Also, the NXT Cruiserweight Champion Jordan Devlin and NXT UK Champion Walter make their returns to in-ring action for the NXT brand.\u00a0 Let&#8217;s take a look at the NXT Card.<\/p>\n<h2>Full WWE NXT Card (3\/24\/21)<\/h2>\n<p>Io Shirai &amp; Zoey Stark vs Raquel Gonzalez &amp; Dakota Kai<\/p>\n<p>Bronson Reed vs LA Knight<\/p>\n<p><strong>NXT Women&#8217;s Tag Team Championships<\/strong>: Shotzi Blackheart &amp; Ember Moon vs Robert Stone Brand (Aliyah &amp; Jessi Kamea)<\/p>\n<p>Jordan Devlin vs KUSHIDA<\/p>\n<p>William Regal Announcement regarding NXT Tag Team Championships<\/p>\n<p>William Regal issues consequences to Adam Cole &amp; Kyle O&#8217;Reilly<\/p>\n<p>WALTER vs Drake Maverick<\/p>\n<p>Oney Lorcan vs Karrion Kross<\/p>\n<h2>NXT Women&#8217;s Tag Team Championship Match: Shotzi Blackheart &amp; Ember Moon (c) vs. The Robert Stone Brand (Aliyah &amp; Jessi Kamea) w\/Robert Stone<\/h2>\n<p>Shotzi Blackheart and Ember Moon look to establish themselves as fighting champions, taking on the women that assaulted them in Aliyah and Jessi Kamea. No offense to the challengers, but this match is designed purely to establish the champions further. There is a potential with the Robert Stone Brand in the future; that future will not start with this match. I expect Blackheart and Moon to begin building towards their feud for the upcoming <em>Takeover: Stand and Deliver <\/em>soon.<\/p>\n<h2>Karrion Kross vs. Oney Lorcan<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">TOMORROW NIGHT on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWENXT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#WWENXT<\/a><\/p>\n<p>@ONEYLORCAN gets @WWEKarrionKross one-on-one!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/gSvP4YOcDP\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/gSvP4YOcDP<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/hu3qwm4NA1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/hu3qwm4NA1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE NXT (@WWENXT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1374516733868867587?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Oney Lorcan looks to gain a measure of revenge for his injured partner by taking out Karrion Kross. Sadly for Lorcan, Kross has been on a rampage since his return and seeks to destroy everyone in his path. Lorcan is always a game opponent and puts up more of a fight than most expect him to. However, I expect that to lead to a prolonged beatdown by Kross, allowing Lorcan some time off until his partner is closer to returning.<\/p>\n<h2>Io Shirai &amp; Zoey Stark vs. Raquel Gonzalez &amp; Dakota Kai<\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-87565\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/Io-Shirai-Zoey-Stark-vs-Raquel-Dakota-Kai.jpg\" alt=\"NXT Card Women's Tag Match\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/Io-Shirai-Zoey-Stark-vs-Raquel-Dakota-Kai.jpg 600w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2021\/03\/Io-Shirai-Zoey-Stark-vs-Raquel-Dakota-Kai-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Before they clash at Stand &amp; Deliver, Io Shirai and Raquel Gonzalez will look to gain a mental edge with this tag team bout. At first glance, you would give Gonzalez and her partner Dakota Kai the advantage as they won the first <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2021\/02\/14\/2021-womens-dusty-rhodes-tag-team-classic\/\" target=\"_self\">Women&#8217;s Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic<\/a> and were the first NXT Women&#8217;s Tag Team Champions. One might also still give them the edge as Shirai&#8217;s partner Zoey Stark, though impressive and valiant in her efforts, has come up short against her own partner and Kai. However, I could easily see Kai ultimately costing her team the match and suffering Gonzalez&#8217;s wrath to allow for a true one-on-one title match.<\/p>\n<h2>Jordan Devlin vs. KUSHIDA<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWENXT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#WWENXT<\/a> General Manager <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/RealKingRegal?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@RealKingRegal<\/a> made it official! <\/p>\n<p>NXT Cruiserweight Champion @Jordan_Devlin1 will take on @KUSHIDA_0904 in a non-title bout tomorrow night on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@WWENXT<\/a>!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/unh2IH6jGK\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/unh2IH6jGK<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/a66dadoSVt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/a66dadoSVt<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE NXT (@WWENXT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1374521173061505028?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Being Jordan Devlin&#8217;s return match, one would expect the reigning Cruiserweight Champion to walk away with the victory. However, KUSHIDA has seen his profile rise recently, although a loss to NXT North American Champion <strong>Johnny Gargano<\/strong> in their title match slowed down that momentum. There is little doubt Devlin and Interim champion <strong>Santos Escobar<\/strong> could have an amazing match at the upcoming Takeover, but WWE loves their multi-man matches. I could easily see a KUSHIDA victory leading to him being added to the match.<\/p>\n<h2>WALTER vs. Drake Maverick<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Welp, @WWEMaverick talked himself into a match against <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NXTUK?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#NXTUK<\/a> Champion <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WalterAUT?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@WalterAUT<\/a>&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>And that match takes place TOMORROW NIGHT on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWENXT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#WWENXT<\/a>!<a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/yPPGPiWGI5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/yPPGPiWGI5<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/E4PbPdy21I\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/E4PbPdy21I<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE NXT (@WWENXT) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1374524016891985920?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">March 24, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>This match will mark WALTER&#8217;s dominant return to NXT. While Drake Maverick has also seen a rise in profile, there is too much value built up in Imperium&#8217;s leader. Before Covid, WALTER was heading for a clash with <strong>Finn Balor<\/strong>, and I fully expect WWE to keep him in a similar position. Though it won&#8217;t happen at the next Takeover, Balor will need to face someone after he either defends or loses the title to Kross.<\/p>\n<p><em>Stay tuned to the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\">Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/a>\u00a0for more on this and other stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
