6 Ups & 2 Downs From WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2024

Downs...

2. Meta-Four’s Skits

WWE NXT Stand & Deliver 2024 Meta Four

Noam Dar's crew hosted the night, but their segments actually served to get in the way of Stand & Deliver more than helping it. Being fair, the hosting gig WWE tries on is naff to begin with. However, each segment Meta-Four appeared in got increasingly more tedious than the last.

The group has personality, so let's blame WWE's weak material here. Having the group sport Dallas Cowboys shirts and get shoved out of the way by Goldbe...sorry, Oba Femi was certainly a choice. That also collided with Meta-Four doing the babyface bit later by announcing a record-breaking NXT attendance in Philadelphia.

Maybe those Eagles fans will forgive the Dallas thing, eh?

In future, Shawn Michaels and Triple H should rethink the guest host idea. It just doesn't really work - skits add sod all to the show they're featured on, and it's clear the live crowd can barely hear what's being said on the trons anyway. Yep, give this a wide berth next time, please.
