Tony D’Angelo Captures NXT Title at Stand & Deliver After Four-Way Main Event

The move signals WWE’s bid to give NXT a clearer spotlight.

Overview

  • Tony D’Angelo pinned Joe Hendry to win the NXT Championship in a fatal four-way main event Saturday in St. Louis at The Factory.
  • Stand & Deliver streamed live on YouTube in the U.S. and on Netflix for international viewers as part of WWE’s new distribution setup.
  • A new NXT Women’s Champion was crowned in a triple threat match, reshaping the brand’s women’s title picture.
  • The show ran two weeks before WrestleMania for the first time, with NXT talent saying the standalone date could draw a bigger crowd and focus attention on the brand.
  • In a fatal four-way, four wrestlers compete at once and the champion can lose the title without being pinned, which shaped how this match was booked and decided.
