WWE NXT TakeOver Stand and Deliver, has received a co-main event match during WrestleMania 37 Week, as announced by the general manager William Regal. It was announced on the show that Adam Cole vs. Kyle O’Reilly will go down during the Night Two of the show.
This match is being plugged as a “No Rules, No Liability, Unsanctioned Match.” Both the competitors had to agree that NXT will not be responsible for what might happen to them during this match. Per the storyline, O’Reilly is still not medically cleared to compete, as a result of Cole’s attack. So this precaution was needed.
A Title Unification match between NXT Cruiserweight Champion Santos Escobar and NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin has now been converted into a Ladder Match. This week, Escobar and Devlin faced off after Devlin’s non-title win over Kushida.
Then WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels came out to slide down a ladder in between the two champions. NXT later noted on Twitter that a Ladder Match will take place for the Title Unification at WWE NXT TakeOver Stand and Deliver.
