He swings for a double sledge, but Dijak catches him and connects with a high-impact High Justice for a near-fall. Dijak blocks another superkick, lands his own, and hoists a dazed Spears for Feast Your Eyes, securing the pin for the victory. ## WINNER: Dijak ## Incensed after the match, Gacy wields Spears' chair atop the commentary table.## A hardened Perez reflects on her wide-eyed arrival last year, disgusted by that naivety. She craved universal approval, calling herself foolish for chasing photos with established stars. That wide-eyed girl is gone.## Her former idols offered nothing. Now, she's her own hero. Hailed as NXT's future, she envisioned ushering in a new era. Each big show was a stepping stone, but ultimately, she was cast aside, stripped of her championship. Survival demands self-interest.## Gacy earned a title shot for simply being himself, for bending the rules. Perez feels nothing for her opponent, Lyra - indifference reigns. Lyra merely holds the title that rightfully belongs to Perez.## At Stand and Deliver, the gold will be reclaimed. It will be back in its rightful hands. ## Thea Hail (with Andre Chase, Duke Hudson, and Riley Osborne) vs Jazmyn Nyx (with Jacy Jayne) ## Thea pummels Nyx with forearms and an arm wringer.

Nyx seizes the moment with a rollup, but Thea reverses into a kimura, forcing Nyx to tap out. ## WINNER: Thea Hail ## Jacy's treachery continues after the bell. She assaults Thea, who is then overwhelmed by a triple attack from Izzi and Kiana. Jacy rains kicks on Thea while the others restrain her.## Fallon Henley and Kelani Jordan arrive to even the odds, taking down Izzi and Kiana. A clothesline from each sends Izzi flying over the top rope. A tug-of-war erupts for Jacy, but Izzi and Kiana manage to drag her to safety. ## Trick reflects on his journey with Carmelo, feeling their bond was special since NXT. However, others suggest Trick needs to step out of Melo's shadow. Hayes confronts Trick, realizing Melo's true potential. Trick's time might be up as Melo rises. Meanwhile, Lola Vice issues an open challenge, setting the stage for action.

Frustration mounting, Nattie throws Lola into the ring apron and rains down forearms on her back.

She retaliates with a sharp kick and a brutal back elbow, then unleashes a barrage of punches. The referee steps in to prevent a corner attack, and Nattie expertly blocks a Lola kick before sending her crashing to the mat. Capitalizing on the momentum, Nattie delivers a punishing dropkick for a near fall. ## Lola demonstrates impressive technical prowess, countering a Sharpshooter attempt with a swift ankle lock, squeezing the trapped leg with a grapevine hold. However, Nattie manages to reach the ropes, forcing a break. Lola displays impressive strength by hoisting Nattie onto her shoulders, but the veteran wrestler battles back to her feet. Lola executes a La Magistral submission, but Nattie fights out, securing a near fall of her own. Lola stays aggressive, landing a thunderous back fist that nearly steals the victory. ## Suddenly, the crowd erupts as Karmen Petrovic appears ringside, her cheers clearly intended to bolster Nattie's spirit. Lola seems unfazed, exchanging heated words with Karmen before tauntingly shaking her hips. This momentary lapse in focus proves costly as Lola misses a back fist, leaving herself wide open for Nattie's devastating discus clothesline.## Despite the blow, Lola exhibits remarkable resilience, kicking Nattie away and attempting a surprise rollup for a near fall. Nattie counters with a vicious cross armbreaker, but Lola showcases her fighting spirit, blocking the maneuver and nearly stealing the win with another rollup.

However, the chair goes astray, landing at the feet of the unsuspecting Obari Femi.## We cut to a shot of Channing Lorenzo preparing for his upcoming match.## As we head to commercial, Ilja Dragunov enters the backstage area. ## Sol Ruca reflects on the fleeting nature of success, comparing it to a powerful wave that can quickly turn destructive. She blames Blair Davenport for mirroring this experience - Davenport's attack last year tore her ACL and sidelined her for months. Sol acknowledges the hardship of rehab but emphasizes her triumphant return. She declares next week's match is more than competition; it represents every agonizing day spent unable to walk or straighten her leg, every grueling session on the trainer's table. Next week, she vows to claim Blair's soul. ## Blair Davenport, interviewed alongside Kelly Kincaid, expresses frustration with Sol's persistent presence. Dismissing Sol's potential for vindication, Blair mocks her reliance on social media (referencing TikTok) for support. She expresses morbid curiosity about the quality of Sol's ACL reconstruction, hinting at another injury coming her way after their brutal encounter next week. ## Non-Title Match: Channing Lorenzo (with Adriana Rizzo) vs Ilja Dragunov ## The match kicks off with Ilja countering a suplex attempt, locking in a wrist control followed by a forearm strike. Grappling for control, Ilja cinches a waist lock, but Channing uses the ropes to break free. He responds with a swift dropkick. Channing peppers Ilja with punches and a clothesline. Ilja counters with a headbutt and brutal chops. A dodged enzuigiri by Channing sets him up for a flying corkscrew uppercut that sends Ilja reeling into the turnbuckles. Climbing the turnbuckles, Channing delivers a powerful bomb. Ilja attempts his signature H-Bomb, but Channing disrupts with a well-timed boot. Ilja retaliates by stomping Channing's hand, rendering his fingers useless.

Cut to the locker room, where Tony and Luca, sharply dressed in suits, watch the intense match unfold on a monitor.## Punches rain down on Ilja's head and injured hand from Channing. A knee drop further weakens the hand. Charging forward, Channing meets Ilja's forearm and a devastating back fist. Ilja leaps for a knee strike, followed by a swift enzuigiri to the back of Channing's head, sending him crashing into the ropes. Ilja capitalizes with a German suplex, then a powerful bomb. Seizing the opportunity, Ilja executes his finishing maneuver, the Torpedo Moscow, for the pin and the victory. ## WINNER: Ilja Dragunov ## Luca asks Tony if it's okay for him to go out there. Tony tells Luca to find Ilja and invite him to dinner next week for a special occasion.## In the next scene, Trick is back in Philadelphia and runs into some friends. He introduces them to his Uncle James, who he stayed with in Philly. Trick says his uncle will be at Stand and Deliver and that Philly is a special place to him. Trick says he thought Melo was like a brother to him.## Booker says Trick knows what it's about getting knocked down and getting back up to fight. Trick says a real brother wouldn't do what Melo did.## Punk says betrayal by a brother hurts the most. Booker says Trick will come back stronger and faster. Punk says when something terrible happens to you, you worry about turning into the bad guy yourself. The scene ends with Trick running up the steps of the Art Museum, saying he's coming for Melo.## We come back from commercial and see Bron Breakker in the locker room. Baron comes in and comments on Bron's tan, suggesting he uses tanning beds instead of going outside. Bron says he knows the difference. Luke and Karl arrive and ask if they're interrupting. They request a traditional tag match at Stand and Deliver. They tell Baron and Bron that if they lose, the match becomes a triple threat and they'll be left on the sidelines while Luke and Karl win. Baron says it will be a one-on-one match.## Ridge Holland is in the ring and says it's very hard for him to say what he has to say. He thanks the people who gave him a chance in wrestling and acknowledges the comments and messages he's seen about his performance. He says he's tired of letting wrestling affect his home life and that he's had tough conversations with his family and with himself. Ridge says wrestling requires physical strength and that he's decided to step away from in-ring competition to protect his health and his family. He thanks NXT for letting him return and apologizes that it didn't work out. Ridge exits the ring. ## Lyra is in a promo, saying there are right and wrong paths. She says becoming champion changes everything and that the title has a power that can corrupt.
