Myles Borne’s opponent for this year’s NXT Stand & Deliver card will be determined next week.
An eliminator gauntlet will go down on next week’s episode of NXT in Orlando, with the winner becoming the #1 contender for Borne’s NXT North American Championship. The title opportunity will go down at Stand & Deliver, which is set for April 4 in Missouri.
No competitors have been confirmed for the match yet.
Along with the gauntlet, it was confirmed on Tuesday that Ricky Saints will go head-to-head with Tony D’Angelo as part of next week’s show.
Saints has been campaigning for another shot at NXT Champion Joe Hendry, but has run into some opposition from his friend, Ethan Page, who also believes he’s due for a chance at the champ. But trying to overshadow them both is D’Angelo, who attacked the two heel characters on Tuesday night’s episode in Houston.
Following the in-ring exchange between the three, Page suggested that Saints should face D’Angelo one-on-one. While Saints hated the idea, NXT General Manager Robert Stone liked the booking and made it official for next week.
Only two matchups are confirmed for next week thus far. It was teased on the broadcast that Thea Hail might soon have a grudge match against Kelani Jordan, and we also know that NXT is currently also running a four-team tag tournament, but neither has been confirmed for the card just yet.
