Great WWE NXT match “Takeover: Stand and Deliver” revealed, ladder match stipulation added

by

WWE NXT general manager William Regal announced a main co-event for the Second Night of the “Takeover: Stand and Deliver” event during WrestleMania 37 Week.

It was announced on tonight’s show that Adam Cole vs. Kyle O’Reilly will take place during the Second Night. This is classified as “No rules, no responsibility, unsanctioned game” with the plot being that both competitors had to agree that NXT will not be responsible for what could happen to them. This was a requirement, since O’Reilly still had no medical authorization to compete in the stories.

In another big news for Takeover, the title unification fight between NXT Cruiserweight champion Santos Escobar and NXT Cruiserweight champion Jordan Devlin will now be a Ladder Match.

Tonight’s NXT show saw Escobar and Devlin face off in the middle of the ring after Devlin’s untitled victory over Kushida. The WWE Hall of Fame Shawn Michaels then left and slid a ladder between the two champions. NXT later mentioned on Twitter that the challenge was accepted, making it a Ladder Match for the title to be unified.

WWE also confirmed new matches for Night One and Night Two of Takeover. The NXT UK title fight between Tommaso Ciampa and champion WALTER will take place during the First Night. The Ladder Match will take place during the Second Night.

The NXT “Takeover: Stand and Deliver” event will take place on Wednesday, April 7 and Thursday, April 8. Night One airs on the USA Network while Night Two airs on Peacock and the WWE Network.
