Tony D’Angelo is the new NXT Champion after a chaotic and hard-hitting Fatal 4-Way Match at NXT Stand & Deliver 2026. D’Angelo defeated Joe Hendry, Ricky Saints, and Ethan Page to secure his first reign with the title.
The match opened at a fast pace as Page and Saints immediately targeted Hendry before shifting their focus to D’Angelo. Hendry fought back with strong strikes, while D’Angelo used his power to keep both opponents in check. The action quickly broke down into multiple exchanges, with all four men trading heavy offense inside and outside the ring.
Hendry showed early control with suplexes and near falls, but Page and Saints worked together to slow him down. Their brief alliance included double-team moves and quick pin attempts, though it did not last long as both men argued over who would take control. That hesitation allowed D’Angelo to re-enter the match and swing momentum back in his favor.
The pace remained high as each competitor delivered key moves. A PowerPlex combination from Page and Saints nearly ended the match, but Hendry kicked out. D’Angelo answered with a series of suplexes and power moves, while Hendry continued to rely on his striking and signature offense to stay in contention.
The match spilled to the outside, where Page and Saints set up the steel steps near the announce table. Saints drove D’Angelo into the floor with a tornado DDT, and Page followed with Twisted Grin. Moments later, Hendry wiped them out with a leaping back senton, keeping the match wide open.
The closing moments saw multiple near falls and weapon use. Saints introduced a steel chair and struck Hendry, but could not secure the win. Page and Saints continued to fight among themselves, which led to a major turning point. As they attempted a big move from the steel steps, D’Angelo charged in and speared both men off the steps and through the announce table.
Back in the ring, Hendry attempted to finish D’Angelo with Standing Ovation, but D’Angelo countered. He delivered a spear followed by a chokeslam to score the three-count and win the championship.
This victory marks the first NXT Championship reign for D’Angelo, who joined NXT in 2021 during the NXT 2.0 era. Hendry’s title run comes to an end after 61 days, during which he recorded two successful defenses.
