Oba Femi will defend the NXT Title at NXT Stand & Deliver against Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans, as announced by NXT General Manager Ava after tensions escalated between the three. During a confrontation, Evans accused Williams of imitating Carmelo Hayes, leading to Femi stepping in before the match was made official.
Following the announcement, Darkstate — consisting of Cutler James, Dion Lennox, Saquon Shugars, and Osiris Griffin — attacked all three competitors, targeting Williams last. In response, a six-man tag match was set for the April 8 episode of NXT, pitting Femi, Williams, and Evans against three members of Darkstate.
No one is safe.

Andre Chase dice que está solo. Aunque Uriah Connors y Kale Dixon le consiguen una silla de ruedas. A ver si se acuerda de dónde se fue Thea Hail de vacaciones. #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/WAQIE1kPD3
