Trick Williams and Roxanne Perez came up with victories in big spots at NXT’s Stand & Deliver Saturday afternoon, hours before Night 1 of WrestleMania 40.
Williams’ feud with Carmelo Hayes culminated in a main event match at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia. As soon as Williams walked through the curtain on his way down the stage, it seemed like the 18,000-plus in attendance were in his corner.
It was the first time two Black men appeared in the main event of an NXT premium live event, and they brought the house down.

Hayes quickly went on the offensive with a number of high-flying aerial maneuvers. But Williams countered when Hayes tried to hit his "Nothin’ But Net" finishing move early. Williams then put Hayes on his back with a spinning boot to the face.
After a chair was introduced to the match, Williams didn’t think twice about using it. He took out any frustrations he had with Hayes on his back. The referee took the chair from Williams, opening up Hayes to low-blow Williams when the ref was getting rid of the chair.
Hayes tried to use the chair again, but it was taken away from him. Williams took advantage, bouncing off the ropes and hitting the Flash Knee.
Williams pinned Hayes for the win.
