For over 150 days, NXT North American Champion Carmelo Hayes has reigned supreme as the self-proclaimed “A Champion.”

After beating challengers such as Roderick Strong, Cameron Grimes and Pete Dunne, Hayes stated that no one could touch him and that he would defend his title the same way it was introduced to NXT: in a Ladder Match.

With qualifying matches scheduled to take place in the leadup to NXT Stand & Deliver, four opponents will vie for the right to enter the daunting match. Santos Escobar was the first Superstar to earn such a spot following his thrilling victory over Cameron Grimes. The following week, Solo Sikoa and Grayson Waller punched their tickets to the Ladder Match in a pair of thrilling qualifying matches before Cameron Grimes battled his way to Dallas winning a Last Chance Triple Threat Match.

Can the “A Champion” maintain his status against four of the best Superstars NXT 2.0 has to offer Saturday at Stand & Deliver?
