Io Shirai comes storming out to the ring and calls Gonzalez out. The NXT Women's roster immediately comes out to stop things. In the end, Shirai hits a springboard moonsault on to the roster. Can't wait for Stand & Deliver the TakeOver, not the movie!!!

So far we’ve learned @DexterLumis is a #BattleRoyal genius and @austintheory1 is the complete opposite.#WWENXT

JUST ANNOUNCED: @PeteDunneYxB vs. @KUSHIDA_0904 on Next Wednesday's Night 1 of #NXTTakeOver: Stand & Deliver on @USA_Network & @peacockTV!

Lumis stands on the ring apron and Knight goes after him. He misses, but falls out through the middle ropes. He's not eliminated because of this and pulls Lumis down off the ring apron to win.
Result: LA Knight wins Gauntlet Eliminator Battle Royal and will enter Gauntlet last on Night 1 of TakeOver.

Gauntlets always work best when a heel enters last so Knight winning makes sense. Let's watch!

Wade Barrett says he just made about 3 grand from the money Grimes tossed. LOL

Lumis decks him and then tosses him over the top rope. Down to Knight and Lumis.

Grimes pulls out a stack of money to try and bribe LA Knight and Lumis to eliminate themselves.

Lumis finally moves as he, Knight and Grimes team up to eliminate Bronson Reed.

Ruff and Swerves are battling on the top rope. Reed comes over and puts them both on his shoulders and tosses out Ruff and then Swerve in that order. Knight immediately attacks Reed after the eliminations.

.@PeteDunneYxB & @KUSHIDA_0904 are in a different match right now. 🤩 #BattleRoyal #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/6kLySTQcg7

Apparently Johnny Gargs has come out to the ring to commentate!

Back from the break and Knight has joined Lumis in the corner doing nothing. But he does it louder than Lumis.

Lumis hasn't even moved in the corner.

We are down to the final 6 with LA Knight, Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, Leon Ruff, Dexter Lumis and Swerve.

Dunne and Kushida square off and offer up a taste of best technical wrestler. They eliminate each other as Kushida has the Hoverboard Lock on Dunne as they spill over the rope.

Bronson Reed butt-checks Austin Theory out of the match, his feet catch the ropes but let go. He's not eliminated, but has the bright idea to kip up. Theory eliminated.

Tyler Rust gets tossed over the top of Swerve by Ruff. Dexter Lumis stares on.

Swerve eliminates Jake Atlas after Malcolm Bivens distracts him.

Back from the break, Dunne is the last to enter and everyone pairs off.

Next Wednesday on Night 1 of #NXTTakeOver: Stand & Deliver:
⭐@shirai_io vs. @RaquelWWE #WWENXT #WomensTitle Match
⭐@WalterAUT vs. @NXTCiampa #NXTUK Title Match

Out first is a man who needs a serious push up the card, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott. Before he gets in the ring, Leon Ruff blindsides him.

We get the rules for the Super Awesome Gauntlet Eliminator Qualifying Battle Royal. Good luck following them cuz I'm not going to list them here.

Finn Balor cuts a promo saying he will also win at Stand & Deliver.

Here we go with the battle royal with 754 people where 73 get to go to Stand & Deliver!!!!

How are we gonna wait that long? Franky stole our heart. 🐶 💗 #WWENXT pic.twitter.com/MIlIjyG1V0

Back from the break and we get Papa Ciampa talking about WALTER. He says he got that necklace form his wife and baby girl prior to his neck surgery. He's gonna chop WALTER'S damn head off.

This brawl does not, and will not, end. 👀 #WWENXT @RaquelWWE @shirai_io pic.twitter.com/UvGkbfHIDX

We then get a shot of the cute lil pup and a person wearing some fashionable boots. A message reading "See You April 13th" runs across the screen. It's signed by Franky, so I/Sportskeeda/Taya fans are hoping that is only the dog's name.

After the match, McKenzie Mitchell, wearing her finest white linens, attempts to interview Raquel Gonzalez again. Before she gets out a few words, Shirai literally jumps on her back and the ongoing fight continues. Gonzalez throws her through a wall backstage!!! She screams "STAY DOWN!!!!"

Back to the ring and Kacy hits a kick. She goes for another move but Li hits a hard strike and then a spinning kick for the win.
Result: Tian Sha (Xia Li mostly) defeats Kacy/Kayden by pin.
Ying also breathed some smoke into Carter's face, so that happened.

Xia Li is tossed outside the ring but gets control. She throws Kacy back into the ring and gets a suplex reversed into a two count. Kacy hits a spinning codebreaker. Both women are on the floor and Kayden walks up the ramp trash talking Mei Ying. Ying chokes Carter out in five seconds.

Kacy and Kayden have control early on as the friends make quick tags.

We get the swordplay display from Xia Li as she enters the ring. The bell rings and it's two on one, until the master somehow teleports to the ring I'm guessing.

.@KacyCatanzaro returns to action as she teams up with @wwekayden to battle @FearTianSha NEXT on #WWENXT on @USA_Network! pic.twitter.com/NHr7jrlsnG

Up next is Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter vs. Tian Sha. First match for the leader?

Gigi Dolin's partner's name was Zayda Ramier, a name I most certainly knew I'd mix up until I saw it printed.

This video package looks like they're being interrogated for breaking TUE up.

Up next is a video package or Prime Target for Mr. Bay Bay and Faux-Hawk O'Reilly.

Kushida gets a few words out before he is interrupted by Peter Doone.
