After his win over WrestleMania weekend, Grimes said that he was able to make good on his promise to his father. Before his passing, Grimes promised his father that he would win a title in NXT and become a WWE Superstar.
During an exchange of words between the two superstars, Sikoa dropped a Bloodline reference, saying that his bloodline is used to winning championships. It should be noted that Sikoa is the brother of current SmackDown Tag Team Champions, The Usos.
NXT has many title matches set up for the weeks following after Stand & Deliver
The theme of the developmental brand since Saturday's Stand & Deliver show has been title matches and rematches. Bron Breakker regained his title on RAW and then successfully defended it against GUNTHER. Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne also reclaimed their titles on the latest episode.
Grimes will defend the North American title next week. MSK will also defend the tag team titles next week against Sanga and Grayson Waller. Mandy Rose will defend her title against Dakota Kai.
