The NXT Womens North American Championship Ladder Match at Stand & Deliver is shaping up to be one of the wildest bouts of the weekendbut Arianna Grace is trying to shut it down before it even starts.
The self-proclaimed NXT/TNA liaison took to social media and posted a video urging officials to cancel the six-woman ladder match entirely. Grace claimed shes concerned for the health and safety of her fellow roster members and said the entire match structure is too dangerous to go forward.
The ladder was invented 10,000 years ago, Grace said in her video. Its outdated and archaic. She even claimed, 1 in 8 ladders spontaneously collapse, a stat she says she found via Googles AI function.
Despite the dramatic appeal, her video quickly went viral for all the wrong reasonswith fans mocking her facts and participants in the match ignoring her completely. As of now, the match is still on.
Meanwhile, the ladder match field is officially set. The April 15 episode of NXT locked in the final competitors: Sol Ruca, Lola Vice, Zaria, Kelani Jordan, Thea Hail (who returned after months away and won with a kimura lock), and Izzi Dame. The winner this Saturday in Las Vegas will become the first-ever NXT Womens North American Champion.
Grace, however, thinks the match should never happen. She even called out Nikkita Lyons in her video, begging her not to support the matchdespite Lyons not being in it.
So far, no one in NXT management has responded to her petition, and none of the women in the match seem remotely interested in backing out.
Was Arianna Grace genuinely concerned, or just trying to get her name into the Stand & Deliver conversation? Should WWE take her safety warning seriouslyor just let the match go on?
