Joe Hendry to defend against three challengers after chaotic ending
Summary
– Fatal 4 Way match announced for NXT Championship
– Joe Hendry to defend against Ricky Saints Ethan Page, and Tony DAngelo
– Match made official after wild closing segment on NXT
WWE has officially added a major championship match to Stand and Deliver as Joe Hendry will defend the NXT Title in a Fatal 4 Way bout. The announcement came following a chaotic ending to the March 24 episode of NXT.
The show closed with a singles match between Ricky Saints and Tony DAngelo, but the situation quickly spiraled when Ethan Page interfered and attacked DAngelo. The outside involvement shifted the focus away from the match itself.
NXT Champion Joe Hendry then made his way to the ring and took control, fighting off both Page and Saints before turning his attention toward DAngelo. The confrontation left all four competitors involved in the growing tension.
The final moments showed Saints and Page both holding the NXT Championship, while Hendry and DAngelo looked on. That image set the stage for what was to come next.
Backstage, Interim General Manager Robert Stone confirmed the match, making it official that Hendry will defend the title against Saints, Page, and DAngelo at Stand and Deliver.
With four competitors now in the mix, the NXT Championship picture becomes far more unpredictable heading into the event. The match is expected to be one of the biggest highlights on the card.
