During WrestleMania 42 weekend, WWE Stand & Deliver 2026 will take place on the Saturday before Night One of “The Show of Shows.”
With the reputation of stealing the entire weekend, Stand & Deliver always seems to deliver an exciting card that usually stands up to the major events of the Mania weekend.
Considering the ongoing storylines and feuds on the brand, WWE NXT could deliver another stacked lineup filled with key title clashes and grudges being settled from top to bottom.
Here are seven potential matches at WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 on WrestleMania 42 weekend.
NXT Women’s Championship: Sol Ruca (c) vs. ZARIA
The NXT women’s division has been centered around the story of ZaRuca going from the best of friends to a damaged relationship filled with jealousy and envy.
After feeling neglected and taken advantage of, ZARIA seemingly ended her friendship with Ruca following her win in a tag team match to become number one contender for the NXT Women’s Championship.
However, ZARIA chose to once again have Sol’s back against Fatal Influence on the February 17 edition of WWE NXT ahead of Ruca’s showdown with Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship.
With Sol seemingly having Jacy’s number, fans could finally see Ruca win the NXT Women’s Championship and go on to face ZARIA in a highly anticipated battle at the WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2026.

NXT Women’s North American Championship Last Woman Standing: Izzi Dame (c) vs. Tatum Paxley
Back at the WWE NXT Gold Rush 2025 event, Izzi Dame betrayed Tatum Paxley, costing her the NXT Women’s Championship against Jacy Jayne.
This led to the two women meeting in a singles bout where Dame beat Paxley in a grudge match at WWE Deadline 2025.
However, Paxley got a measure of revenge with a win over her former friend on the January 6 New Year’s Evil special of WWE NXT. Later in the show, Dame went on to capture the NXT Women’s North American Championship.
After recent weeks seeing Paxley going after her former friend and their scheduled title contest at Vengeance Day 2026, Tatum could once again challenge Izzi for the gold in a feud-ending Last Woman Standing Match at Stand & Deliver 2026.

The NXT tag team division has definitely heated up and intensified in a significant manner.
On the February 17 episode of WWE NXT, The Vanity Project defeated The Culling, Hank and Tank and OTM to become the number one contenders for the NXT Tag Team Championships.
With this bout scheduled to take place on the February 24 episode, fans could see Swipe Right capture tag team gold for the first time in WWE.
This could lead to a massive TLC Match on the NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 featuring The Vanity Project defending against a combination of teams like Dark State, OTM, Hank & Tank and The Culling in a major bout on the card.

WWE Evolve Men’s Championship: Jackson Drake (c) vs. Sean Legacy
Since winning the WWE Evolve Men’s Championship in May 2025, Jackson Drake has done a very good job in establishing the top prize on the brand.
Now on the NXT brand, Drake is gaining more exposure than ever before his career and elevating his character in the process.
The challenger who has been chasing Drake for his gold ever since he became the champion has been Sean Legacy.
Wanting to remove Legacy from Evolve and NXT once and for all, Drake could defend the WWE Evolve Men’s Championship for the first time on the Stand & Deliver 2026 stage in Las Vegas.

WWE Evolve Women’s Championship: Kendal Grey (c) vs. Jacy Jayne
At the first Evolve Succession show, Kendal Grey defeated Kali Armstrong to become the new WWE Evolve Women’s Champion.
This led to Grey taking not only Evolve by storm, but also on the NXT brand in a significant manner.
Becoming the Women’s Iron Survivor winner at WWE NXT Deadline 2025, Grey challenged Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women’s Championship at New Year’s Evil, coming up short in her first opportunity for the gold.
If Jayne loses her NXT Women’s Championship to Sol Ruca on the February 24 edition of WWE NXT, the Fatal Influence leader could potentially look at Grey’s title as something she desires to hold to go along with all her other milestones.

NXT North American Championship: Ethan Page (c) vs. Myles Borne vs. Shiloh Hill vs. Keanu Carver
Ethan Page recently set the record for most title defenses in a single NXT North American Championship reign with a win over Shiloh Hill on the February 17 episode.
Post match, Page and The Vanity Project jumped Hill until Myles Borne made the save and wrapped a chair around Ethan’s ankle before goading him into a NXT North American Championship match for the February 24 episode of NXT.
While Borne could win the strap on thai episode, it might be better for Page to hold onto the title until WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 where he could defend against a group of challengers.
“All Ego” defending the gold against Borne, Hill and Keanu Carver could be a dynamic four-way match that steals the show at WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 and crowns a new champion in the process.

NXT Championship: Joe Hendry (c) vs. Ricky Saints vs. Tony D’Angelo
On the February 3 edition of WWE NXT, Joe Hendry defeated Ricky Saints, Keanu Carver, Shiloh Hill, Jackson Drake, Dion Lennox and Sean Legacy in a Ladder Match to win the NXT Championship.
Feeling robbed from this result, Saints attacked Hendry, leading to a NXT Championship match being made between the two for the Vengeance Day 2026 event.
While these two competitors could continue their feud into Stand & Deliver 2026, it feels like another individual has been gunning for the top prize on the NXT brand even longer.
Tony D’Angelo inserting himself into this Hendry vs. Saints feud could set up a thrilling triple threat for WWE NXT Stand & Deliver that will determine who will be the face of the brand post WrestleMania 42 weekend.
