In-depth Predictions/Other elements for NXT Stand & Deliver 2023 by AverageMansReviews

Chase University: Andre Chase, Duke Hudson & Thea Hail & Tyler Bate vs. Schism: Joe Gacy, Jagger Reid, Rip Fowler & Ava; Eight-Person Mixed Tag Team Match Winners gain control of Chase University: my pick is Schism: Joe Gacy, Jagger Reid, Rip Fowler & Ava. Simply for 3 reasons 1. It would fit in with this stipulation of gaining control of Chase University and 2 and 3, they wouldn't have Ava [Simone Johnson the eldest child of Wayne "The Rock" Johnson] lose her first match and on top of that her first Premium Live Event Match.

The Creed Brothers: Brutus & Julius Creed [with Ivy Nile] vs. The D'Angelo Family:Tony D'Angelo & Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo vs. Champs Gallus: Mark Coffey & Wolfgang; Triple Threat Match for the NXT Tag Team Championships: my pick is Gallus: Mark Coffey & Wolfgang. This is purely speculation; with possibly Joe Coffey returning to level up the numbers not to cheat, but just to make sure that is fellow stablemates have a fair opportunity to retain their Championships and once again this is purely speculation, I have no idea of the health or status of Joe Coffey, but I am coming from the perspective of a big event/time to bring him back into the fold, you couldn't get any bigger than WrestleMania weekend.

Dragon Lee vs. JD McDonagh vs. Ilja Dragunov vs. Axiom vs. Champ Wes Lee; Fatal Five-Way Match for the NXT North American Championship: my pick is Dragon Lee. With similar reasoning as Ava from earlier I can't see him losing especially with the extra incentive of look AEW, Lee came over to us and we need him a champion straight away.

 Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn vs. Champs Fallon Henley & Kiana James [with Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen;]Tag Team match for the NXT Women's Tag Team Championship: my pick is Fallon Henley & Kiana James [with Josh Briggs & Brooks Jensen.] Just based on interference from individually or together their male counterparts, basically this feud must continue.

Zoey Stark vs. Gigi Dolin vs. Tiffany Stratton vs. Lyra Valkyria vs. Indi Hartwell vs. Champ RoxannePerez ; Ladder Match for the NXT Women's Championship: my pick is Roxanne Perez. Basically this is all about storytelling and nothing more, Perez will win here, because if she doesn't this storyline doesn't work. It is like this; Perez comes back to defend their championship after dealing with her anxiety, it is designed to make her look like a big babyface them what she already is. Yes obviously they could have her lose, but they wouldn't do it here at this time, because even though I don't watch any of the TV programming even I know that the hierarchy see Perez as a big deal, they just want to reinforce the plucky underdog character layer on this WrestleMania weekend. In hindsight I did wonder why they didn't get Perez to vacate their Championship and now we know why.

Carmelo Hayes [with Trick Williams] vs. Champ Bron Breakker; Singles Match for the NXT Championship: my pick is Carmelo Hayes [with Trick Williams.] As this is WrestleMania weekend and Hayes gimmick is basically he is a big deal and big money, also Roman reigns will lose his Championships this weekend, it would seem logical and exciting to change both landscapes on the same weekend to have this new era within the WWE Universe.

But I feel I need to point out two points; the first being can we please have a believable dusty finish for Breakker to lose his championship obviously involving Williams. Secondly if Hayes doesn't win here, I will regard this as a identical situation to when the WWE had been building up to McIntyre defeating Reigns at WWE Clash at the Castle 2022 as in from the perspective of if Hayes doesn't defeat  Breakker when will he? Yes I have only seen Hayes and his gimmick with Williams perhaps a handful of times, but I have been around wrestling long enough to know when I can see a main eventer as long as when his time comes to go up to the main roster they keep Williams with him and don't give him/them a two-dimensional heel gimmicks, because the one they have between them in NXT is just printing money basically, they are a heel pairing, but they aren't complete heels, they know what they can bring to the table and they bring it, which makes them more at minimum as heels respectable and palatable, in a nutshell don't screw this opportunity up here or/and the future.

Grayson Waller vs. Johnny Gargano; Unsanctioned Match: my pick is Johnny Gargano. With a bit of sweet chin music from the NXT General Manager Shawn Michaels to just remind Waller who runs NXT, so this is why possibly the Unsanctioned Match and stipulation was put in place, so that HBK could come back for a spot of wrestling and it not being seen as a actual return based on it being unsanctioned, meaning it didn’t happen in the record books, even though we all know it happened or it may happen based on as this goes up it will still be a future possibility.

Updated information: this match was move to the Kickoff Show: Chase University: Andre Chase, Duke Hudson & Thea Hail & Tyler Bate vs. Schism: Joe Gacy, Jagger Reid, Rip Fowler & Ava; Eight-Person Mixed Tag Team Match Winners gain control of Chase University.
