It’s been a long and winding road to get to this point, but @JordynneGrace plans on making it all worth it at #StandAndDeliver! 🙌#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/7DeZd0Y2LO
Jordynne Grace says what you see today, a multiple time TNA champion isn’t how she started. She says she wasn’t scouted or had star power. She wasn’t a beauty queen. She says she had negative aura. She tried to fit in a world that didn’t seem built for her. She says she had self awareness. She stopped wishing she had what she was supposed to have and she built what she could become. She turned doubt into discipline and that was the day the Juggernaut was born. She became laser focused into turning her body into an atomic bomb. As hard as that was, she was obsessed with it. She could stand out and that was the only way. She wanted everyone to talk about what she was doing in TNA. She says she put in the work so no one would forget about her. She made everyone believe in her. She has the chance to become NXT Women’s Champion and she is aware of what she needs to do to win her first women’s championship.

Video: Giulia
We go to comments from Giulia.
She says she watched Stephanie bask in the glory of being a double champion. She waited for her to give her a rematch but it never happened. Friendships only go so far when it comes to the Women’s Championship. She reminded Stephanie of what Beautiful Madness is. She does not know Jaida but she appears confident. She likes to dish out punishment but she doesn’t like to take it. Jordynne is very strong but she will introduce her to strong style. Jordynne and Jaida are obstacles in her way to Stephanie. She says her goal was to win the NXT Women’s Championship. Losing it only made her more dangerous. No friends at Stand and Deliver. She introduced herself at last year’s Stand and Deliver. She leaves this year as the Women’s Champion.

We are back with Jaida Parker’s video.
She says when you see her, you made her mind up. She says she does not care. She says because you look the part, it is easy. Just because it is easy, doesn’t mean it is heavy. She made her name in these streets. She says she is the only home grown talent. The whole world is intimidated by her. If she can stand with the boys, she is pressure. Growing up, if you didn’t apply it, it was applied to you. She says her dad was a coach and didn’t let her play football, so she played soccer. She says people made assumptions about her. She knows how vicious it can be in the locker room and women try to break you down. None of them want her to succeed before she does. She says her uncle is her best friend. She says when she lost him, she lost early on that she couldn’t trust anyone. People assume she has an attitude. She is this way when you don’t fit everyone’s agenda. She does not need no friends in the locker room. She needs the big game situation and no one can break her. She will show that she don’t play and she is taking the NXT Women’s Championship with her.

In-Ring: Trick Williams, Oba Femi, Je’Von Evans
That’s The Young OG! 🫡 @WWEJeVonEvans just DROPPED both @Obaofwwe and @_trickwilliams! 😱#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/TQBzHTwQSe
— WWE (@WWE) April 16, 2025
We are back and Trick Williams makes his way to the ring with the Booker T remix.
Trick does the sound effect version of his entrance music.
Trick says he has been doing a lot of thinking about who he is. He says Je’Von came out and said that he is Carmelo Hayes. Trick says he gets it now. You either die the hero or live long enough to become the villain. Trick says he is still alive. Heavy is the head that wears the crown. Oba, your head may be heavy but he is coming to get his crown on Saturday. He tells Je’Von better luck next year.
Oba Femi makes his way to the ring and he already has a mic.
Oba says Trick talks like he is the man around here. You are not the man. You are a broken record playing the same hits over and over and over. Nobody is singing along because you are the only one still whooping that trick. Oba tells Trick the spotlight is moving on but get ready to move. You get one last chance at Stand and Deliver. When he is done with Trick, he moves on.
Trick says they still chant Whoop that Trick around the world, and the crowd proves that they will do whatever someone suggests. He says it takes more than a few Black Panther chants to be on top. He will help Oba out by taking his title.
Je’Von Evans’ music plays and he comes out. Evans tells Trick to please shut his ass up. He says he could be tricking, but he was right about Trick. You come out week after week after week after week, talking about a match that you deserve. Evans says we are tired of that. If you are going to talk, talk about something else. You know how he feels about Trick so you are dismissed. It is time to talk about Oba. Evans says he won’t lie. Real recognizes real. You have been glued to a championship since you got to NXT. Everyone knows who you are. The two times he dropped Oba, he was hyped about it because he dropped the champion.
How many times are we going to hear Oba Femi will main event Wrestlemania. It isn’t if, it is when you get drafted. Evans says Oba is from the University of Alabama and Oba throws out a ‘Roll Tide’. Evans says Oba walks around here like all of this revolves around you. Evans says this kid from North Carolina wasn’t supposed to make it to WWE, but he did. Do you think you are the favorite on Saturday? He says that is how he likes it.
Oba says this is what 20 looks like. You have had a phenomenal rookie year. You are the future of this place, but Oba says he is the present. This place does revolve around him because he has the title. He is the man and the top dog. He says Evans cannot handle this because he is a child.
Trick says when you are done hugging and giving out compliments, let’s talk about him winning the title back.
Evans says neither of you can touch him in the ring and he will wrestle circles around both of you.
Evans is tossed over the top rope to the floor by Oba and Trick.
Trick and Oba exchange punches and then they throw Evans back over the top rope. Evans with a springboard double cutter.
