To close the 3/12 NXT, Trick Williams called out Carmelo Hayes for a match at Stand & Deliver on April 6th. He was interrupted by The Meta-Four (Noam Dar, Lash Legend, Jakara Jackson & Oro Mensah). After some verbal back and forth, Williams took out both Dar and Mensah. Legend swung on Williams but he pulled her in for a kiss. The two are in a relationship off-screen.
While The Family (Tony D’Angelo, Channing ‘Stacks’ Lorenzo, Adriana Rizzo & Luca Crusifino) were having dinner, they were approached by D’Angelo’s Stand & Deliver opponent, NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov. Lorenzo, Crusifino and Rizzo left the table and when Dragunov had his back turned, Crusifino and Stacks kidnapped him. Cameras cut to Luca and Stacks waiting for D’Angelo by a running car. The Family took Dragunov to a bridge and that was so that D’Angelo could show him that he can make anything happen at any time. They left Dragunov at the bridge and he stated that he always finds a way back.
Shawn Spears scored a victory over Ridge Holland. Holland put him through the commentary table and was going to hit him with a chair before the referee pulled the weapon away. Spears ended up capitalizing and hit his ‘C4’ finisher on Holland to secure the win.
