Several Titles Change Hands At NXT Stand & Deliver

The gold is gone. Titles are one of the most important concepts in all of wrestling, as whoever has a title is probably going to be one of the top people in the promotion. It makes sense to give someone a title if you want them moving up the card or take it away if it is time for them to move down a bit. That was the case this week, as several titles changed hands Saturday afternoon.

There were three title changes on Saturday at NXT Stand & Deliver. First up, Dakota Kai and Raquel Gonzalez defeated Toxic Attraction to win the Women’s Tag Team Titles on the Kickoff Show. In the regular show’s opening match, Cameron Grimes won the North American Title from Carmelo Hayes in a five man ladder match also involving Santos Escobar, Solo Sikoa and Grayson Waller. Finally, MSK defeated champions Imperium and the Creed Brothers to become Tag Team Champions for the second time. Women’s Champion Mandy Rose and NXT Champion Dolph Ziggler retained their titles.

Opinion: You can’t say it was an uneventful show and that is a great thing to see on something like this. NXT has come a long way since its relaunch and while it still has a long way to go, this was a big event in changing things up even more. I’m not sure where the new champions go from here, but at least we should be able to see some more from them starting soon.

Which title change means the most? Which was the biggest surprise? Let us know in the comments below.
