WWE NXT launched a two-week special event titled NXT Revenge on April 14, 2026, serving as the immediate fallout from the Stand & Deliver event. Broadcast from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, the special was announced by General Manager Robert Stone following the conclusion of Stand & Deliver.
NXT Championship Defenses and Rivalries
The primary focus of the April 14 broadcast centered on the new NXT Champion, Tony D’Angelo. D’Angelo entered the event as the first-ever Grand Slam Champion in NXT history after capturing the title at Stand & Deliver on April 4. During that event, D’Angelo won the championship in a Fatal Four-Way Match that included Ethan Page, Ricky Saints and Joe Hendry.
On April 14, Tony D’Angelo made his first title defense against Ethan Page. The tension between the two had escalated during the previous Tuesday’s episode of NXT, where D’Angelo, Page, Hendry, and Saints were forced to compete together in an eight-man tag team match against DarkState. In that contest, Page tagged himself in to secure the victory for his team by pinning Saquon Shugars with a Twisted Grin.
Women’s Championship Rematch
The NXT Women’s Championship was also contested during the first week of the special. Lola Vice defended her title against former champion and Fatal Influence member Jacy Jayne. This match served as a rematch from Stand & Deliver, where Vice had defeated Jayne and Kendal Grey in a Triple Threat Match to win the title.
The rivalry between Vice and Jayne intensified on the April 7 episode of NXT, during which Jayne and her stablemates, Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley, confronted Vice in a verbal altercation during the closing moments of the show.
Tournament Progress and Additional Matchups
The broadcast featured the continuation of the tournament to crown a new WWE Men’s Speed Champion. In a first-round tournament match, EK Prosper faced Dorian Van Dux. The winner of this encounter is scheduled to face Lexis King in the finals to determine the champion for the vacant title.
the card included a grudge match between Jaida Parker and Kelani Jordan. The two have been embroiled in a conflict for several weeks, including a match on March 31, 2026, in which Parker emerged victorious. The April 14 match was positioned as an effort to resolve the issues between the two competitors.
Entertainment and Scheduling
Beyond the wrestling competition, the event included a musical performance by Joe Hendry. The special is scheduled to air at 8 ET/7 CT on The CW.
NXT Revenge is structured as a two-week television event taking place over the next two weeks of NXT programming from the WWE Performance Center. The special is designed to feature top names and high-stakes clashes as the brand transitions following the Stand & Deliver event.
