Tonight's episode of NXT features the continuation of the journey towards the highly anticipated event, Stand & Deliver. The next two contenders for the NXT Women's Championship ladder match at Stand & Deliver will be confirmed, as Tiffany Stratton takes on Indi Hartwell, and Lyra Valkyria faces Ivy Nile in tonight's qualifying matches. Unfortunately, Wendy Choo, who was initially scheduled to compete against Valkyria, sustained an injury and has been replaced by Nile. ## Zoey Stark and Gigi Dolin have already secured their spots in the ladder match, but the status of current NXT Women's Champion, Roxanne Perez, remains uncertain after she passed out during her match with Meiko Satomura two weeks ago. In the event that Perez is unable to return in time for Stand & Deliver, the ladder match will determine the new champion. ## WWE NXT is broadcasted on USA Network [8 PM ET on Tuesday ] [You can watch WWE NXT live at 5:30 in India on Sony Ten 1/1HD/3/3HD every Wednesday morning]. ## WWE NXT Results March 14, 2023 & Live Coverage ## The show kicks off with Pretty Deadly from a soundstage at the Performance Center in Orlando. Kit Wilson and Elton Prince come to the ring dressed in elegant street clothes. The new hosts of Stand & Deliver have announced their first order of business: erasing last week's episode from the archives. It seems that a segment on that show made them look foolish, and they want to remove any trace of it. ## During the show, Pretty Deadly took shots at several NXT stars, including the NXT Tag Team Champions and the NXT Champion. This led to an interruption by Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes, who confronted the duo in the ring. After some back-and-forth banter, Williams announced a tag match between Hayes and Bron Breakker against Pretty Deadly. However, the duo attacked Hayes and Williams before the match could begin, leaving Hayes vulnerable. ## Luckily, Breakker came to the rescue and fought off Pretty Deadly, ensuring that Hayes was safe. Breakker made it clear that he wanted no excuses from Hayes leading up to Stand & Deliver, and he would not tolerate any interference from their opponents. ## Championship Qualifying Match: Tiffany Stratton Vs Indi Hartwell ## In the qualifying match, Tiffany Stratton emerged victorious by pinning Indi Hartwell to secure her spot in the championship ladder match at Stand & Deliver. To seal the victory, Stratton executed a rolling fireman's carry slam on Hartwell, followed by a Christopher Daniels' Best Moonsault Ever. ## WINNER: Tiffany Stratton via pinfall ## Singles Match: JD McDonagh vs. Ilja Dragunov ## The highly anticipated grudge match between Dragunov and McDonagh exceeded expectations, but unfortunately, there was no conclusive finish. Nonetheless, their intense brawl led to both of them being added to the fatal five-way at Stand & Deliver.## The match started with a brutal slugfest, as expected, but then evolved into a hard-hitting wrestling match. The live studio audience was captivated by the violent spectacle, reveling in the intense action. Despite McDonagh targeting Dragunov's previously injured eye socket, Dragunov fought back and even signaled for his finisher. However, McDonagh countered and attempted to put Dragunov in the same hold that had previously injured him.## In a moment of redemption, Dragunov managed to escape McDonagh's hold and land a leaping forearm. The action spilled outside the ring, with McDonagh and Dragunov exchanging strikes on the floor. Dragon Lee, who was watching the match at ringside, got involved after McDonagh hit him with a cheap shot. Dragon Lee then started trading strikes with both McDonagh and Dragunov. The referee had to call for the bell and threw out the match as Wes Lee suddenly appeared and performed a flip dive on all three men. It seems that this chaos has set up McDonagh and Dragunov to be added to the fatal five-way at Stand & Deliver. ## WINNER: This Match Was No-Contest ## Johnny Gargano challenges Grayson Waller to an unsanctioned match ## Championship Qualifying Match: Lyra Valkyria Vs Ivy Nile## In the final moments of the match, Nile had Valkyria locked in a Dragon Sleeper hold, but Valkyria managed to escape by using the ropes to flip over Nile. With Nile dazed, Valkyria quickly followed up with a devastating German suplex and then delivered a vicious roundhouse kick. Capitalizing on her opponent's weakened state, Valkyria covered Nile for the pinfall victory, securing her place in the championship ladder match at Stand & Deliver. ## WINNER: Lyra Valkyria ## The Great Debate: Schism vs. Chase U ## NXT Champion Bron Breakker & Carmelo Hayes (with Trick Williams) Vs Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilson & Elton Prince) ## The match between Pretty Deadly and Hayes/Breakker kicks off with Pretty Deadly displaying their dominance, as they focus on working over Hayes. However, Hayes shows his resilience and fights back, with Breakker joining in to confront Pretty Deadly. A brawl ensues, and Hayes and Breakker manage to clear the ring, standing tall as the show heads to its final commercial break.## As the show returns, Breakker becomes the target of Pretty Deadly's attacks, after he takes a hard shot during the break. But soon after, Hayes gets the hot tag and unleashes a flurry of moves on Pretty Deadly. There is a cool spot where Hayes sits on the middle rope and executes a suplex, sending Wilson crashing on top of Prince.## Despite the initial momentum, Hayes eventually succumbs to the onslaught by Pretty Deadly, who begin to work him over. However, Hayes manages to make another hot tag to Breakker, who is a powerhouse in the ring. Breakker manhandles Pretty Deadly with an array of suplexes, and then pulls down the strap on his singlet, letting out a fierce roar.## Breakker continues to dominate and executes a flying bulldog off the top rope for a near fall. In a close call, Hayes and Breakker narrowly avoid colliding into each other. Hayes delivers a codebreaker to Wilson, followed by Breakker's spear on Wilson. Breakker tags Hayes, who leaps off the top rope with Nothing But Net, a flying legdrop. Hayes quickly covers Wilson and secures the three-count victory for his team. ## WINNERS: NXT Champion Bron Breakker & Carmelo Hayes (with Trick Williams) via pinfall ## To stay updated with all the latest combat sports news, add Sacnilk.com to your Google News feeds and follow us on Twitter.
