This week’s episode of WWE NXT takes place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando and continues the build toward NXT Stand & Deliver, which is scheduled for April 4, 2026. With less than two weeks until that event, several top contenders are beginning to separate themselves, especially in the main event picture. Tonight’s featured match sees Tony D’Angelo face Ricky Saints for the first time, with both men positioned as challengers to NXT Champion Joe Hendry. The outcome could directly influence the title match heading into Stand & Deliver, with the possibility of a larger multi-man match being teased.

The tag team division is also a major focus, as the ongoing No. 1 Contender’s Tournament continues. A scheduled match featuring Eli Knight and Elio LeFleur against The Culling will determine who moves one step closer to a future title opportunity. In addition, a Gauntlet Eliminator match is set to decide the next challenger for the North American Championship, adding a high-stakes, multi-competitor element to the show. These matches are part of a broader effort to finalize contenders across multiple divisions before the upcoming premium live event.

Outside of the ring, several key storylines are expected to progress. Sol Ruca and Zaria will meet face-to-face following their recent split, which cost both women opportunities in the title scene and intensified their rivalry. Meanwhile, NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne remains at the center of the division, benefiting from the chaos among her challengers. With multiple feuds advancing at once, tonight’s show is designed to push storylines forward while solidifying the card for NXT’s biggest event of the year.
