WWE NXT is gearing up for its highly anticipated Stand & Deliver event, and the upcoming go-home edition is set to be a blockbuster episode. Shawn Michaels and his team are leaving no stone unturned in their efforts to prepare the NXT Universe for the premium live event, and next week’s show promises to be an epic one.

One of the biggest highlights of the upcoming episode is the debut of Eddy Thorpe, a former NJPW star who is set to make his first appearance on the white and gold brand. A vignette played during the recent episode of WWE NXT, hyping up the arrival of Thorpe, who is actually Karl Fredericks.

Another major attraction of the show is a 20-man battle royale that will determine the fourth and final opponent for Wes Lee’s fatal five-way North American Championship match at Stand & Deliver. Lee has already handpicked his first three opponents, and the battle royale promises to be thrilling.

In addition, Sol Ruca, Ivy Nile, and Indi Hartwell will face off in a “Last Chance Qualifying Match for NXT Stand & Deliver.” The winner of the match will earn a spot in the ladder match for the vacant NXT Women’s Championship at the event on April 1st.

The excitement is building as Grayson Waller prepares to sign the contract for the proposed Unsanctioned Match against Johnny Gargano at NXT Stand & Deliver. Gargano threw down the challenge during a segment on NXT, and fans are eagerly anticipating the outcome of this highly anticipated matchup. All eyes will be on the contract signing, as the two wrestlers come face-to-face in what promises to be a must-see moment for wrestling fans.
