put the belt on her/him asap."

Now you did have vets like Jordynne...especially wit her experience...who should've gotten belted up. WWE dropped the ball wit her time in NXT. Evans should've gotten belted up. But I understand why they bumped him up. A talent like his deserved to be on a bigger stage.

Tony gettin the strap makes sense. Cuz IF Joe/Ethan/Ricky are soon to be main roster bound...then just put it on Tony until then. Might still get a rematch b/t him and Joe. Or if Temu Randy drops the NA title to Dion...you could see a story there. Who knows.

I'm open to it all. B/c at the end of the day...this era of NXT is FAAAAARRRRRR better than VKM's 2.0. Lol

I feel you. But Thursday? Thats a lot of damn wrestling. Thats 8 shows in 9 nights. And a 5 night Wrestlemania weekend.

It could work. But its a lot.

Tony D'Angelo winning the NXT Title makes sense but who do you replace Ethan, Hendry, & Starks with in the main event picture? Those are BIG losses for the NXT main event picture once those names go to the main roster. Last time I checked, NXT's main event picture isn't the strongest.

Stand & Deliver just needs to stick with being attached to WM weekend bottom line. I don't even watch NXT but that roster isn't strong enough to warrant having a stand alone PLE like back in the original black & gold era.

I was just saying IF. I don't see them leaving anytime soon. Especially since both are chasing gold. I can also see them continuing a 1v1 feud wit Hendry and Tony for the title.

He would be on the main roster if that was the case.
He's been an NXT fixture since he's been in, around and signed to WWE as a company
I hate when you guys do this shit lol we all watch the same shows

Tony D is the champ and we dont care but lets not pretend like Joe Hendry hasnt been largely seen on NXT and not RAW / SD

What you mean 8 shows?

RAW - Monday
Regular NXT - Tuesday
Stand and Deliver - Thursday
SD - Friday
WM Night 1 - Saturday
WM Night 2 - Sunday

Thats the same amount of shows you would have if Stand and Deliver was kept on its normal WM Saturday slot. Are you counting TNA???

I'm cool with Tatum still being champ cause now that Lola is champ, it opens a lane for Blake to just go for the belt that matters lol
Blake couldnt challenge for the main title cause Jacy was holdin it down. You got Wren, Kali coming up, Lainey and Ariana around right now. My guess is that Lainey will now start getting a push. The women will always be good.

The men are still in a weird spot cause we dont know who we're supposed to care about. Joe, Ricky and Ethan are the core right now but they are fringe main roster call ups so once they're gone there will be no stars lol This is why you shoulda just kept the belt on Joe at the least the belt would be on a star player. Tony D getting the belt only highlights the problem. Its clear they didnt want to let him go but they couldnt just send him to Raw / SD as the mob nigga. Feels like putting the belt on him was to award him for being a super senior and to rehab his image before calling him up.
