WWE Championship change
Cody Rhodes winning back the WWE Championship over Drew McIntyre in the main event of SmackDown on Friday night.
WWE PLE quality
Through two months and a week, this is the best WWE premium live event of 2026. And while that's positive for NXT, that is problematic for WWE, considering the two that they have run are the Royal Rumble and Elimination Chamber, both of which fell far below expectation.
NXT Stand and Deliver broadcast
NXT Stand and Deliver is going to air on Peacock. That is a little bit surprising.
NXT Championship booking
Clearly, the idea is gonna be running a triple threat for this title at Stand and Deliver, Paige becoming obsessed with regaining his stature on the brand with the NXT title.
Stand and Deliver match card
The move might be Paxley and Monroe at Stand and Deliver for the North American Championship. Pure baby face versus pure heel.
NXT live events
NXT is going to be running the theater at Madison Square Garden the Tuesday after WWE runs Monday Night Raw there on the road to WrestleMania.
Tatum Paxley push
Tatum Paxley is a star in this company and it's high time that everyone understand that and lean into it. Hopefully her winning the North American championship is the start of that.
NXT Women's Championship
We all rightly assumed the triple threat would be set for Stand and Deliver. So running it in two weeks on TV, that is definitely a surprise though.
Charlie Dempsey storyline
Doing a tag team match though is a dead giveaway that Dempsey is going to join Birthright, turning on a baby face in Heinz in order to do so, get the extra heat.
