The road to Stand & Deliver just hit its final turn. From ladder match qualifiers to last minute vignettes, NXT made its final moments count—let’s get into it.
Jordynne Grace’s voice hits before we even see her—low, confident, grounded. It’s a highlight reel of her entire journey. She says she had a “negative aura” when she first started and was trying to find her place in a world that didn’t fit her. But then she found strength—literally. She became obsessed with building her body like an A-bomb and refused to be overlooked. The goal? Make the WWE Universe say, “WWE women are killing it, but have you seen Jordynne Grace in TNA?” She forced her way into the conversation and now she’s staring down her biggest opportunity yet at Stand & Deliver. No fluff, no doubts—just Jordynne knowing exactly what she has to do.
Meanwhile, Sol Ruca and Zaria were hyped about the Women’s North American Title match—until Kelani Jordan cut in to remind everyone she’s got that “nobody does it like Lani” energy. Izzi Dame wasn’t impressed. She misses the old Kelani, and in classic Culling fashion, made it clear she’s not interested in nostalgia—just more gold.
That brings us to our final NA ladder match qualifier of the night:
Tatum Paxley vs. Lola Vice
They locked up and rolled through reversals early, Tatum pulling out slick pins and Lola snatching a crossface out of nowhere. They kept countering holds until Lola caught a shot to the gut, hit a takedown, and started planting Paxley with confidence.
The match really turned when Tatum crawled under the ring (because of course she did), lured Lola in, and slammed her shoulder-first into the steel frame. Gigi Dolin got involved, barking at Lola, and chaos simmered as we cut to break.
Back from commercial, Tatum went on a roll—corner splashes, a neckbreaker, and a sunset flip for two. But Lola fired back with kicks to the spine, a hip attack, and dragged Paxley out of the corner for a nearfall.
Tatum climbed up for a superplex that landed flush, but Lola stayed alive. Tatum tried to springboard in, and that’s when Lola cracked her with a spinning backfist that sent shockwaves. Game over. Lola Vice is going to Stand & Deliver.
Winner: Lola Vice
Giulia, watching from the shadows as always, got the spotlight next. She recalled seeing Stephanie Vaquer with double gold and never getting her rematch. No matter—Giulia says friendship ends where the Women’s Title begins. She reminded Vaquer what Beautiful Madness is last week, and she plans on making Jordynne feel Strong Style up close. Jaida’s strong, Jordynne’s obsessed, but Giulia? She’s more dangerous now than she’s ever been. Last year she made her debut at Stand & Deliver. This year, she’s leaving with the title.
Backstage, chaos continued. Gigi and Tatum—fresh off their match—wanted another opportunity. Ava granted it: a triple threat women’s tag next week, with the winners earning a Tag Title shot. Roxanne barged in, furious she wasn’t booked, and Ava threw shade about her loss on SmackDown. Roxanne, in desperation mode, said she’d enter the match solo. Ava wasn’t having it. But then Cora Jade returned and offered a lifeline: does the match matter enough for Roxanne to say she’s sorry?
Then came Jaida Parker’s vignette—and it was a mic drop. She talked about assumptions people make about her, how she came up in Port St. Lucie making a name for herself, and how the locker room never wanted her to succeed. Her uncle, her rock, passed away—and since then, she’s trusted no one. Life made her hard. She doesn’t need friends. She needs defining moments. And Stand & Deliver? That’s her moment.
Over in Chile, Stephanie Vaquer spoke about how proud she is to represent her country on the biggest stage of her NXT career. She shared that her dad never got to see her wrestle, so she brought home replica titles just for him. It was a rare soft moment from someone who’s usually sharp steel—but make no mistake, she’s entering Stand & Deliver with fire in her chest and national pride in her fists.
Thea Hail returned backstage and reminded Andre Chase that she’s not mad. He didn’t ruin her life. She’s no longer part of Chase U, but she’s not done. And she proved it immediately by qualifying for the NA ladder match.
Thea Hail vs. Karmen Petrovic
Karmen Petrovic tried to shut her down early, landing some stiff shots and a big spinning lariat. But Thea caught a kick, headbutted her way out, and went wild with clotheslines, a neckbreaker, and a press slam. The crowd was with her. The Coffin Drop hit, but she wasn’t done. She locked in a tight double underhook into a Kimura Lock—and Karmen tapped.
Winner: Thea Hail
Thea’s back. And Stand & Deliver just got even more unpredictable. Sound off in the comments below with your thoughts on the go home show!
