#9 NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver - Johnny Gargano vs. Gauntlet Eliminator winner for the NXT North American Championship

The challenger for the North American Championship at NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver will be determined on night one of the pay-per-view. The winner will go head-to-head with Johnny Gargano on night two, with the title on the line.

It's hard to build towards a match when the challenger is still unknown. However, Gargano is a star who has had stand-out matches at a lot of NXT TakeOver events, so the expectations for the three-time North American Champion are always high.


#8 NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver - Six-man Gauntlet Eliminator match (winner will face Johnny Gargano for the North American Championship)

Something that NXT always delivers on are their number-one contender matches. Some of the most memorable moments from the Black and Gold Brand over the years have been from their multi-competitor matches.

On night one of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver, six men will battle it out for a shot at the North American Championship on night two. Former champion Leon Ruff will be involved along with Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, Bronson Reed, Cameron Grimes, Gargano's current rival Dexter Lumis and NXT newbie LA Knight.
