Mick Foley: “That’s right, King! Tonight, the NXT Superstars are ready to lay it all on the line, even with the mood feeling a bit somber as we have learned that Camden Cross has been terminated from the company! We are without leadership tonight!”
Jerry Lawler: “Absolutely, Mick! Cross has been removed from the Board as well as Fandango! Fandango has actually secured a contract to be on the NXT roster since the allegations concluded that he was coerced by Cross and unaware of the burning down of Murrey’s mansion. He thought they were really guest catering for the event.”
Mick Foley: “And with our NXT Universe here in Philadelphia and viewers tuning in from around the world, there’s no better time to witness the magic of NXT Stand and Deliver!”

Mick Foley: “Absolutely, King! It’s been a back-and-forth battle from the get-go, but who will come out on top?”
(As Sonya Deville gains the upper hand, delivering a series of punishing kicks, Lacey Evans finds herself on the defensive. Desperate to regain control, she quickly reaches into her pants, pulling out a long black foreign object that was surprisingly hidden from view.)
(With the referee’s back turned, Lacey Evans seizes her opportunity, swinging the foreign object with precision. The metal object connects with Sonya Deville’s mouth, sending her crashing to the mat.)

(As the match progresses, Austin Theory starts to gain momentum, delivering a flurry of impressive maneuvers.)
Johnny Knoxville: “Whoa, did you see that, Lawrence? Theory just hit Gargano with a textbook suplex! He’s really turning up the heat!”
Johnny Lawrence: “Impressive stuff from Theory, Knoxville! But don’t count Gargano out just yet. He’s as crafty as they come!”
(Just when it seems like Gargano is mounting a comeback, Austin Theory counters with a devastating finishing move, pinning Gargano for the three-count.)
Johnny Knoxville: “And there it is, folks! Austin Theory picks up the win over our boy Johnny Gargano!”
Johnny Lawrence: “What a victory for Theory! Gargano gave it his all, but in the end, Theory was just too much to handle! What a badass!”
Johnny Knoxville: “Well, Lawrence, looks like Theory came out on top tonight. But hey, at least Gargano can take solace in knowing he’s still got that killer mustache, am I right?”
Johnny Lawrence: “Haha, you got that right, Knoxville! And who knows? Maybe next time, Gargano will come back even stronger and keep his girl. But for now, let’s give it up for our winner, Austin Theory!”

Gunther vs Drew McIntyre vs Damian Priest
The opening riffs of Gunther’s theme music hit, and the European Champion makes his way to the ring, his imposing presence commanding the attention of the Philadelphia crowd. He steps into the squared circle, his eyes scanning for his opponents.
Drew McIntyre’s theme hits, and the Scottish Warrior strides confidently to the ring, ready for battle. Damian Priest is close behind, the first ever WWE Champion exuding an aura of danger as he joins his opponents in the ring.
The bell rings, and the three men waste no time engaging in a furious exchange of strikes and grapples.

Intercontinental Championship Match
Ryback vs Johnny Lawerence

Foley: That’s right, King. Ryback is looking to make a huge statement here tonight as Lawrence has been a pain in the ass for Ryback leading up to all of this.
The “Cruel Summer” theme song blares through the speakers, and the Cobra Kai sensei strides to the ring.
The bell rings, and the match begins with a hard-hitting exchange of strikes and grapples. Ryback uses his power to overwhelming effect, but Johnny manages to avoid the worst of the punishment, looking for openings to counter.
Lawler: Ryback is just manhandling Johnny Lawrence right now, Mick. Sheer power is on full display.
Foley: But Johnny’s not going down without a fight, King! He’s using his speed and agility to try and stay one step ahead of Ryback. This is a classic battle of power versus technique.
Suddenly, Ryback’s mother emerges from the crowd, charging towards the ring and attacking Johnny Lawrence from behind. Ryback stands by, a smirk on his face, as his mother assaults Lawerence.
Foley: I can’t believe it, Jerry! Ryback must have planned this all along, using his own mother to blindside and betray Johnny! What an underhanded tactic from the champion!
Johnny is caught off guard by the unexpected assault, but he manages to fight back, pushing Ryback’s mother out of the ring. Bloodied and battered, he turns his attention back to Ryback, determined to win the title.
Lawler: Johnny Lawrence is fighting through the pain and the betrayal, Mick! He’s not going to let this stop him from winning the Intercontinental Championship.
Foley: You’ve got that right, King. Johnny’s showing the heart of a champion here. He’s weathered the storm and now he’s going right back at Ryback, looking to put this match away.
Johnny delivers a series of vicious strikes, followed by a devastating bulldog. Sensing an opportunity, he pulls a pair of brass knuckles from his tights and lands a devastating shot, pinning Ryback for the victory.
Lawler: Unbelievable! Johnny Lawrence has overcome the odds to become the Intercontinental Champion! He used those brass knuckles to overcome Ryback’s mother’s betrayal and pick up the win!

Foley: I can’t believe it, King. Murrey must be furious after The Viking Raiders’ victory, and he’s brought in his cronies to try and take them out. This is an all-out assault on the Tag Team Champions.
The Viking Raiders, undeterred by the sudden attack, fight back with fierce intensity, easily overpowering their assailants. In the chaos, the announce team shares some breaking news.
Lawler: Folks, we’ve just received word that CEO Murrey has sold 25% of his WWE stock to Endeavor, and Elizabeth has purchased a significant share of Fandango and Camden Cross’ stock. We don’t have the exact percentages, but this is a major development in the world of WWE.

The match is a back-and-forth affair, with neither man willing to back down.
Pat: These two are just beating the living daylights out of each other, Mick! Big E is using his sheer power to try and overwhelm The Rock, but the champion is showing incredible resilience.
Suddenly, Solo Sikoa emerges from the crowd, rushing to the ring and attacking Big E with a devastating Samoan Spike while The Rock distracts the referee. The Rock quickly covers Big E for the victory.
Foley: This is a shocking turn of events, Pat! Solo Sikoa has clearly come to aid his cousin, The Rock, and it’s paid off. The Rock has held on to the WWE Championship, but at what cost? The Bloodline is making a major statement here tonight.
The Rock stands tall in the ring, holding the WWE Championship high above his head. He raises one finger, a clear symbol of the Bloodline’s dominance, as Solo Sikoa stands by his side.
Pat: The Rock has retained the WWE Championship, but it was with the help of Solo Sikoa and the Bloodline. The champion is making a clear statement here tonight, and it’s a message that the entire WWE roster will have to take seriously.
Foley: You’re absolutely right! The Bloodline is firmly in control, and The Rock is sending a message to the entire WWE Universe. With Solo Sikoa by his side, The Rock has solidified his reign as the WWE Champion, and it’s going to take a monumental effort to dethrone him.
