If you’re planning to catch NXT Stand & Deliver live on WrestleMania Saturday, here’s your official wake-up call: set your alarms, slam that coffee, and forget sleeping in. Because this year’s Premium Live Event is kicking off at a time most wrestlers are still icing their knees—10:00 AM Pacific.
That’s right, folks. WWE is giving NXT the early bird special on April 19 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, just hours before WrestleMania 41 tears the roof off Allegiant Stadium across town.
Originally penciled in for a 1PM PT/4PM ET start, the schedule got dropkicked into the morning thanks to WrestleMania 41’s matinee ambitions, which are looking to begin by 3:30 PM local time, with the official show launching at 4 PM PT (that’s 7 PM ET for everyone still in their pajamas).
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter (aka Meltzer’s Gospel), the shuffle was a logistical no-brainer. Even the most die-hard fan would need a teleportation device to do both shows if Stand & Deliver ran any later.
So now it’s a double-header for the caffeine crowd:
☕ Stand & Deliver at 10 AM PT
🔥 WrestleMania 41 later that same day
As for matches? None announced yet. But if you’ve been watching NXT on The CW every Tuesday—and if you haven’t, you’ve missed at least four brawls that started in catering—you’ll see the card shape up in the next few weeks.
Since 2021, Stand & Deliver has become a WrestleMania Weekend tradition, evolving from a two-night TakeOver into the high-octane brunch buffet of bangers we know and love today. It went full Saturday-afternoon slot in 2022, and now it’s breaking new ground: wrestling before brunch.
If you’re in Vegas that weekend, bring snacks, pace yourself, and consider a nap between shows. Or don’t—who needs sleep when wrestling never does?
