In the upcoming WWE Stand & Deliver this weekend, the concluding pair of contenders for the vacant NXT Women’s North American Championship has been established in today’s WWE NXT episode.
The initial qualifier match pitted Lola Vice and Tatum Paxley against each other, both of whom have been missing from the ring for a considerable amount of time with Paxley last playing on NXT on March 25th and Vice on February 25th.
Vice won the match by pinfall thanks to her spinning backfist.

The second qualifying match proceeded in favor of an unexpected comeback by Thea Hail, who claimed victory over Karmen Petrovic via submission. This win lands Hail a ticket to Las Vegas, and her first singles competition since the Great American Bash.
