NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver

NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver was a 2021 two-part professional wrestling event produced by WWE, held exclusively for wrestlers from the promotion's NXTbrand division. It was the 34th NXT TakeOver event and the inaugural Stand & Deliver, and it was broadcast as a television special on Night 1 and via pay-per-view (PPV) on Night 2, with both nights simulcast on WWE's livestreaming platforms. The event took place during WrestleMania 37 week on Wednesday, April 7, and Thursday, April 8, 2021, from the Capitol Wrestling Center, a bio-secure bubble that was hosted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.

This was WWE's first in-ring event to livestream on Peacock in the United States after the shutdown of the standalone American version of the WWE Network on April 4; at the time, other countries maintained the WWE Network. The first night was simulcast as a special episode of NXT on the USA Network in the United States, making it the only TakeOver to air on television as well as the final NXT broadcast on Wednesdays before moving to Tuesdays on April 13, while the second night was simulcast on traditional PPV. This was the first and only TakeOver, as well as the only major NXT livestreaming event, to be held as a two-night event. While still taking precautions due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, seating capacity was increased and the plexiglass walls that previously separated fans were removed.

The card consisted of 12 matches evenly divided across both nights, including one match on the pre-show for each night. In the main event for Night 1, Raquel González defeated Io Shirai to win the NXT Women's Championship. Other prominent matches included Walter defeating Tommaso Ciampa to retain the NXT United Kingdom Championship and MSK (Wes Lee and Nash Carter) defeated Grizzled Young Veterans (James Drake and Zack Gibson) and Legado Del Fantasma (Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde) to win the vacantNXT Tag Team Championship. Two matches were promoted as main event matches for Night 2. In what was the final match on the card, Kyle O'Reilly defeated Adam Cole in an unsanctioned match. In the penultimate match that was promoted as the other main event match, Karrion Kross defeated Finn Bálor to win the NXT Championship. In another prominent match on the undercard which opened the event, interim championSantos Escobar defeated lineal championJordan Devlin in a ladder match to determine the undisputed NXT Cruiserweight Champion.

While the TakeOver series was discontinued in September, Stand & Deliver continued on, becoming NXT's biggest annual event of the year. It would also continue to be held during WrestleMania week until 2026 when it was held two weeks before WrestleMania 42 that year. This would be the only Stand & Deliver to air as a television special, as well as the only to air on PPV, as it became solely a livestreaming event beginning in 2022 as WWE ceased broadcasting NXT's major events on traditional PPV following WarGames in December.
