#7 NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver - Pete Dunne vs Kushida

Pete Dunne versus Kushida is one of the matches on the NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver card that doesn't involve a title. However, Dunne and Kushida are two men who have been consistent in their recent pay-per-view outings.

The build-up for this match has been short, having only been announced a week ago. Despite the short build, the rivalry stemmed from a great moment when the two men eliminated each other from the 12-man battle royal. They went over the top rope together, with Dunne trapped in Kushida's Hoverboard Lock.

The two men are set to battle it out to determine who is the best technical wrestler, and it could be a show-stealer.


#6 NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver - Ember Moon and Shotzi Blackheart vs The Way, NXT Women's Tag Team Championship

The women's tag team championship is the newest title created in NXT, following the inaugural women's Dusty Rhodes Classic tournament. Unlike WWE's main roster, NXT appears to be more invested in the women's tag team division, and has built bona-fide teams.

The rivalry between Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon and their challengers The Way has been great to see, with the two pairings being depicted as a threat as NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver draws closer.
