Loading …WWE NXT 2.0 #29
Ort: WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, USA
First broadcast: March 29, 2022
NXT 2.0 starts and as usual Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett greet us from the Performance Center. The first to enter the hall are Imperium, but they are unable to complete their entry as planned as they are attacked by LA Knight and MSK on the way. A brawl erupts between the six men, ending in the ring where the first match can begin.
1. Match
6-Man Tag Team Match
Imperium (Gunther & NXT Tag Team Champions Fabian Aichner & Marcel Barthel) defeated LA Knight & MSK (Wes Lee & Nash Carter) via a pin by Fabian Aichner on Nash Carter after a lariat.
Match time: 12:23
– Gunther and LA Knight fought their way through the crowd towards the backstage area before the finish.
Imperium celebrate their victory with the title belts on stage, where suddenly the Creed Brothers (Julius & Brutus Creed) appear behind them. The three teams engage in one final staredown before Stand and Deliver.
Here’s a throwback to the moment Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray won the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. We are also reminded that they forfeited their chance at the NXT Women’s Tag Team Championship and were instead added to the Women’s Championship match at Stand and Deliver.
In a clip, we see Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley cleaning up the Diamond Mine Dojo after last week’s devastation. Nile also reminds her friend that she has to spank, not kiss, to join Diamond Mine.
As Tiffany Stratton makes her way to the ring, we are shown attacking and taking out Sarray two weeks ago.
2. Match
Singles Match
Ivy Nile defeated Tiffany Stratton via submission in the Cravate Dragon Sleeper.
Match time: 3:28
– Before the finish, the hall filled with smoke before suddenly Sarray appeared on the apron. She argued with Stratton, which made things easy for Nile.
Tommaso Ciampa is backstage again and speaks to the camera. He mentions how the fans have been by his side throughout, in good times and bad. Together they would have made NXT what it is. In “Stand and Deliver” they will create something magical one last time. Finally, as usual, he wants to throw the chair he was sitting on across the room, but stops and leans it against the wall, which makes it clear that on this “9/9/2015 – 4/2/2022” ( the day of his NXT debut and the date for “Stand and Deliver”) is written.
Below is a video pack showcasing new NXT Champion Dolph Ziggler. He talks about his career and his journey to the NXT Championship. This victory should open the second half of his career and he will hold on to this gold on “Stand and Deliver”.
In a clip, Cora Jade talks about her dream of becoming an NXT Women’s Champion. Although she is the underdog in “Stand and Deliver”, she wants to give everything and conquer her opponents.
3. Match
Tag Team Match
Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen (w/ Fallon Henley) defeated Legado del Fantasma (Raul Mendoza & Joaquin Wilde, w/ Elektra Lopez) via a pin by Brooks Jensen on Joaquin Wilde after a chop block / lariat combination.
Match time: 5:37
– Elektra Lopez tried to intervene in favor of the Legado. She was attacked by Henley, which distracted Wilde decisively.
Indi Hartwell and Persia Pirotta discuss in the locker room whether InDex or DuSia is the hotter couple. They agree that the WWE Universe in Dallas can decide that.
McKenzie Mitchell asks Cameron Grimes how he sees his chances in today’s Last Chance Triple Threat Match. He knows Roderick Strong and A-Kid have great skills, but they wouldn’t need the win as much as he does. This is his last chance to make his dad proud.
Toxic Attraction (NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose & NXT Women’s Tag Team Champions Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne) celebrate their way to the ring. Once there, Mandy Rose takes the floor and talks about the short-term change in the title match on “Stand and Deliver”. So Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray would have misunderstood her words that she would beat every queen on the roster because she didn’t mean that she wanted to do it at the same time. But she is not afraid and will emerge victorious from the match, after all, Toxic Attraction is the most dominant team in NXT history and they plan to be at the top for a long time. Today, however, they want to devote themselves to Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai, because they failed to eliminate Shirai and Ray. Gigi Dolin opens her bag to reveal various pieces of Choo jewelry. They admit to knocking out Wendy Choo, leaving Dakota Kai without a partner to challenge the reigning Tag Team Champions. You will enter and exit Stand and Deliver with all the gold. Now Dakota Kai sprints to the ring, who is furious that her new friend was attacked and takes on Toxic Attraction alone. As you might expect, this is a bad idea and Kai ends up getting the worst of it, finding herself on the ground. Suddenly the music of Raquel González sounds, who celebrates her premature comeback and goes to the ring. She stands up to Toxic Attraction and together with Kai they can put the champions to flight. Under deafening “Yes” chants, the two look at each other intensely before there is an embrace and the former friends are probably reunited. Suddenly Kai sees something in the corner of the ring that Toxic Attraction forgot. She grabs one of the NXT Women’s Tag Team title belts and, along with González, lifts it in the air, to the dismay of Toxic Attraction.
NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams stand by McKenzie Mitchell. Hayes commands respect for making the qualifiers possible so far and for tonight’s Last Chance Triple Threat Match. Of course he will also accompany this on the commentary desk. Grayson Waller and Sanga enter the picture and Waller mentions that he will be there as well. He also wants to do everything possible to go home as champion on Saturday. They discuss a little more before Waller lets Hayes know that he clearly has the bigger one. He’s referring to his buddy Sanga, who towers over Williams’ trick, but both Williams and Hayes are disgusted by the comment.
The “Japanese commentary team” Jacket Time (Kushida & Ikemen Jiro) join Joseph and Barrett at a neighboring table.
4. Match
Singles Match
Von Wagner (w/ Robert Stone) defeated Bodhi Hayward (w/ Andre Chase) via pin from a Death Valley driver.
Match time: 3:41
– Ikemen Jiro’s focus quickly shifted from the action in the ring towards Sofia Cromwell, who stopped just outside the ring barrier and watched the match.
After the match, Von Wagner gives Jacket Time and throws Kushida aside. In the ring, Jiro also takes the Death Valley Driver before Wagner rips his beautiful fruit-printed jacket. Cromwell seemed thoroughly impressed by Wagner’s performance.
Tony D’Angelo dines at a street restaurant. He speaks a warning towards Chumpa aka. Tommaso Ciampa and explains that we have a new Don in NXT in Tony D.
Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett remind us that Triple H has retired. A number of former NXT Superstars responded to this via Twitter, which we are also shown.

They also talk about the induction of the Steiner Brothers into the Hall of Fame and mention for the first time that Rick Steiner is Bron Breakker’s father. Following is another video pack of the Dolph Ziggler vs. Bron Breakker feud.
It’s official: during the “Stand and Deliver” kickoff show, Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne) will have to defend their NXT Women’s Championship against Dakota Kai & Raquel González! The commentators then present us with the entire match card for Stand and Deliver.
6. Match
Singles Match
Nikkita Lyons defeated Sloane Jacobs via pin after a split-legged leg drop.
Match time: 1:47
Lash Legend then appears on screen, unimpressed by Lyon’s performance. She issues a challenge to Lyons because she is more talented than the lion lady and will prove it after “Stand and Deliver”.
Malcolm Bivens is at the front, behind him are the Creed brothers, Ivy Nile and Roderick Strong. He promises Strong will win today’s qualifier, Saturday’s ladder match and secure the North American Championship. Additionally, Julius and Brutus will be crowned the new Tag Team Champions. He will ensure that the Diamond Mine is adorned with gold. Bivens, Nile, and Strong leave the frame for the ring, leaving Julius and Brutus behind. Brutus gets a text message from an unknown number with area code 781 wishing them luck, they’ll be under surveillance on Saturday. The two are sure that this message came from their attackers. Time for today’s Main Event!
7. Match
NXT North American Title Ladder Match Qualifier – Last Chance Triple Threat Match
Cameron Grimes defeated Roderick Strong and A-Kid via a pin on Roderick Strong after the cave-in.
Match time: 10:55
– Solo Sikoa appeared on the ramp to get a good look at the potential competition. Legado’s director Santos Escobar was also spotted, watching what was happening from the gallery. The arrogant Australian Grayson Waller, on the other hand, watched the match from a staircase in the audience.
Last place goes to Cameron Grimes, for which Carmelo Hayes congratulates him directly. But Grimes will not be able to win the title. Meanwhile, Santos Escobar has found a microphone and promises to win the North American Championship and bring it to the Familia. Grayson Waller steps in, stating family is irrelevant, only the gold matters to him, and he’ll go viral with the gold. Solo Sikoa also promises to win the title soon, while Grimes wants to take the title “to the moon” with him. With that, he drops his mic and punches Hayes, inviting the other gentlemen into the ring. A giant brawl erupts between participants in Saturday’s ladder match, ending the last show before Stand and Deliver. “Stand and Deliver” takes place on Saturday evening at 7:00 p.m. German time!
