By Richard Trionfo on 2023-03-21 22:03:00

Your announcers are Booker T and Vic Joseph.

We take a look back at what happened last week between Grayson Waller and Johnny Gargano.

Your hosts for Stand and Deiver, Kit Wilson and Elton Prince, make their way to the ring.

Elton and Kit want everyone to be quiet.  Kit says in their first official act as hosts of Stand and Deliver, they are officially wiping last week's footage from the archives.  You will not see Gallus cheating to beat them.  You won't see Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes jump them from behind and put them through a table.  Elton says the gall, audacity, and gumption of them.  Kit says they want to talk about the outfits for STAND and DELIVER.

Elton mentions what Bron and Carmelo were wearing last week.  They are main event talent, but main event style?

Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams come out and Trick says he told them to watch their mouths.  You interrupted Melo and Bron and that is why they had to order them some table service.

Carmelo says as he was preparing for the biggest match of his career, you had his name in your mouth.

Elton says it wasn't him, it was Kit.

Trick says you are talking to the future NXT Champion.  He tells Elton and Kit to walk the walk.

Elton says there is a breakdown in communication because they speak the King's English.  If you want a match and jeopardize the main event of STAND and DELIVER, they accept.

Trick says it is official.  Pretty Deadly against Carmelo Hayes and his partner . . . BRON BREAKKER.

Hayes is not happy about this and Trick says he has Carmelo's back.

Elton and Kit attack Carmelo and Bron makes his way to the ring and hits back drops on Kit and Elton.  Bron press slams Kit onto Elton on the floor.

Bron holds out his hand to help up Hayes.

Bron says he doesn't want anything to happen to Hayes between now and Stand and Deliver.

Indi Hartwell walks in the back and so does Tiffany Stratton.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Hayes wants to know what happened.  Hayes says they had it without help from Bron.  Hayes wonders why did Trick make this match.  He doesn't want to be in a 'can they co-exist' situation.  Trick says this allows Hayes to see what Bron does in the ring so you can beat him at Stand and Deliver.  Trick says he will make sure they win tonight and you are getting the cheat code for Stand and Deliver.

We take a look at the NXT Women's Title situation.

Roxanne says she will be back, but she does not know when.
