Lola Vice Pins Jacy Jayne, Wins WWE NXT Women’s Title In Stand & Deliver 2026 Opener

Lola Vice pinned Jacy Jayne to beat her and Kendal Grey in a triple threat for the NXT Women’s Championship during Stand & Deliver. 

Vice and Grey secured their opportunity at the title during this past week’s “WWE NXT” after a draw; Grey pinned Vice, while also tapping out on the count of three, thus declaring the match a submission-pinfall double-finish. Thus, the decision was made for the both of them to challenge for Jayne’s title. 

Vice was the only one entering the bout with no one in her corner, with Grey flanked by Women’s Speed Champion and WrenQCC partner Wren Sinclair, and Jayne by her Fatal Influence stablemates Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid. 

That factored into the bout with Vice taking Grey out with a spinning backfist, falling out of the ring and allowing Jayne to make the cover. Vice put Grey’s foot on the ropes to break the fall, prompting Fatal Influence to get involved, only for Sinclair to take the both of them out. 

Back in the ring, Jayne took out Grey with the Rolling Encore to send her out of the ring, turning into a spinning backfist from Vice to get the winning pinfall. Vice is now the first female Cuban-American WWE champion in history. 

Birthright Falter, Lose 10-Person Tag Match On WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 Pre-Show

The babyface team of Hank & Tank, EK Prosper, Shiloh Hill, and Wren Sinclair scored a victory on the “WWE NXT” Stand & Deliver pre-show over Birthright. The new stable, consisting of TNA Knockouts Champion Arianna Grace, Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo, Uriah Connors, Lexis King, and Charlie Dempsey, just couldn’t get the job done ahead of “NXT’s” biggest night.

Sinclair started things off by getting in Dempsey’s face, and Grace hit her, causing a brawl before the bell rang. The teams got into their respective corners and the match officially got underway, and was back-and-forth until Birthright overpowered Hank. The former tag champ was able to tag in Sinclair after taking a beating.

Dempsey broke up Sinclair’s hold on Grace, and she went after him, but was almost rolled up by Grace off the distraction. Prosper tagged in and took out all the male challengers. Grace prevented Prosper from hitting a move off the top rope, and he was taken out with a German suplex from Dempsey on the outside.

Sinclair and Dempsey went face-to-face once again in the ring, this time, with Sinclair hitting Dempsey with chops before she suplexed him. Prosper had a big spot where he jumped from the stable turnbuckle to the top rope before taking out the field on the outside. Hill, now the legal competitor, pinned Dempsey after Hank & Tank hit him with double splashes for the win.

Maryland Attorney General To Intervene In Ring Boy Lawsuit Against WWE And McMahons

The filing continues to note that the stay was lifted as a result of the decision on February 10, 2025, after which plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 28, and defendants filed to dismiss the claims against them on June 11 – while never questioning the constitutionality of the CVA.

The Attorney General states that his interest in this case is defending the constitutionality of the CVA, rather than advocating for any specific party in the merits of their case.

“While the defendants in this case have alluded to constitutional challenges in their respective answers, including raising constitutional questions apparently already answered by the Supreme Court… They have not yet articulated what those challenges are,” the filing continues. “The Attorney General therefore cannot yet determine the basis for defendants’ assertions.”

The Attorney General continues to say that intervention would prevent the court from having to consider “unnecessary constitutional questions that defendants may not have ultimately raised.”

Judge James K. Bredar approved the Attorney General’s intervention for those purposes on April 2. As a result, counsel representing the Attorney General will attend the conference call on April 8 regarding scheduling going forward. 

The McMahons have never argued whether the alleged abuse occurred, but rather that they had no actionable knowledge nor a valid duty of care that should make them defendants in this case. No official decision has been made on the merits of the allegations or claim. 

WWE NXT Stand & Deliver Results 4/4 – Five Championships On The Line, Sol Ruca Takes On Zaria

Welcome to Wrestling Inc.’s live coverage for “WWE NXT” Stand & Deliver on April 4, 2026, coming to you live from The Factory at the District in St Louis, Missouri at a special main show start time of 7 PM ET!

Joe Hendry will be putting the NXT Championship on the line for the first time on “NXT” programming since retaining against Ricky Saints as he defends against Saints, Ethan Page, and Tony D’Angelo in a Fatal Four-Way Match. While D’Angelo has had his eye on the NXT Championship since completing his goal of taking out DarkState for sidelining him with an injury several months ago, tensions have been on the rise between allies Saints and Page over the last several weeks as they’ve been vying for a shot at the NXT Championship they both once held.

Lola Vice and WrenQCC member Kendal Grey will both be challenging Jacy Jayne of Fatal Influence for the NXT Women’s Championship in a Triple Threat Match. While Vice and Grey both looked to become the new Number One Contender on this past Tuesday’s episode of “NXT”, the match ultimately didn’t end up having a winner as Grey tapped out to a hold that Vice had cinched in on her while she had pinned Vice at the same time and officials could not come to a unanimous decision.

Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes of Vanity Project will be putting the NXT Tag Team Championship on the line for the first time on television since dethroning DarkState’s Saquon Shugars and Osiris Griffin on the February 24 episode of “NXT” as they defend against Los Americanos’ Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano. Although they weren’t originally slated to compete in the NXT Tag Team Championship Number One Contenders Tournament, Rayo and Bravo stepped in after Sean Legacy was medically unable to compete. The duo went onto defeat The Culling in a First Round Match on the March 24 episode of “NXT” and Birth Right’s Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Uriah Connors in a finals match this past Tuesday on “NXT”.

Myles Borne will be putting the North American Championship on the line against “SmackDown” star Johnny Gargano in what will mark Gargano’s first time competing on an “NXT” Premium Live Event since defeating Grayson Waller in an Unsanctioned Match at Stand & Deliver on April 1, 2023. Although Gargano wasn’t shown to be the most energetic, he emerged victorious in a Number One Contenders Eliminator Gauntlet Match against Shiloh Hill, Jackson Drake, Dion Lennox, and Charlie Dempsey on March 24 by last eliminating Hill after Hill had sent everyone else to the back.

After retaining her title against former friend turned archrival Izzi Dame in a Steel Cage Match on the March 17 episode of “NXT”, Tatum Paxley will be putting her Women’s North American Championship on the line as she defends against Blake Monroe. Monroe has been looking to get back the Women’s North American Championship since Thea Hail unexpectedly dethroned her on the February 16 episode of “NXT”.

Sol Ruca and Zaria may have been very close friends at one point, but Zaria turned her back on Ruca to cost her a NXT Women’s Championship to the aforementioned Jayne on the February 24 episode of “NXT”. Ruca returned the favor on the March 3 when she cost Zaria a title shot of her own, and the pair most recently came face-to-face with one another on March 24 in a verbal confrontation where Ruca expressed her confusion at Zaria betraying her while Zaria shared that she always felt second to Ruca. Tonight, they look to settle things once and for all when they go head-to-head against one another.

Additionally, Birth Right’s Arianna Grace, the aforementioned Stacks, the aforementioned Connors, Charlie Dempsey, and Lexis King will be taking on Wren Sinclair, Shiloh Hill, EK Prosper (formerly known as Eli Knight), Tank Ledger, and Hank Walker in a Mixed 10 Person Tag Team Match on the Countdown to Stand & Deliver Pre-Show beginning at 6 PM ET.

We are live! Vic Joseph and Booker T greet audiences at home as Wren Sinclair, Shiloh Hill, EK Prosper, Tank Ledger, and Hank Walker make their way to the ring. Birth Right follow.

Backstage Report On Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling’s New TV Deal

It was announced earlier in the week that Scott D’Amore’s Maple Leaf Pro Wrestling announced a TV deal with one of the leading sports stations in Canada, TSN. Not much was immediately made available about the deal, but Dave Meltzer did provide some new information in the latest edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

According to Meltzer, in addition to the confirmation that MLP’s show will be a one-hour program aired on a week night that will debut in July, it will also air in a regular, consistent time slot. Meltzer reported that the show will not be preempted, as TSN has five different channels. He said there are plenty of timeslots the company could utilize to avoid “AEW Dynamite,” “WWE NXT,” and “TNA iMPACT” throughout the week.

He wrote he believes that the 10-11 p.m. timeslot on Wednesday would make the most sense, as the show would get the benefit of a “Dynamite” lead-in. Meltzer noted that the promotions would be working together for a while, at least, as AEW President Tony Khan went to the March 27 tapings. Ring of Honor and Maple Leaf Pro previously announced their partnership for a Global Wars event, which then took place on the 27th in ROH’s usual timeslot.

Reports of MLP’s television deal first emerged back in October when PWInsider reported there were meetings held in Canada between networks to determine what station would host MLP. At the time, it was reported MLP’s weekly programming would have a centralized broadcast in Canada, despite the promotion’s pay-per-view events being available beyond the country’s border.
