NXT Stand & Deliver Moved Away From WrestleMania Week – WWE has confirmed a major scheduling shift for NXT Stand & Deliver 2026. The annual premium live event will no longer take place during WrestleMania weekend.
Instead, NXT Stand & Deliver is set for Saturday, April 4, in the St. Louis area. The show will be held two weeks before WrestleMania takes place in Las Vegas. This marks a departure from recent years, when the event was positioned as part of the WrestleMania week lineup.
The venue for the 2026 edition will be The Factory in Chesterfield, Missouri. A ticket pre-sale begins March 3, with general ticket sales opening March 4.
Shawn Michaels announced the news and emphasized the significance of the move.
“I want to break some big news,” Michaels said. “On Saturday, April 4, NXT will be bringing one of its biggest PLEs to one of the greatest wrestling cities in all the world. Stand & Deliver, Saturday, April 4, will take place at The Factory in St. Louis, Missouri. Tickets will go on sale March 4, with a pre-sale on March 3. And trust me, this is a PLE you won’t want to miss.”
The night before Stand & Deliver, WWE SmackDown will emanate from the Enterprise Center, also in St. Louis.
NXT heads into this announcement following a notable February 24 episode that featured three title changes. Myles Borne captured the men’s North American Championship. The Vanity Project secured the NXT Tag Team Titles. Elio LeFleur also claimed WWE Speed gold.
Momentum toward Stand & Deliver is expected to increase after NXT Vengeance Day on March 7. NXT will also hold television tapings in Houston on March 17 and in New York City on March 31 as part of the build to the April 4 event.
