LAS VEGAS – Oba Femi and Stephanie Vaquer walked into NXT Stand & Deliver at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas Saturday as champions and exited the arena with their belts still strapped around their waists.
In high-octane, multi-person matches, Femi and Vaquer remained dominant.
Femi defeated Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans in a triple-threat match. Femi somehow managed to power through Evans’ high-flying style and survive multiple cutters and splashes. The champion showed his strength and managed to throw Evans through the barricade at one point in the match.
With the bout about to end, Evans nailed Femi with a corkscrew splash from the top rope. Williams entered the ring and got Evans with a trick shot. Femi slammed Williams onto Evans. As Williams rolled out of the ring, Femi used the pop-up powerbomb to finish off Evans and get the three count to retain the title.
Vaquer needed to dig a little deeper and fend off three dangerous women in the ring — Giulia, Jordynne Grace and Jaida Parker — each capable of taking the title away from the Chilean superstar.
The match started with Vaquer and Giulia working together to take care of their opponents in the ring. Then, they went after each other. Giulia nailed Vaquer with several headbutts at one point to take advantage.
Stand & Deliver is the marquee event of the year for NXT, and fans could see wrestlers hit the main roster at one point in their careers. For some, it will be sooner than later.
