In addition to Page’s mutual misfortune at “NXT” Stand & Deliver, Saints noted that he was pleased to hear the show’s glowing reactions, both backstage and amongst the live audience in St. Louis.

“I saw [NXT head booker] Shawn [Michaels] in passing, especially after the match. He seemed to be very happy with how everything went down in terms of the show. I think everyone in the office was really, really happy with the whole show overall,” Saints said. “I think especially for this being our first Stand & Deliver outside of the Mania weekend, there was a little bit more added pressure. I think there was a little bit more motivation for it being just our day, in that sense. And St. Louis’ crowd was great. I think everybody literally from the opening to the very end, everyone put on a hell of a show. That’s all you can ask for.”

The four-way NXT Championship bout closed the PLE, with D’Angelo emerging victorious after delivering a chokeslam and a spear to Hendry. D’Angelo’s win marked the start of his first reign as NXT Champion, while simultaneously solidifying his status as a Grand Slam Champion of the “NXT” brand. His first test as NXT Champion came during week one of “NXT” Revenge as Page stepped up to challenge him for the title one-on-one.
