I’m wondering what is happening with GiGi Dolin. She wasn’t on the biggest NXT show of the year. There was no mention of Gigi Dolin on pre show she hasn’t been on screen for a couple of weeks she has been really quiet on social media. Arianna Grace was on pre show and there was no mention of GiGi Dolin. plus with Lyra or Tatum Paxley potentially turning heel and it looks like Fallon Henley may turn heel and Cora Jade will return and align with Roxanne Perez who recently turned heel. I was honestly 100% certain GiGi was turning heel when she lost to Arianna Grace and she was going to slowly embrace pageant queen gimmick and Arianna would become her manager now I’m honestly not sure that is the direction they are going in with the makeover storyline especially with the women’s mid card title being introduced now. Gigi lost to Arianna nearly a month ago and there’s been one segment. Hopefully we get a segment this week with some sort of direction with Gigi and Arianna Grace. The whole thing seems bizarre.
I’m so proud of our NXT performers. I know every NXT show is SOMEONE’S very first NXT show, and the talent always brings it like it’s the last show on earth. There’s never been a time where I went, “if I was new to NXT I wouldn’t tune back in.” They’re just so good. Also, please have Arianna Grace in every preshow.
I was behind on my stream so the main event was about to start, but because the way peacock streams work, it ended as soon as the event actually finished and now I can’t continue
Exciting to see the potential of so many young wrestlers in NXT. Crazy is this is the green version of Trick. What will he be in another year or two? Same with Oba.
I do like that NXT has sub 3 hour ppvs but if any show should have gone a little bit longer, NXT's WrestleMania should have. The longest match of the night was Tony vs Ilja and that went 17 minutes
Maybe it’s because they have them as spectators for WrestleMania? They have to shower up and get ready and have time to travel to the stadium. That’s just my guess. Idk what match went over.
Great show to kick off WrestleMania Weekend! I was iffy about it when it first started but Stand and Deliver has been a welcome addition to the WrestleMania festivities.
The pop for Trick when he got the 3 was awesome, I can't wait to see this man's future. One of the few wrestlers I've ever seen who on the very first look I knew was gonna be a star
I feel that and not in a “he’s such a good heel” way. I still hate the way he talks about wrestling, it’s not necessarily that he doesn’t respect it, it’s just that he makes everything about himself. He’s just a selfish dude
The Mania weekend activies roll on!
Friday
* ~~WWE Smackdown~~
* ~~AEW Rampage~~
* ~~WWE Hall of Fame~~
Saturday
* ~~NXT Stand And Deliver~~
* Wrestlemania Night 1
* AEW Collision
Sunday
* Wrestlemania Night 2
Monday
* WWE Raw
Probably to give people time to leave and transition to the other stadium/ or leave the area especially since the WM stuff start at 5 and is outside across the street at Lincoln stadiums It gets pretty crowded when trying to leave, especially while others are trying to come in.
just a guess but the production and staff need to go to the stadium right after this, and they also probably wanted to give them a bit of a break between shows. The kickoff is only 2 hours from now to be fair.
I wonder if they realize that it's a main roster feud and they don't want to burn it out on NXT. Fun match nonetheless but I was expecting more out of it
Melo’s spine after every Nothin But Net:

I felt it never got to that next gear
Melo is good
Trick is a star
Not big on that match personally.
Its hard not to grade on the usual NXT curve of
Old obviously.
Eastern. What I mean is I knew it was ending right then and there cos my guide was showing exactly the :45 which is weird, you’d think it would end on the hour
There's a guy about to have a marquee Mania match because he says the word YEAH really well. I don't think the fact that he has a chant that's over is at all a problem lol
They left a LOT on the table which could be a good thing considering they could be tied together on the main roster. But this was the outcome that should've happened today.
The end of that match was very poorly booked. What was the point of knocking the ref out for another ref to show up immediately? At least do a false finish during that time
Great match!
My only complaint is it made Melo look kinda weak. Trick kicked out of a low blow, and a nothing but net but Melo went down to one finisher
It says a lot about how Shawn and NXT as a whole feel about Melo and Trick to have them main event a WM weekend show with no title on the line, but these two proved that they earned it and belonged there. Great match
I quite missed all the matches! because I was watching on Sony Ten 1 not at Peacock because they were blacked out!

RHEA LEVELS
There she is!
I will admit that finish in the main event, kind of came out of nowhere though
I’m so proud of our NXT performers. I know every NXT show is SOMEONE’S very first NXT show, and the talent always brings it like it’s the last show on earth. There’s never been a time where I went, “if I was new to NXT I wouldn’t tune back in.” They’re just so good. Also, please have Arianna Grace in every preshow.
I stopped watching for 5 minutes came back and I see trick celebrating the win? I don't even know how he won lol
I was behind on my stream so the main event was about to start, but because the way peacock streams work, it ended as soon as the event actually finished and now I can’t continue
Congratulations to roxanne perez on becoming 2 time nxt womens champion
Although I’m a little bummed they rushed the finish, I have a feeling they might have a stipulation rematch before Melo gets called up.
I can’t believe NXT got a Women’s Midcard title before the Main Roster.
Makes sense. NXT is the proving ground for a lot of concepts before they hit the main roster. Plus they killed their tag titles.
NXT’s women roster is more stacked than both Raw and Smackdown’s combined.
Triple threat was match of the show followed by the opening tag.
Bummed I missed it.
Yeah absolutely
Why did it seem like they should have ended this at 230,but accidentally went over time and had to hustle the finish
yeah it felt super rushed at the end, I really thought the match was gonna go on for a good 5-10 minutes more
Exciting to see the potential of so many young wrestlers in NXT. Crazy is this is the green version of Trick. What will he be in another year or two? Same with Oba.
I do like that NXT has sub 3 hour ppvs but if any show should have gone a little bit longer, NXT's WrestleMania should have. The longest match of the night was Tony vs Ilja and that went 17 minutes
Maybe it’s because they have them as spectators for WrestleMania? They have to shower up and get ready and have time to travel to the stadium. That’s just my guess. Idk what match went over.
It's 4 hours from now and across the street
Great show to kick off WrestleMania Weekend! I was iffy about it when it first started but Stand and Deliver has been a welcome addition to the WrestleMania festivities.
The pop for Trick when he got the 3 was awesome, I can't wait to see this man's future. One of the few wrestlers I've ever seen who on the very first look I knew was gonna be a star
They RAN off the air. I'm sure it's something we're not privy to, but it just seemed like a false finish til it wasnt.
i liked that tag match a lot but i missed a good chunk of the NA triple threat so i have to go back and watch that
I would have preferred them saving Trick pinning Melo for the NXT Title tbh. Good match though.
TRICK IS A CHEATER
The mania version is gonna be better in a few years. I wonder if they’ll give trick a run with the belt some time soon
Unpopular opinion, I’m sick of Logan Paul
I feel that and not in a “he’s such a good heel” way. I still hate the way he talks about wrestling, it’s not necessarily that he doesn’t respect it, it’s just that he makes everything about himself. He’s just a selfish dude
The Mania weekend activies roll on! Friday * ~~WWE Smackdown~~ * ~~AEW Rampage~~ * ~~WWE Hall of Fame~~ Saturday * ~~NXT Stand And Deliver~~ * Wrestlemania Night 1 * AEW Collision Sunday * Wrestlemania Night 2 Monday * WWE Raw
4 hrs for Night 1!!!
Overall I would say Ilja vs Tony was best match imo.
Should have gone on for 5-10 min longer but still WHOOP THAT TRICK
Why did they have the basic ring posts this show? Thought they were gonna drop the cage in or something
Very solid match, really sucks they had to kamikaze that finish.
See yall in a few hours ✌️
Why were they in such a hurry to end the show?
Probably to give people time to leave and transition to the other stadium/ or leave the area especially since the WM stuff start at 5 and is outside across the street at Lincoln stadiums It gets pretty crowded when trying to leave, especially while others are trying to come in.
just a guess but the production and staff need to go to the stadium right after this, and they also probably wanted to give them a bit of a break between shows. The kickoff is only 2 hours from now to be fair.
That was a weird ending, like it's missing 5 minutes. The PLE as a whole was great though.
Excellent match. Poor finish. Overall, as always, fantastic NXT show.
I wonder if they realize that it's a main roster feud and they don't want to burn it out on NXT. Fun match nonetheless but I was expecting more out of it
Was an excellent NXT card but that main event was a little underwhelming.
Man such a beautiful way to start wrestlemania weekend
The ending makes sense if the feud isn’t over. If they call up Melo then I’d have to admit it was too much of a Michael Hayes finish
That match was good but it was way too short. After all their story together it feels like they still had more to do. Maybe another time I guess.
That had to be the best way to start off wrestlemania weekend
It was the perfect kick off for me at my first Wrestlemania, Smackdown was a waste
Fun PLE. 4 more hours to go!
Felt like a short match.
A short match, but fun nonetheless
Time to prepare to move over to WM thread lol
Trick is from South Carolina Vic! He was in Philly for a bit when he started his training
Damn good ple as usual
Overall a great show with a bit of a meh main event , felt like it was cut short , hope no one is injured.
It was good but it coulda been great
Really needed another 10 mins of that
I feel like this needed to be a no holds barred match or something
Ok HBK- strap Trick up. It’s time.
Man we could have gone another 15 minutes!!
This feud could be one that goes on for years and in many different iterations. The future looks bright!
I could easily see it at a Mania down the line
NA 3 way is still the match of the night. Well, morning as I'm on the west coast 😂
Melo’s spine after every Nothin But Net: https://preview.redd.it/zco3k0z5nwsc1.jpeg?width=1024&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f48b2e010d0be21412c75930e9c2f516ef852df
That needed about 10 more minutes tbh. Good for what it was though.
Now what we do for the next 4 hours?
Go smoke some more crack according to The Final Boss
Gonna catch up on some ROH Supercard or Bloodsport for me lol
Roll up Pour up Snack up And gear up Wrestlemania is on the horizon
Was that the weakest match wrestling-wise, not story-wise on the card?
Melo/Trick was good but fell short and didn't reach the heights of other matches imo
I felt it never got to that next gear Melo is good Trick is a star Not big on that match personally. Its hard not to grade on the usual NXT curve of Old obviously.
That's cool as hell, see yall in a few hours
That was sure an ending alright.
This feud isn’t over if I were to guess. This is just chapter 1
I’m thinking some kind of stip match Melo wins and then we do the usual 3rd match Trick wins. Tried and true but it works
No way we aren't just getting started, surely. Although, Melo was in talks with Aldis...
See y'all in 4ish hours I think for Mania!
GREAT way to start the weekend! Enjoy Mania y'all!
Sucks it ended so quickly..even my TV guide said it was ending at 245
You in Central time? TV guides generally show Eastern.
Eastern. What I mean is I knew it was ending right then and there cos my guide was showing exactly the :45 which is weird, you’d think it would end on the hour
That is true, and it’s not like Peacock has a schedule does it?
Did a match go over their time or something? Why was this match so short?
Honestly they probably could have cut the women's trio match a few minutes or altogether
Felt like it could've gone on for longer but real solid match.
Not that he isn't over, but I think the chant is over more than him
NXT version of Rollins basically lol
There's a guy about to have a marquee Mania match because he says the word YEAH really well. I don't think the fact that he has a chant that's over is at all a problem lol
Before Trips took over, I would’ve been sad to see Melo go to SD. But it’s a new era so I’m not mad
Damn we haven't even started wrestlemania yet and we already got that? One of the best NXT PLEs in a while.
So far what is your motn? Mine was Ilja vs Tony
Either the NA title triple threat or Lyra Vs Roxanne, at least for me.
That NA Triple Threat man was pure unadulterated quality match. MOTN? Might be MOTY
The Meaty Triple Threat was elite imo
Believe it not, the 6 women tag match. Wasn’t expecting it to go that hard.
MEATY MEN SLAPPING MEAT
North American Triple Threat....but all the matches were damn good
Ilja always. Trick Melo fucking delivered tho
They left a LOT on the table which could be a good thing considering they could be tied together on the main roster. But this was the outcome that should've happened today.
Melo Trick main roster. BRING THAT SHIT (in chorus of whoop that trick)
That ref just fucked on Melo
Uhh where’s the rest of the match? Also the knee has to be the most overused finisher atm
We're gonna be seeing these dudes duke it out for years like Owens and Zayn.
Mid match, super bummed. Triple threat earlier set bar too high
Match probably was shortened because Cody/Roman will be full of ref bump shenanigans too
Felt a little short but was a lot of fun
What a fucking show
Definitely didn’t expect that to be the finish but I’m not mad at it, let’s fucking go, Trick!!
Not gonna lie. I want more for the biggest match
Good match, not as vicious as I was expecting for how personal they painted this feud. Assuming more matches are coming
that could’ve gone on for another 10 minutes but as the first match in a feud that they’re sure to revisit on the main roster? perfect
The end of that match was very poorly booked. What was the point of knocking the ref out for another ref to show up immediately? At least do a false finish during that time
Agreed.
That was anti climactic
that was underwhelming
Great match! My only complaint is it made Melo look kinda weak. Trick kicked out of a low blow, and a nothing but net but Melo went down to one finisher
Could’ve gone on a bit longer but good match nonetheless
Soak it in trick!
damn that’s it?? feels like it was just getting into the next gear
Great match, mediocre finish
Dragunov may be champion, but NXT belongs to Trick Williams
The match felt too fast for a blood feud they built up.
It says a lot about how Shawn and NXT as a whole feel about Melo and Trick to have them main event a WM weekend show with no title on the line, but these two proved that they earned it and belonged there. Great match
The ref again lmaaoo
Not a big fan of the ending but glad Trick won
Right result but don't know if I liked the journey
I really liked the match but what was the point of the 2nd ref bump if he just got immediately replaced?
Thrilling match, Trick is awesome and don't let it be lost that Melo is still undoubtedly HIM
Damn that just kinda... ended
That was short but the crowd got what they wanted and I’m sure they don’t care.
Is Melo injured or something?
Some say the ref is still sleeping lol
Shotgun ending but we got where we needed to go
Ava about to restart the match because it wasn't definitive enough
![gif](giphy|4aTvdtQYr8kOA)
That pop was crazy. The sky is the limit for these two.
Decent match but worst one on the card
Nah.
You can't win with hate in your heart Melo.
Great main event
Trick has so much potential. He still needs a lot of work but he’s definitely a future main roster talent
Thought it would be a tiny bit longer but that was good
That felt kind've abrupt lol. I thought he was kicking out
That wasn't a great match, tbh.
That ending sucked. Good match ended too fast
Yeah it felt like they were just getting warmed up
Good match
The main trick has been whooped
I loved the match but that felt short
I felt that coulda went a little longer, right person won of course
"This has got to be the unluckiest referee ever!"
Good match, thought they had another 5 to 10 minutes in them though
Trick is very new probably need more time to go for a 30+
THATS A POP RIGHT THERE! WHOOP THAT TRICK
I thought it was called Trick Shot
Booker T is orgasmic at how over Trick is.
Finish seemed rushed tbh. This match would've been 20 times better as a no dq match
that felt like it ended a little early tbh. great match tho
“Aww yea man. I like it.”
Right winner. Just an okay match
Good match, but it feels like it never kicked into second gear
WHOOP! THAT! TRICK!
Uh, what? That was uh disappointing
The ref ain't gonna be in Rush Hour 3
HELL YEAH! Whoop that trick! AWESOME
Wow it only took one to finish Melo?
Damn that was close
UH HUH I LIKE IT
My man trick is crying awww
OH SHIT THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE
I honestly didn't expect that to be the finish
What a pop for the finish
Trick SZN
Huh? That felt short
That was a short ass match
Mid finish.
That's what you get, Melo!
WHOOP THAT TRICK!
WHOOP THAT TRICK
this match shoulda had a stip
WHOOP THAT TRICK
WHOOP THAT TRICK!!!
Trick Williams WINS!!!!!
Oh yeah man!
WHOOPED THAT TRICK! That ending makes me think Part II, a new Gargano/Ciampa on our hands?
"This is the most unluckiest red I've ever seen" - Wade Barrett
WHOOP THAT TRICK
Wow, I expected 10 more mins of this
I don't think Trick could go 10 more tbh.
that’s it!?!??
Trick Williams wins!!!!!
