In-Ring Debut Set For WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2023

An in-ring debut will take place at NXT Stand & Deliver on Saturday, April 1. 

It was revealed during the Tuesday, March 21 edition of NXT that Ava will team with her Schism faction-mates The Dyad and Joe Gacy to face Chase U's Andre Chase, Thea Hail, and Duke Hudson at Stand & Deliver, with control of Chase U on the line. 

The match was announced after the two factions held a "great debate" on NXT, with Chase issuing the challenge after both groups had exchanged verbal barbs. Gacy initially turned down the match but when a tired Duke Hudson offered up the school, Gacy accepted the challenge. 

Ava - the daughter of The Rock - has been a featured member on NXT TV since her debut in October 2022 when she was revealed as the newest member of The Schism. She has been a WWE developmental talent since 2020. 

Also set for NXT Stand & Deliver is a Three-Way for the NXT Tag Team Championships. Gallus will defend the titles against the Creed Brothers and Tony D'Angelo & Stacks. The match came about after a bar fight involving the three teams on NXT. 

Wes Lee has also named three of his four opponents in the Fatal 5-Way for the NXT North American Championship at Stand & Deliver. Lee will defend the gold against Dragon Lee, Ilja Dragunov, and JD McDonagh. Lee has decided to leave the final entrant to fate in a Battle Royal next week. 

Two more entrants also qualified for the NXT Women's Title Ladder Match at Stand & Deliver. Tiffany Stratton defeated Indi Hartwell on NXT, while Lyra Valkyria overcame Ivy Nile. They join Zoey Stark and Gigi Dolin in the match.
