Dave Meltzer Match Ratings NXT Stand & Deliver 2025

Stephanie Vaquer

Dave Meltzer was impressed by the action at NXT Stand & Deliver.

At NXT Stand & Deliver, both of the brand’s top champions walked in and walked out with their championships.

In the main event, Oba Femi saw off Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans in another dominant display, while Stephanie Vaquer kept hold of her Women’s Championship with a win over Giulia, Jordynne Grace, and Jaida Parker.

Following her victory at Stand & Deliver, Stephanie Vaquer made her main roster on Raw 48 hours later. On the show, Vaquer stepped up to challenge Women’s World Champion Iyo Sky to a non-title match; however, it was declared a no-contest before a winner could be decided.

Roxanne Perez attacked Sky, while Giulia went after Vaquer. This brought out Rhea Ripley to make the save before she handed the Women’s World Championship belt to long-time rival Sky.

Elsewhere, Ricky Saints retained the North American Title with a win over Ethan Page, and Sol Ruca claimed the Women’s North American Title in a wild Ladder Match.
