Booker T Appreciation Night: WWE NXT 3/17/26 Review | upNXT
WrestleMania 42 plans
It will be Brock versus Oba at WrestleMania. I'm not particularly thrilled about Brock Lesnar being back, but if he is back, this is the kind of stuff I want to see him do.
I think Oba should crush him, hit a few of these power bombs. It's going to be the Brock Goldberg WrestleMania match. Hopefully not the Brock Goldberg WrestleMania 20 match.
NXT Stand and Deliver
I'll sell you the show right now: they announced Sexy Red is going to be at Stand and Deliver. Per chance she performs or gets involved, so just think of myself and John Pollock discussing Sexy Red.
CM Punk vs. Roman Reigns
I found it interesting that for me it felt like that crowd was way more Roman than Punk. It felt like Punk was really working for the chants and there were times he was pausing, waiting for a CM Punk chant to happen.
NXT Championship picture
I think the four-way is the right direction and saying it now, just go with Tony D'Angelo at this point. I don't think you need to go with Ricky or Ethan. In fact, I think post-Stand and Deliver both Ethan and Ricky should go up to the main roster.
NXT Women's Championship
It sounded almost confirmed that whoever wins the triple threat on this show will be facing Kendall [Gray]. It pretty much sounded like she is challenging Jacey Jane at Stand and Deliver.
Randy Orton storyline
Randy reminding us that there is more than one royal family in pro wrestling. I'm going to say it's his dad, it's my safe bet—Cowboy Bob with a cast on.
Robert Stone GM role
Regal says, 'I think you're doing a great job dealing with all the chaos and you dress well. I'm going to talk to Shawn Michaels and make this permanent.' So it seems like we might lose that interim title from Mr. Stone.
WWE creative direction
I do enjoy when we get to WrestleMania season and you have these feuds which feel a bit more personal and bleed a bit more reality into it that we get those spiky moments.
