The main event for NXT Stand & Deliver 2024 has been confirmed, with top WWE names commenting on the headline match announcement.
Ahead of WrestleMania 40 Saturday on April 6, NXT will hold its huge Stand & Deliver premium live event earlier in the day.
With several top matches slated for the event, it was recently reported that Carmelo Hayes vs Trick Williams was set to headline WWE’s first wrestling show during WrestleMania 40 weekend.
WWE has now confirmed that Hayes vs Williams will headline NXT Stand & Deliver, with Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels telling Sports Illustrated’s FanNation:
“The Trick Williams-Carmelo Hayes story has been a driving force of NXT over the past several months. It deserves to be the main event of what is sure to be a memorable NXT Stand and Deliver.”
Triple H shared WWE’s announcement post on Twitter, hyping up Hayes and Williams’ feud as one destined for the main event spot.

Following teases of dissension between the best friends, Carmelo Hayes showed his true colors at NXT Vengeance Day when he betrayed Trick Williams in a brutal attack during the closing moments of the show.
After this attack, Hayes revealed that it was him that secretly ambushed Trick Williams on NXT TV back in October 2023.
Williams returned to get a measure of revenge at NXT Roadblock 2024.
An update has emerged on main roster plans discussed for both Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams following NXT Stand & Deliver, which you can read more about right here.
