(TGBH) Howdy mafackas, and welcome to another blog World order predictions blog. We are less than a month away from WrestleMania and i gotta tell yall that it just doesnt feel the same. What happened to the game that I love? Thankfully there is an array of wrestling content to hold us over and that includes this week’s NXT Stand and Deliver. Yeah this coulda been great for WrestleMania weekend, but at least this way it’s gets the shine it deserves.
(PCM) I miss when the NXT shows used to be the night before PLE’s, and a lot of times would be better than those shows. It would have been nice to have this Wrestlemania weekend, but maybe it is best to have NXT do its own thing. Anyway, it is a solid card.
(DSS) Finally, NXT gets its own weekend for their PLE! The NXT shows are always fantastic, and even when I don’t always keep up week by week, their premium events are always must watch. This year we’re getting a hell of a card and I’m excited to squeeze it into my weekend.
(TGBH) So when I move, you move, just like that. Hey DJ, let em know what it is. Let’s get to it yall!
PreGame w/bWo:
NXT Stand and Deliver 2026
Sol Ruca vs. Zaria
(DSS) Sol Ruca and Zaria should be the main event. These two have the best storyline going into the event, and it’s been building for a long while, across appearances in both NXT and the main roster shows. They were even arguing on the streets in New York, so that means this feud is really real. I can’t really say Zaria is wrong for wanting to shine and for feeling like Sol Ruca wasn’t giving anything back to her. At the same time…Sol Ruca could never be wrong. This match is going to be brutal and emotional. I’ve made this sort of prediction multiple times, and I’m never right, but…Zaria needs to go over on Sol Ruca so Sol can go up to the main roster.
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Zaria via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Zaria via Knockout
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Sol Ruca via Pinfall
NXT Women’s North American Championship Match
Tatum Paxley(c) vs. Blake Monroe
(TGBH) When do you ever hear about the women of NXT NOT cooking? These two chefs have certainly complemented each other well like queso fresco and pinto beans and should work together more often. Paxley is now only the second woman to hold both the NXT Women’s Championship and the NXT Women’s North American Championship. Whilst it would be an easy choice to pick Tatum to retain, something tells me Black Monroe’s time in NXT isn’t over. Paxley aint going anywhere either, but Paxley is one of those talents that thrives when she's hunting for gold. Not to say she isnt great champ, she just does better work chasing the title. Monroe should never not be carrying gold and now’s the time to fix that.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Blake Monroe via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Tatum Paxley via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Blake Monroe via Pinfall
NXT North American Championship Match
Myles Bourne(c) vs. Johnny Gargano
(TGBH) I’ve been saying it, and it’s true by the way, that it is not a bad thing to be on NXT. It’s not a demotion if we’re being honest. Since NXT dominated RAW and SmackDown at Survivor Series, you can make the case that NXT has been the third brand. The only developmental part of it is you learn where all the cameras are. Johnny Gargano is an NXT legend who has also held gold on the main roster. Gargano joining NXT adds much needed star power with superstars moving on to other brands. Evan’s cousin Myles looks good with the belt, but it looks better on Johnny Wrestling. If Johnny is back on NXT full time, let him run the North American division and whip some of these young cats into fighting shape.
(PCM) You can make the case for Gargano for being the greatest wrestler from NXT ever. Also, the idea of people going to NXT to get some ring time is great. Keeping them visible will work out well in the long run. There is a rumor of him and Candace making a group with MCMG soon, so I don’t see this as a long-term run. I think this will be a passing of the torch match. And if Myles can hang, look at him moving up the card.
(DSS) If anyone deserves a spotlight then it’s my boy Johnny Wrestling. He’s one of my favorite superstars and he hasn’t been used well on the main roster, and I don’t have a single problem with him taking another NXT run. He’s exactly what the men’s division is missing. Gargano is incredible in the ring, and he could give the current roster a breath of fresh air. Give him the belt and let him cook. It could only make the entire cast of NXT better by putting Johnny in their ring.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Johnny Gargano via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Myles Bourne via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Johnny Gargano via Pinfall
NXT Women’s Championship Match
Jacy Jayne(c) vs. Lola Vice vs. Kendal Grey
(PCM) This could go many ways. Is Jacy getting called up? What does this mean to her stablemates if she is? Lola has been just short of being the top dog during this time. Kendal has come out of nowhere since her short time in Evolve. I do think we see a title change here. I think it is time for Lola to get the strap. I think as strong as the women’s division is, the top of it is its weakness. Let Lola get her chance.
(DSS) Kendal Fucking Grey. What an incredible talent that has skyrocketed. Throw the strap on her, because Grey Graps stocks are on the rise. Lola has had her chances. Jacy has had multiple runs now. If we’re ever going to shoot someone to the top then it has to be Kendal and it has to be now. Everyone and their mothers know that Kendal Grey is the future, and the future starts at Stand and Deliver.
(TGBH) You can make the case that all three of these women deserve the call-up, because The Great Brown Hope believes they certainly do. All three of these women have done so much with what has been given to them, given the circumstances. Jacy Jayne has been a shining star since she went solo and has done the work to make her stable look just as good. Kendal Grey is a truly special talent and can rise above the ranks and have a career similar to Alexa Bliss’, quote me on that mafakas. Lola Vice, someone I wasn’t a fan of before but won me over, has had a spectAAAcular run as of late with helping build WWEAAA. Lola Vice owns Underground victories over Natalya and Shayna Baszler, two of the baddest to ever do it. I would even go as far as saying call all three of these talented women up asap, but someone has to win here. If Jayne really is coming to the main roster post mania, give it to Lola Vice, she’s ready to run the NXT Women’s Division.
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Lola Vice via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Kendal Grey via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Lola Vice via Knockout
NXT Tag Team Championship Match
The Vanity Project(c) vs. Los Americanos
(PCM) Honestly, the match I am least looking forward to. Nothing against the gentlemen in it, but there is nothing really here.Outside of EGA, there is not much on that side that excites me. Let us have Duinne and Bate back. And with The Vanity Project, why all the hoopla just to have them drop the strapsso soon? Let the champs retain.
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
The Vanity Project via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
The Vanity Project via Pinfall
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Los Americanos via Pinfall
NXT Championship Match
Joe Hendry(c) vs. Ricky Saints vs. Ethan Page vs. Tony D’Angelo
(TGBH) Here we’ve got three superstars with memorable NXT Championship reigns….and Tony D’Angelo. The top spot doesn’t look bad on paper considering the contenders in this match….and Tony D’Angelo. It’s great to get everyone, and Tony, on the card for the cap of this NXT season as this would have been more fun with elimination rules. Ethan Page is main roster bound, he’s done a hell of a job on NXT and AAA and has done so in the most respectful fashion. I for one am proud to claim Ethan Page as one of our own. Saints might stay on NXT, so if Hendry wins we’ll prob get Saints vs Hendry after this one.
(PCM) Gonna go out on a limb here. Page is moving up, no doubt. Ricky is moving up, if not after WM, sometime soon. I love Hendry, but the title reign has not been the best. The top of NXT has been very weak for a while. We need a shot in the arm to set a spark. Gimme D’Angelo.
(DSS) Three of these guys should already be on the main roster, and the fourth guy should walk out as the NXT Champion. Ricky Saints and Ethan Page have been a fun duo, whether they have been friends or foes. Joe Hendry was tailor-made to be a SmackDown superstar, and I was surprised he went to NXT when he finally signed. Tony D’Angelo has been around the block in NXT…a few times. Let’s finally give him the big belt and let him do his thing.
The Great Brown Hope’s Pick:
Joe Hendry via Pinfall
PaperClip Mike’s Pick:
Tony D’Angelo via Pinfall
Darkstar Shady’s Pick:
Tony D’Angelo via Pinfall
