Rate: 4.75
2-Triple Threat Match for the NXT Tag Team Titles
Three of the best tag teams in the whole promotion: MSA, The Imperium, and The Creed Brothers stood together in the same ring in a contest for the NXT Tag Team titles.
It was one of the best matches of the night, and the style wandered between the essence of technical wrestling and the magic of high flying and acrobatic style.
MSK deserved this win after the impressive runs they did until now in the promotion.
Rate: 3.5/5
3-NXT Women's Title
The worst match in the whole show, and there were several mistakes in the entrances, especially for Cora Jade one. The four stars didn't deliver what was expected of them, in addition, the result of the match was not satisfying as Mandy Rose defeated Cora Jade, Io Shirai, and Kay Lee Ray by pinfall, and retained her title.
Rate: 2/5
4-NXT Title
There is no doubt that Dolph Ziggler is doing an outstanding job at the NXT 2.0 pision despite being part of the WWE's main roaster.
The contest between him and Bron Breaker was somehow disappointing and lower than what was expected from their feud that took place between Monday Night Raw, and NXT 2.0.
In the end, Ziggler succeeded to retain his title, despite being expected that Breaker would get his title back.
B- Single Contests
Tomas Ciampa vs Tony D'Angelo
This match was strong and full of power and tributes by Ciampa to the HBK Shawn Michaels and the Game Triple H who announced his in-ring competition retirement a few days ago.
Ciampa hinted that his run at the NXT 2.0 show will be concluded at Stand & Deliver.
The most unforgettable scene at that match was Tripe H's appearance at the show, greeting and supporting Ciampa after losing the match.
The appearance of the Game satisfied a lot of fans around the world due to the timing of his on-screen appearance.
Rate: 3.5/5
LA Knight vs Gunther
It was also one of the well-written matches, and the fight between LA Knight, and Gunther was highly anticipated by the fans.
The style of the match was super classic, technical, catch game match which satisfied real and classic pro wrestling fans.
The victory of Gunther was necessary to improve the actions more.
Rate: 4/5
