The main event of this week's episode of NXT, a special titled “Roadblock,” featured Carmelo Hayes facing Tony D'Angelo for the right to move to Stand & Deliver early next month in Philadelphia to challenge Ilja Dragunov for the NXT Championship. Hayes brought a group of masked security guards with him, claiming he needed them because D'Angelo would make normal security guards disappear.
From there, the match setup seemed obvious.
Then, at the end of the match, Trick Williams' music played. The four security guards turned and waited for him to approach, but he never arrived. Instead, it was a standard distraction via theme music and Hayes turned back to D'Angelo who was taking care of business to score the pinfall.
Which means Dragunov vs. D'Angelo for the NXT Championship is now official for Show up and deliver.
Perhaps even more important is the fact that it makes it just as clear that we will indeed get the long-awaited Hayes vs. Trick Willy match on this very show. Sure enough, Trick was back and he yelled at Carmelo to close the show.
Here we go!
