We are only three days faraway from “WWE NXT” Stand & Deliver 2026, and just hours away from the subsequent episode of “NXT!” We’re already broken down all of the things we loved and hated concerning the developmental brand’s biggest show of the 12 months, in addition to predicted where various wrestlers and storylines will go from here. But before we officially turn the page on\u00a0Stand & Deliver, it is time to officially name some winners and losers!<\/p>\n

Whose stock was raised the very best by their performance over the weekend \u2014 or by their win big on the PLE? In contrast, who walked out of Saturday night with significantly lower prospects than they’d before? Listed here are the largest winners and largest losers from “WWE NXT” Stand & Deliver 2026!<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Loser: Birthright<\/h2>\n

I do know, it was the pre-show, but how will you lead with anything than Birthright being a loser? It was their first big match as a brand new heel stable, they usually blew it. We didn’t do super great in our collective WINC predictions for Stand & Deliver, but at the least the opposite matches we got unsuitable were coin flips. This one appeared like an absolute lock \u2013 how do you book your generational villain group to stumble right out of the gate? And it is not like they were up against Asuka in 2016 here; when you may’t beat Hank and Tank and a pack of WWE Speed title contenders, what are you even doing here?<\/p>\n

Perhaps Shawn Michaels has some sensible plan to rehabilitate things from here, but it will be hard to take Birthright seriously with this loss so early on their record. And perhaps that is the point \u2013 perhaps a bunch led by Lexis King and Stacks Lorenzo was never going to be an enormous deal in “NXT.” But when that is the case, they’re losers for good, not only for this reason one match.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Winner: Myles Borne<\/h2>\n

Johnny Gargano has been a little bit of a joke on the most important roster in recent months, but he’s still an enormous deal in “NXT,” especially when he brings it Johnny Takeover style like he did at Stand & Deliver. For that reason, getting the win over him was huge for a prospect like Myles Borne, who earned an enormous ol’ feather in his cap as men’s North American Champion by beating an iconic “Black and Gold” superstar. It helps that the 2 men placed on a definite Match of the Night contender, and almost actually stole the show for a majority of fans.<\/p>\n

Borne has some big shoes to fill as North American Champion after being the person to finish Ethan Page’s 273-day reign, and this was a really nice start. He cannot face “NXT” Triple Crown Champions for each defense, but this was a large step forward by way of legitimacy for the young star and his nascent run as champion.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Loser (probably): The NXT women’s division<\/h2>\n
\n\"Zaria

Do not get me unsuitable \u2013 the NXT women’s division is in good hands with its current champions, Lola Vice and Tatum Paxley, who should serve to anchor it for a while going forward. And with the likes of Kendal Grey hanging around and the consistent ability to import recent talent from EVOLVE, overall things shall be just tremendous. But when the three women’s matches at Stand & Deliver are any indication, the division could be in for a reset, especially considering how close we’re to WrestleMania.<\/p>\n

All three women’s matches included a serious female star that is been rumored to be most important roster certain sooner reasonably than later: former women’s champion Jacy Jayne, Blake Monroe, and Sol Ruca. Jayne lost her title and Monroe didn’t win the ladies’s North American Championship back, meaning each are free and clear for post-WrestleMania call-ups if WWE so desires. As for Ruca, it could be barely surprising if her feud with Zaria only goes for one match, but you’d think if it was going to be an extended feud, Ruca would have lost. As a substitute, she won clean, which suggests that if she does get called up soon, the story of ZaRuca is already wrapped up nice and neat. I’m not saying any of all of those women are definitely about to get called up, nevertheless it’s about that point of the 12 months. Do not be surprised to see all or any of those three anchors of the “NXT” women’s division passed by May \u2013 it’s kind of of a shock to me that they are not gone already.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

Winner: Patience<\/h2>\n
\n\"Tony

\n

Patience was the theme of this 12 months’s Stand & Deliver, particularly by way of the 2 recent champions crowned on the show. It’s especially clear within the case of Tony D’Angelo, who has been on the developmental brand for the reason that days of “NXT 2.0” and who, after years of watching his peers get called as much as the most important roster, finally captured the NXT Championship on Saturday. We’re talking almost five full years of waiting for D’Angelo; the person competed at NXT WarGames 2021 alongside Bron Breakker and Carmelo Hayes. For him to finally capture the gold at Stand & Deliver (against three men who were newer to the promotion than he was, but who had all managed a run with the highest title before D’Angelo) was a large win for the concept of waiting on your turn.<\/p>\n

Similarly, Lola Vice has been a part of “NXT” since 2022 and has been positioned as a women’s title contender since 2024. She’s had quite a few shots on the belt, but could never appear to capture it. In actual fact, she’s been in contention long enough for a younger phenomenon to emerge in Kendal Grey, who could easily have been the one to finish Jacy Jayne’s reign. As a substitute, it’s finally Vice’s time. On an evening she might have been omitted by a rising talent from the subsequent generation of “NXT” stars, she as a substitute made good on her years of waiting and is finally on top of the deepest division in wrestling.<\/p>\n

Saturday night, the first sentiment I heard from fans about Stand & Deliver was “good for Lola and good for Tony.” It is a sentiment I share. Their patience paid off.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/article><\/div>\n
