WWE has taken to its website and social media to confirm which match will main event night two of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.
The April 8 show on Peacock and the WWE Network will be headlined by Finn Balor defending the NXT Championship against Karrion Kross.
It was revealed yesterday that the first night, which will be April 7 on the USA Network, will be main evented by Io Shirai defending the NXT Women’s Championship against Raquel Gonzalez.
Other matches set for TakeOver so far are Jordan Devlin vs Santos Escobar in a Cruiserweight Title unification match, and almost certainly Adam Cole vs Kyle O’Reilly.
On the Balor vs Kross match, WWE.com writes:
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!
Be sure to tune in to NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, beginning Wednesday, April 7 at on USA Network and continuing Thursday, April 8, streaming exclusively on Peacock in the U.S. and on WWE Network everywhere else.
