Nita Strauss' most recent WWE appearance came during Night One of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver on USA Network. Strauss opened the show by playing the American National Anthem on her guitar.

Strauss discussed how great it was to perform in front of a crowd once again and shared her experience of WrestleMania week with WWE:

"It was incredible, it's been a crazy year and a half with the pandemic of course, everyone's life's completely turned upside down and it was amazing to just get out there and perform for anybody not even counting the fact it's my WWE family, getting to perform at NXT for the first time. I've had song used for NXT TakeOver, but I've only ever performed at WWE events. So, it was just an amazing experience to finally get to be there in the building with NXT and perform for a crowd, you know it's 200 people but it was like a loud 200 people, it felt like 20,000 people. It was just an incredible experience then to get to stay for the rest of TakeOver and Mania was absolutely awesome"

WWE has since revealed that NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver was the most-watched NXT TakeOver event in WWE history.
