NXT at MSG Set for Major Matches and Mike Santana Return

WWE NXT continues its build toward Stand & Deliver, with a loaded episode scheduled for March 31 at the Infosys Theater inside MSG in New York City. The show will feature key matches and segments that will shape the card for the upcoming Premium Live Event.

One of the major highlights is the return of TNA World Champion Mike Santana. He appeared on the March 24 episode and made his intentions clear. Santana announced that he will team up with O.T.M., made up of Bronco Nima and Lucien Price, to face DarkState, which includes Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin, and Saquon Shugars. During his message, Santana issued a direct warning.

“They’ve felt these hands before, but never like this. This is Madison Square Garden. When you get off that plane, wipe your feet and pay your respects.”

That match adds a strong crossover element and raises the stakes for the New York City crowd.

Another important bout will see Kendal Grey face Lola Vice. The winner will earn a title opportunity against Jacy Jayne at Stand & Deliver. This match carries clear implications for the NXT women’s division and could determine a future champion.

Kelani Jordan is also set to face Jaida Parker in what is expected to be a physical contest. Both competitors are looking to gain momentum at a key point on the road to Stand & Deliver.

The tag team division will also be in focus. Birth Rite will take on Los Americanos in a number one contender’s match. The winning team will challenge The Vanity Project for the NXT Tag Team Titles at Stand & Deliver, making this a crucial matchup.

In another featured bout, Keanu Carver will go one-on-one with Jasper Troy. This match stems from Carver disrupting Booker T Appreciation Night, and Troy is looking for revenge. Due to the intensity of the rivalry, Josh Briggs has been assigned as the special referee, as no other official agreed to take the role.

Additionally, Tatum Paxley and Blake Monroe will meet face-to-face. This comes after Monroe took possession of Paxley’s NXT Women’s North American Title without officially winning it. The segment is expected to lead to a match announcement.

With several matches tied directly to Stand & Deliver, this episode of NXT at Madison Square Garden is set to play a major role in shaping upcoming storylines.
