Welcome to Wrestling Inc.'s results of "WWE NXT" on April 4, 2023!

Dragon Lee is set to go head-to-head with Nathan Frazer as he competes in the squared circle for the first time on "NXT" television. Dragon made his in-ring debut this past Saturday at "NXT Stand & Deliver" in a Fatal Five-Way Match for the North American Championship, with him, JD McDonagh, Ilja Dragunov, and Axiom all coming up short to Wes Lee.

Dijak looks to seek some retribution on Odyssey Jones as they collide in the ring in an effort to put their issues to rest. Jones eliminated Dijak from a Twenty-Man Battle Royal last week, subsequently costing him a spot in the North American Championship Fatal Five-Way Match this past Saturday.

Tony D'Angelo and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo collided with Gallus and The Creed Brothers in a match for the "NXT" Tag Team Championship at "Stand & Deliver", but ultimately fell short after Gallus managed to hold onto their title with a little help from a returning Joe Coffey. Tonight, the duo look to redeem themselves as they square off with the hosts of the aforementioned Premium Live Event, Pretty Deadly's Kit Wilson and Elton Prince following a heated exchange on Saturday.

We are live! The show kicks off with a video recapping the events of "Stand & Deliver". Vic Joseph and Booker T then greet audiences at home as Indi Hartwell heads to the ring.

We Hear From Indi Hartwell

Fans chant "you deserve it" before Hartwell says no idea she's waited to hear that. She says it's been a few days since she's become "NXT" Women's Champion, but she still can't believe that it's real. Hartwell says she gave up a long time ago on thinking about what to say when she became titleholder because she never thought that she would be one. She says she doubted herself and holding the title was a pipe dream, but the fans never doubted her once and stood by her. She says fans picked her up when she was down and chanted "Indi Wrestling" when she needed it most, and the outpour of love just makes things that much sweeter. Hartwell acknowledges Roxanne Perez and says if it wasn't for her, there would've never been a ladder match and she wouldn't be standing here. She then says Perez deserves the first title shot.

Zoey Stark's music hits and she heads down to the ring. She says she can't sit in the back and listen to this crap. She says that Hartwell had quite the upset and she has a title once held by future Hall of Famers. She tells Hartwell she is nowhere near their level, and says Perez has been radio silent since losing her title on Saturday. Stark says Perez should be behind her in line to receive a title shot, then demands that she be given one tonight.

Hartwell says she wants to see how beatable she is during the first "NXT" after "Stand & Deliver", then accepts her challenge. Stark says Hartwell just made the biggest mistake of her life and says she will make history tonight as the shortest reigning "NXT" Women's Champion in history.
