The NXT Title match is set for NXT Stand & Deliver as Darkstate strikes again.
After weeks of tension between all three men, it was announced by WWE NXT GM Ava that Oba Femi will defend the NXT Title during WrestleMania weekend against former Champion Trick Williams and Je'Von Evans. The announcement came on the heels of another confrontation between all three men. While Williams tried to dismiss Evans, Evans accused him of copying Carmelo Hayes's mannerisms to get to the top of NXT. Oba Femi would interject himself into the confrontation, leading to the announcement that the title match would be made quickly.
After the announcement, Darkstate, the destructive group consisting of Cutler James, Dion Lennox, Saquon Shugars, and Osiris Griffin, appeared. Unlike last week, they attacked all three men, saving Williams for last.
No one is safe.
