NXT North American Championship: Cameron Grimes defeated NXT North American Champion, Carmelo Hayes (with Trick Williams), Grayson Waller (with Sanga), Solo Sikoa & Santos Escobar (with Legado del Fantasma). (Ladder Match)
“The A Champion” had grand plans for his NXT North American Championship defense at NXT Stand & Deliver, but chaotic brutality came calling instead. In an attempt to retain the title the way it was introduced, Carmelo Hayes battled Cameron Grimes, Grayson Waller, Solo Sikoa and Santos Escobar in a Fatal 5-Way Ladder Match.
Hayes was flying high with some early moonsaults, taking out multiple competitors outside the squared circle. A springing clothesline from “The A Champion” leveled Waller off the ladder and appeared to open the door for a retention, but Sikoa and Escobar smashed their way in. Escobar delivered an absolutely devastating Sunset Flip Powerbomb to Sikoa from one ladder onto the other that reverberated throughout the entire American Airlines Center.
The presence of Sanga, Legado del Fantasma and Trick Williams at ringside only upped the mayhem, as Elektra Lopez got in the face of Sanga when he tried to assist Waller, and Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza attacked him.
Grimes halted Williams’ misguided climb up the ladder, which invited all five competitors to try and scale the steps to glory. As the dust settled, Waller went all-out for his viral moment when he leapt from atop a ladder at ringside and attempted to drive his elbow through the heart of Hayes. Unfortunately for Waller, he came up empty as Hayes scrambled off the ladder, and the trash-talking Superstar was left with only the unforgiving steel to break his fall from grace.
With one more flurry of action, Grimes nailed another Cave In on Escobar and climbed the steps straight to the moon and the North American Title. The NXT Universe erupted as Grimes raised the gold at the top of the ladder and dedicated the victory to his late father in an emotional title celebration. (Via WWE.com)

Tony D'Angelo defeated Tommaso Ciampa.
Tony D’Angelo made a grand entrance alongside his new paisano and former General Manager of the infamous Danbury Trashers from the “Netflix Untold: Crime & Penalties” documentary AJ Galante. Tommaso Ciampa was unphased by the antics and approached the ring with the ferocity that defined his career in NXT. Rumors of his NXT run coming to a close had been swirling, but The Blackheart was focused on one thing: crushing the spirit of his brash challenger.
D’Angelo didn’t waste the opportunity to deliver some trash talking and declare the ring his own. The taunts incensed Ciampa, who chopped away at the loudmouthed Superstar and unleashed a beatdown.
When D’Angelo got back on his heels, he reached for his trusty crowbar, and even a missed swing distracted the official enough to allow D’Angelo to blast Ciampa with an uppercut below the belt. The ensuing slam resulted in a near-fall, but Ciampa nearly wrote the perfect final chapter. Much to the shock of Ciampa and the WWE Universe, however, D’Angelo kicked out from the Fairytale Ending.
As the action spilled to the outside, D’Angelo was in his element and hit a DDT that sent Ciampa straight into the exposed flooring. D’Angelo threw Ciampa back into the ring and landed one more swift kick to earn the victory and crown himself “The Don of NXT.” With Ciampa’s fate seemingly sealed on NXT, the NXT Universe and then Triple H gave one of the brand’s most accomplished Superstars a well-deserved ovation.

NXT Tag Team Championship: MSK defeated NXT Tag Team Champions, IMPERIUM and The Creed Brothers (with Ivy Nile & Malcolm Bivens). (Triple Threat Tag Team Match)
The NXT Tag Team Title Triple Threat Match was a clash of styles, as acrobatic, technical and powerful skillsets were all on display. Imperium knew they’d have their hands full with a title defense against former champions MSK and the imposing Creed Brothers, and the challengers came out firing to end their reign.
Julius Creed was shot out of a cannon early on, as he chopped down one competitor after another. Marcel Barthel de-cleated Wes Lee with a vicious uppercut that allowed Fabian Aichner to show off his mix of athleticism and pure power. Lee & Nash Carter started flying, but Brutus Creed put on perhaps the most jaw-dropping aerial display when he used a cannonball from the ropes to wipe out most of the field.
Imperium appeared to regroup the quickest and went on to wipe out The Creed Brothers and set their sights on a sprawled-out Carter. With a title retention appearing imminent, Lee came from out of nowhere to tee up an incredible tandem maneuver to Barthel that brought the championships back to MSK. (Via WWE.com)

NXT Women's Championship: NXT Women's Champion, Mandy Rose defeated Cora Jade, Kay Lee Ray & Io Shirai. (Fatal 4-Way match)
Mandy Rose arrived in style, floating in with a winged entrance and new-look NXT Women’s Title. Io Shirai, Cora Jade and Kay Lee Ray were all intent on crashing Rose’s party, and with the ring cleared, recent teammates The Genius of the Sky and KLR went to battle.
After she finished throwing haymakers with Shirai, Ray went airborne to wipe out Jade, but Shirai followed it up with her own high-risk moonsault to once again target KLR. Jade suddenly leveled Ray with a stunning reversal that slammed the former NXT UK Champion onto the apron.
The Genius of the Sky then targeted the NXT Women’s Champion with missile dropkicks and a series of aerial attacks that had Rose scrambling. After a wild sequence with all four competitors, Rose pulled out one final trick as she got her knees up just in time to divert Shirai’s final moonsault attempt. The Toxic Champion went right for the rollup and left NXT Stand & Deliver just as she entered – in heavenly fashion. (Via WWE.com)

Gunther defeated LA Knight.
Gunther strikes fear into most around the NXT Universe, but LA Knight is built different than the rest. The megastar had proclaimed he wanted to “chop the block off” Gunther’s “dad bod,” and that attitude had him rolling early.
LA Knight nearly secured the pinfall after a crushing elbow drop and extreme superplex off the top rope to the leader of Imperium. The confident Superstar put in plenty of effort to ward off Gunther’s chops, but it was only a matter of time before The Ring General won out with his strength.
Gunther cleaned LA Knight clear off the top rope with a clothesline, and a thunderous splash nearly drove his opponent right through the mat. Imperium’s leader righted a lot of the earlier wrongs with one final Powerbomb to seal the win. (Via WWE.com)

NXT Championship: NXT CHAMPION, Dolph Ziggler (with Robert Roode) defeated Bron Breakker.
Fresh off inducting his uncle and father into the WWE Hall of Fame, Bron Breakker burst onto NXT Stand & Deliver armed with a chainsaw and the family’s signature bark. The defiant Dolph Ziggler came in with his usual swagger, knowing he had Robert Roode and plenty of experience on his side.
Breakker was in control early, as he imposed his will with a series of overhead suplexes that had Ziggler out of breath and nearly out of time. Sensing the predicament, Roode grabbed the leg of the challenger and was ejected from ringside. As Breakker went to hunt him down, The Showoff used the opportunity to remove the padding from a middle turnbuckle.
As soon as the door opened, Ziggler seized his opportunity with a neckbreaker. The NXT Champion kept the challenger at arm’s length for a long stretch, but the NXT 2.0 prodigy came roaring back.
The challenger was undeterred, and a crushing Spear seemed to finish the champion, but Ziggler showed why his long history of success is no accident. One more Spear from Breakker teed up a press and slam, but the dismissed Roode reentered the scene to save his teammate. Breakker launched himself head-over-heels to wipe out The Dirty Dawgs at ringside but was met with a Famouser and Zig Zag in quick succession when he rolled back into the ring, though he somehow kicked out.
Even after receiving a skyscraping elbow drop from Ziggler, Breakker kept marching on to the shock of The Showoff. When Breakker went for one more signature press, Ziggler dug into his bag of tricks and raked the challenger’s eyes before sending him flying into the exposed turnbuckle. One last Superkick planted Breakker on the mat, and NXT 2.0 remained in the dirty hands of Dolph Ziggler. (Via WWE.com)
