Sexyy Red Set for WWE NXT Stand & Deliver in St. Louis – Who Asked For This?
The road to wrestling’s biggest weekend is heating up, and WWE is pulling out all the stops to make sure all eyes are on the squared circle. NXT Stand & Deliver is officially bringing some heavy-hitting mainstream star power to St. Louis on April 4. Chart-topping rapper Sexyy Red is slated to make a live appearance at the premium live event, setting the stage for an electric atmosphere in her hometown.
WWE is laying the groundwork early, scheduling the hip-hop star for an on-camera segment during the March 24 episode of NXT. This broadcast will broadcast directly from the WWE Performance Center and serve as the critical launchpad for the St. Louis card.
The upcoming television taping carries massive championship implications. Fans tuning in to see the “celebrity” guest will also witness a high-stakes Gauntlet Eliminator. This grueling match format will ultimately crown the number one contender for Myles Borne’s coveted NXT North American Championship.
Who Asked For This And Why Bring Sexyy Red Back After The Last Time?
Yes, because this worked out the last time you brought this untalented trainwreck to your NXT shows. Like what the hell is WWE doing here, because nobody asked for Sexxy Red to even return to WWE. In fact, the last time she was involved with a WWE show, she came off so poorly, and it was get off my TV bad. Not only with the cringe on screen, but the controversy off of it.
Not a few hours before she was about to host the NXT Battleground show, Sexyy Red got arrested for disorderly conduct at Newark Liberty International Airport. She luckily was able to get out and do the show, but WWE got in a bad PR situation when the news came out. Especially when the footage came out.
Yes, let’s bring this person back after we got in hot water for bringing her on after getting arrested, not one day previous to a big NXT show.
WWE has had a long history of bringing celebrities onto its shows. Honestly its why the first WrestleMania show really worked due to the involvement of Cyndi Lauper and Mr.T. Pro wrestling promotions keep doing this to bring in the casual viewer to watch their product and to grow the audience. However, she has had a bad reputation since the last time she was used and added nothing to the show. Why bring her back?
The Hometown Advantage in St. Louis
NXT Stand & Deliver, taking place in St. Louis on April 4, adds a massive layer of local pride to the event. The city has a rich professional wrestling heritage and boasts some of the loudest crowds in the country. Putting a hometown superstar on the marquee is a guaranteed way to drive local ticket demand and create a deafening crowd reaction.
Expect WWE to lean heavily into this local connection and with Sexxy Red being born in St. Louis on paper in WWE mind, it makes sense. Mainstream cross-promotion across regional radio and local television will likely ramp up, pushing the narrative of a hometown hero returning to the biggest stage in sports entertainment.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is Sexyy Red confirmed for Stand & Deliver?
Unfortunately, Yes. WWE has officially advertised her as a live presence for both the April 4 NXT Stand & Deliver event and the preceding March 24 episode of NXT.
Will she be involved in matches?
I hope not. Based on WWE’s current billing, she will have a non-wrestling, on-camera role. You can expect her to be featured in a segment or at ringside, rather than competing in an actual in-ring match.
When Did She Last Appear On WWE?
On June 9, 2024, she hosted the 2024 NXT Battleground PLE.
The Final Push to April 4
NXT is firing on all cylinders as the calendar flips toward April. Combining a grueling Gauntlet Eliminator with a high-profile hometown appearance creates a potent mix of athletic drama and entertainment value. Fans should keep a close eye on the March 24 broadcast to see exactly how the North American Championship picture shakes out, not how WWE decides to deploy their “celebrity” guest.
