Big Grudge Match Made Official For NXT Stand & Deliver

The match is on.

Sports Illustrated reports that Trick Williams will finally get his hands on Carmelo Hayes at the April 6th NXT Stand & Deliver premium live event. WWE later confirmed the report and released the following press release hyping the bout.

Trick Williams and Carmelo Hayes will go head-to-head when the former friends collide at NXT Stand & Deliver inside the Wells Fargo Center.

As a team, Trick Melo Gang dominated NXT with Hayes capturing the North American Championship twice and the NXT Championship once, solidifying themselves as the most dominant duo in the locker room.

As Hayes’ star shined bright, Williams started to become a star on his own, causing some jealousy in his partner and culminating in a mysterious beatdown after Williams became the 2023 Iron Survivor.

Williams lost his eventual NXT Title Match against the Superstar that dethroned Hayes, Ilja Dragunov, at Vengeance Day, and a post-match attack from Hayes destroyed their friendship for good.

Don’t miss this epic encounter between former friends at NXT Stand & Deliver on Saturday, April 6, streaming live at noon ET/9 a.m. PT on Peacock in the United States and on WWE Network everywhere else.
