It was revealed yesterday that Io Shirai Vs. Raquel Gonzalez would headline the first night of NXT Stand & Deliver. NXT has just revealed what will headline the second night of the show.
As most fans expected, the NXT Championship match between Finn Balor & Karrion Kross will headline the show. Kross was forced to relinquish the championship due to injury a few months ago and Finn Balor would be the man to eventually win the vacant title.
WWE released the following press release confirming the main event:
Finn Bálor has been virtually untouchable since his return to NXT, but he’s about to face his toughest test yet as NXT Champion. The Prince will put his title on the line against the undefeated Karrion Kross, accompanied by Scarlett, in the main event of Night 2 of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver on Thursday, April 8.
Bálor has stood tall in the face of all challengers during his six-month reign atop the black-and-gold brand, defeating the likes of Adam Cole, Pete Dunne and Kyle O’Reilly.
However, The Prince’s opportunity to become champion emerged after Kross was forced to vacate the title in August due to injury. The doomsday deviant has been on an absolute rampage since returning, dismantling Damian Priest, Santos Escobar and more. The two finally came face to face following Bálor’s title defense against Cole, with Kross locking eyes on The Prince and the championship he never lost.
Bálor is perhaps better than he’s ever been, while Kross may be the most unstoppable force in NXT history. When they finally meet at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, something has to give!
