WWE NXT is set to hold two major premium live events in early 2026, confirming dates for Vengeance Day and Stand & Deliver. These events, part of the WWE NXT premium live events lineup, will take place at notable venues and continue the brand’s tradition of showcasing top talent ahead of WrestleMania.
Vengeance Day Planned for Early March in Orlando
The next NXT premium live event, Vengeance Day, is slated for Saturday, March 7, 2026, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. This marks a shift from previous years when the event occurred around Valentine’s Day. Last year’s Vengeance Day was held at the CareFirst Arena in Washington, DC, where Stephanie Vaquer claimed the Women’s North American Championship.
Stand & Deliver to Precede WrestleMania 42 Weekend
Stand & Deliver will return as a matinee show on Saturday, April 19, 2026, positioned as a lead-in to the first night of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas. While the specific venue has yet to be announced, last year’s Stand & Deliver took place at the T-Mobile Arena in Paradise, Nevada. This timing continues WWE’s practice of hosting a developmental brand’s premium event just before WrestleMania begins.
Context from Previous Stand & Deliver Events
In 2025, Stand & Deliver was scheduled similarly on the Saturday afternoon before WrestleMania night one. That show featured Stephanie Vaquer retaining the NXT Women’s Championship, Oba Femi holding on to the NXT Championship, and Sol Ruca winning the vacant Women’s North American title in a ladder match. WWE’s ongoing strategy to schedule marquee NXT events prior to WrestleMania underscores the brand’s rising significance within the company’s overall event calendar.
