WWE NXT Roadblock Results, Winners, Live Grades, Reaction, Highlights Ahead of Stand & Deliver 2026

From the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York City, the March 31 edition of NXT featured Roadblock, a major buildup event for Stand & Deliver.

Lola Vice and Kendal Grey collided in a match to decide the No. 1 contender for the NXT Women's Championship, with the winner going on to face Jacy Jayne on Saturday.

Los Americanos took on The Birthright for an NXT Tag Team Championships shot. TNA world champion Mike Santana made a special appearance to back up OTM in a six-man tag team contest.

What would NXT deliver in The Garden to build hype for Stand & Deliver on Saturday?

DarkState vs. Mike Santana and OTM

Last Time in Action: Dion Lennox, Osiris Griffin and Saquon Shugars alongside Cutler James lost to Joe Hendry, Je'Von Evans, Leon Slater and Myles Borne (NXT, December 2). This was the first time Bronco Nima, Lucien Price and Mike Santana have teamed up as a trio.

OTM and Santana looked like a dominant trio in their first action together, though it was especially the TNA world champion that was flying around the ring.

While a Frog Splash in honor of Eddie Guerrero could not seal the win for Santana, Spin the Block and Out the Mud on Shugars sealed the crowd-pleasing victory.

This was a good match, mainly carried by the TNA world champion and his fan support. He could have been fighting anyone in this moment and had a fully invested audience.

OTM did look good as well, though it came somewhat at the expense of DarkState.

A once-well-established heel stable, DarkState lacks the edge that initially made them feel special.

Perhaps this loss will fuel them to get more brutal with OTM in the future, but for now, DarkState looked like chumps that got out-wrestled by a first-time trio.

Result

Nima, Price and Santana def. Shugars, Lennox and Griffin by pinfall.

Grade

B

Notable Moments and Observations

Santana was clearly the biggest star in this match, especially for fan support.

Fans gave a "Ref, you suck!" chant after he had the audacity to not count faster on the pin after Santana's Frog Splash.

Price's power was on display in this match, throwing every member of DarkState with relative ease.

After the win, NXT went right to a Vic Joseph interview with Myles Borne, who thanks NQCC and Ethan Page for making him a champion. Johnny Gargano arrived to warn the North American champion that he needed this win.

Later backstage, Lennox raged and promised to make sure no one was safe at Stand & Deliver.

NXT Tag Team Championships No. 1 Contender Tournament: The Birth Right vs. Los Americanos

The Birth Right fell short in a major bid for a golden opportunity at Stand & Deliver.

Last Time in Action: Rayo Americano and Bravo Americano defeated The Culling (NXT, March 24); Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Uriah Connors defeated Hank Walker and Tank Ledger (NXT, March 17). Both were semifinals matches in the NXT Tag Team Championships No. 1 Contender Tournament.

Los Americanos immediately pushed the pace against The Birth Right, flying around in and out of the ring.

Arianna Grace and Lexis King got involved to set up a Stacks comeback, nearly picking up the win with Cement Shoes.

Shiloh Hill arrived to run off Grace, King and Charlie Dempsey, forcing the heels to fight fair against the luchadors.

Connors saved Stacks after a Hurricanrana into a Diving Splash from Los Americanos. Bravo barely kicked out of a Senton Bomb from Connors then El Grande Americano arrived to distract the referee.

Los Americanos loaded up the mask of Bravo with a metal plate and hit a Running Headbutt for the victory.

Result

Bravo and Rayo def. Connors and Stacks by pinfall to earn an NXT Tag Team Championships match at Stand & Deliver.

Grade

B+

Notable Moments and Observations

All of The Birth Right arrived to back up Stacks and Connors. Los Americanos jumped onto everyone during the heel entrance.

Lorenzo got distracted by Grace and took a Baseball Slide from Bravo, who took his place dancing until the TNA KO champ realized he was not Stacks.

The Vanity Project jaw-jacked with Los Americanos from the crowd after the result.

Kelani Jordan vs. Jaida Parker

Jaida Parker picked up a big win in The Garden.

Last Time in Action: Kelani Jordan defeated Thea Hail (NXT, March 24); Jaida Parker lost to Blake Monroe (NXT Vengance Day, March 7).

This started chippy and only got more physical, especially as Jordan took shots at the injured left arm of Jaida.

Miss Parker fought back by countering the One of a Kind followed by a German Superplex, Hipnotic and Deja Vu for the victory.

Something about this match never clicked despite the talent involved. Jordan and Jaida tried to sell a hard-hitting style that did not suit their usually explosive offense.

Jaida was a crowd favorite throughout while Jordan seemed miscast as the aggressive heel, not keeping the pressure on in this contest.

For the second week in a row, Jordan was in a rushed match that did not fully sell the winner.

It is hard call who was the right woman to win as both were looking for a rebound, but the crowd was certainly pleased to Miss Parker pull it out.

Result

Parker def. Jordan by pinfall.

Grade

C+

Notable Moments and Observations

The crowd quickly established their loyalty to "Miss Parker".

The Vanity Project found Blake Monroe backstage, offering her back-up against Tatum Paxley, but The Glamour promised she was not threatened by Paxley.

The Contract Signing for the NXT Championship Fatal 4-Way

Joe Hendry, "All Ego" Ethan Page and Ricky Saints all spoke their piece ahead of their Fatal 4-Way alongside Tony D'Angelo at Stand & Deliver.

General Manager Robert Stone facilitated the contract signing for the NXT Championship.

Joe Hendry, Ricky Saints, "All Ego" Ethan Page and Tony D'Angelo signed the contract, in that order.

Afterward, the former Don warned Stone to get out of the ring before a brawl broke out. Page and D'Angelo put Saints and Hendry through the tables and fought until security flooded in.

Whatever this segment was supposed to accomplish, it mostly just existed. Hendry delivered the loudest babyface speech while the heels taunted.

D'Angelo gave the most effective response to the champion, though the crowd showed no respect to anyone but the NXT champion.

Because of the crowd response and the basic follow-up, this segment will be forgotten by next week.

Grade

D

Notable Moments and Observations

This crowd tried wrestling's most idiotic trope, the "What?" chant, multiple times, and the talent talked through it.

Saints and Page promised to be on the same page at Stand & Deliver but still threw verbal barbs at one another after signing the contract.

Jasper Troy vs. Keanu Carver (Special Guest Referee: Josh Briggs)

Keanu Carver continued to build momentum in NXT.

Last Time in Action: Jasper Troy lost to Eli Knight and Sean Legacy (NXT, March 10); Keanu Carver defeated Sean Legacy (NXT, February 24).

Josh Briggs let Carver and Troy brawl with Troy's chains before calling for the official bell.

The brawl continued around the ring where Carver threatened a fan and Booker T. Troy made him pay by sending him through the announce table.

He hit a Black Hole Slam in the ring but only got two. When Troy questioned Briggs' count, the referee laid him out with a Big Boot, setting up Carver to hit a Running Powerslam to win.

Afterward, Carver demanded Briggs raise his hand. While he did, Briggs followed up with a Clothesline From Hell.

This turned into more of an extended segment than a full match where it became clear quickly that these three big men are preparing for a Triple Threat collision.

Briggs needed this spot, and Carver picked up a nice win to continue his own quick ascent. Troy lost nothing from the chaotic loss.

It is just a shame that they did not get more time.

Result

Carver def. Troy by pinfall.

Grade

B-

Notable Moments and Observations

Booker T tried to sell that he was not feuding with Carver but also was not happy with Carver winning.

Backstage, Elio LeFleur announced he would be out for six months and was vacating the Men's Speed Championship. Shiloh Hill arrived to attempt to lighten the mood and came up with an idea for a match before running off.

Stone later announced that The Birth Right would fight Hill, Eli Knight, Hank and Tank and Wren Sinclair on the Stand & Deliver Countdown.

After his announcement, Stone was confronted by an angry Carver before he was pulled away from a continued brawl between Jaida Parker and Kelani Jordan backstage.

Tatum Paxley and Blake Monroe Agreed to Fight at Stand & Deliver

Tatum Paxley called out Blake Monroe and spoke to her with understanding of her unique delusion.

The Women's North American champion wanted to face The Glamour at Stand & Deliver for her title, and Monroe was interested.

However, The Glamour refused to give up the gold she did not earn and was laid out again ahead of the NXT Premium Live Event.

This was one of the better segments from Monroe so far in NXT and proved that she and Paxley should be rivals well past Stand & Deliver.

Their characters work well together, and the two have not had nearly enough time to explore it.

Grade

B+

Notable Moments and Observations

Monroe continued to sell that she "never lost" the title. The crowd disagreed.

As Paxley tried to play to The Glamour's unique mindset, the crowd awkwardly called out the champion as lying, not understanding her point.

"I can be the Goth to your Glamour; I can be the Fire to your Hell." Paxley delivered the line of the night.

NXT showed a dramatic video package, highlighting the year-long collapse of ZaRuca, selling that match better than anything else at Stand & Deliver.

No. 1 Contender for NXT Women's Championship: Lola Vice vs. Kendal Grey

Last Time in Action: Kendal Grey alongside Wren Sinclair defeated Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid (NXT, March 24); Lola Vice defeated Kelani Jordan in NXT Underground (NXT Vengance Day, March 7).

The athleticism of both women was on display early in this contest. Grey ducked and dodged the strikes of Vice until she finally got kicked into the corner.

Grey avoided the Hip Attack but took a Senton to the floor into the last picture-in-picture of the night.

The explosive offense of Grey turned the tide upon the return from commercial, taking down the straps and dodging the Spinning Back Fist in short succession.

Vice locked in a Sleeper Hold. When Grey slipped free, Vice knocked her out of the ring with a spin kick.

Fatal Influence arrived to trash talk both challengers for Jacy Jayne.

Vice nearly won off a second spin kick, catching Grey diving. Grey nearly knocked out Vice with a Spinning Back Elbow but only got two.

Grey caught Vice in an Ankle Lock, but Vice fought through an transitioned into a Guillotine Choke.

With the crowd behind her, Grey rallied into a Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge. As the referee counted three, Grey tapped out, leading to an argument between referees.

Shawn Michaels arrived and tried to smooth things over, leaving an uncertain result for the Stand & Deliver NXT Women's Championship match.

Easily the best and most dramatic match of the night, Grey and Vice had the crowd invested throughout.

It is a shame that NXT decided to go with the simultaneous finish rather than letting one of the two definitively earn their shot at Jayne.

This will likely turn the NXT Women's Championship match into a triple threat on a show where the NXT Championship is already a Fatal 4-Way.

This was the time to decide which babyface is the true star to carry the company forward. The crowd firmly believed in Grey, and her last-second tap-out in the finish diminished some of the fan support for her.

A bad finish though should not distract from how well these two clicked, and NXT should run this back after one of them takes the NXT Women's Championship.

Result

Vice vs. Grey goes to a draw by simultaneous pin/submission. The show went off the air without a No. 1 contender determined.

Grade

B

Notable Moments and Observations

Before the match, Jayne mocked the drama in the women's division in the locker room. Izzi Dame interrupted to promise she was going to show everyone what she was after soon.

While most stars through the night got PIP entrances, both women got full dramatic entrances on air for the main event. It is a shame though that a strong back-and-forth section of the match was in PIP.

Booker T complimented Grey's gear respectfully, noting its similarity to old Harlem Heat gear.

Crowd awoke for Grey's cartwheel strike dodge on the apron, surprisingly taking longer to respond to Vice.

The dueling chants for Grey were overwhelmingly in Kendal's favor.

Overall Show

After promising a definitive outcome, NXT ended with confusion and an unclear NXT Women's Championship match for Stand & Deliver for Jacy Jayne.

In front of a fresh audience, NXT delivered some memorable matches, though it never felt like a show that was quite ready for this spotlight.

The scattershot booking of both a dramatic show and a go-home hype night for Stand & Deliver showed that NXT could have used at least one more week to build its most important show.

Kendal Grey vs. Lola Vice delivered in spades, but the messy finish left confusion with no follow-up on air about one of Stand & Deliver's biggest matches.

Joe Hendry vs. Tony D'Angelo vs. Ricky Saints vs. "All Ego" Ethan Page delivered a flat contract signing that did not sell that as a worthy main event for Stand & Deliver.

The rest of the night was chaotic NXT standard with highs and lows but not enough clarity for Stand & Deliver.

The crowd was also rowdy and disruptive in a way that hurt more than helped the action, but that could at least be a good learning experience for the younger stars.

Overall Grade: B-
