Several key matches were made official o the March 24 episode of WWE NXT on The CW, as the brand continues its push toward Stand & Deliver on April 4.
An in-ring segment involving Sol Ruca and ZARIA added another layer to their ongoing story. Ruca addressed ZARIA’s recent betrayal and made it clear she felt blindsided after giving her former partner multiple opportunities. She then called ZARIA out and challenged her to a match at Stand & Deliver.
ZARIA came out and explained her actions, stating, “I was always seen as just Sol’s friend, but when I turned on you, I became ZARIA again.”
Ruca pushed back, questioning how she had become the villain in ZARIA’s perspective. ZARIA responded with a sharp remark, saying, “You’re the mistake in my story.”
The exchange confirmed their match for April 4, adding a personal and emotional clash to the event.
Later in the night, the main event saw Ricky Saints face Tony D’Angelo in singles competition. Saints was accompanied by Ethan Page, and the match quickly turned chaotic when Page interfered and attacked D’Angelo.
That brought out NXT Champion Joe Hendry, who ran to the ring and fought off both Page and Saints. After clearing the ring, Hendry turned his attention to D’Angelo, who had previously targeted him in recent weeks.
The closing moment of the show saw Page and Saints both holding the NXT Championship belt, while Hendry and D’Angelo looked on from the background. The visual highlighted the growing tension around the title picture.
Backstage, NXT Interim General Manager Robert Stone later confirmed a major announcement. At Stand & Deliver on April 4, Joe Hendry will defend the NXT Championship in a Fatal 4-Way match against Ricky Saints, Ethan Page, and Tony D’Angelo.
In addition, a contract signing for the title match is scheduled for the March 31 episode of WWE NXT, which will take place at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden in New York City.
With multiple rivalries reaching a boiling point, WWE NXT is set for a stacked Stand & Deliver card, and the March 31 episode is expected to play a key role in the final build.
