NXT Stand & Deliver’s championship picture just got more complicated. Following Tony D’Angelo’s attack on NXT Champion Joe Hendry, Ricky Saints, and Ethan Page on this week’s NXT, Bodyslam reports that WWE sources indicate Hendry is now set to defend the NXT Championship against Saints, Page, and D’Angelo in a Fatal Four-Way match at Stand & Deliver on April 4 in St. Louis.
The fallout from Tuesday’s show set the stage directly — after D’Angelo’s attack, Saints and Page barged into Interim General Manager Robert Stone’s office, where Page proposed a singles match between Saints and D’Angelo for next week. Stone made it official, setting up a match that will further develop the tension heading into Stand & Deliver.

The report notes that friction between Saints and Page is expected to escalate in the weeks leading up to Stand & Deliver. D’Angelo’s motivation for returning to NXT also remains a storyline thread, having previously beaten Dion Lennox at Vengeance Day. Hendry retained the NXT title at that same event against Saints despite Ethan Page’s interference — making the three-way dynamic between Saints, Page, and now D’Angelo a loaded one heading into the fatal four-way in St. Louis.
