The period of the year between Royal Rumble and WrestleMania is frequently referred to as a road. There used to be a Roadblock on that road on the main roster, but it has since been moved to NXT. WWE's third brand hits that Roadblock next week as it inches closer to Stand & Deliver, its own big event that will be taking place at some point during WrestleMania week.
While Stand & Deliver will likely be an NXT premium live event, Roadblock will be a themed edition of the brand's weekly show. Roadblock will go down on Tuesday, March 7, 2023, starting at 8 pm EST. Since it will be airing live in the same slot NXT does every week, you'll be able to watch it on the USA Network in the US, and whatever channel or service you watch it through in your part of the world. Everything announced for the Roadblock card so far can be found below.
RELATED: NXT Fans Dispute Reports Negative Reactions To Bron Breakker Have Been Staged
Roxanne Perez vs. Meiko Satomura for the NXT Women's Championship
Roxanne Perez won the NXT Women's Title earlier than planned and it has shown. Her defense against the ruins of Toxic Attraction was a good way to showcase her as a champion, but this showdown at Roadblock against Meiko Satomura will give many fans their first real chance to see just how good Perez really is.
All things considered, there's very little chance Perez loses here. She's going to be champion for a while and Satomura probably won't be featured all that heavily on NXT moving forward. A terrific match, but a predictable winner.
Jacy Jayne vs. Gigi Dolin
Speaking of Jacy Jayne and Gigi Dolin, as expected, the pair got in each other's way when trying to become Women's Champion at the same time and that has massively blown up their relationship since. These two obviously know each other very well, so this has the potential to be the best match of the night.
Picking a winner in this one is tricky as it's still hard to determine which of the two WWE has higher hopes for. Dolin cut a hell of a promo during the final episode of NXT before Roadblock, but Jayne has also been showcased well. A great match with Dolin probably picking up the win.
Bron Breakker and The Creed Brothers vs. Indus Sher
Bron Breakker will have the luxury of not having to defend the NXT Championship at Roadblock. He did want to have a match though, offering his services to The Creed Brothers for the night so they can go three-on-three with Indus Sher.
Breakker has issues with the group, of course, after recently defending the NXT Title against its leader, Jinder Mahal. A pin on a Creed Brother for an Indus Sher win seems likely in this one, perhaps with Carmelo Hayes taking Breakker out of the equation to set up a title match at Stand & Deliver.
Dijak vs. Tony D'Angelo in a Jailhouse Street Fight
With neither Dijak nor Tony D'Angelo winning the North American Title and getting an NXT Title shot anytime soon, the pair have turned on each other. Things have been heating up between the two and will come to a head in a Jailhouse Street Fight at Roadblock.
This is another one where it's hard to determine in which direction each of these Superstars is headed, so it's hard to pick a winner. Dijak needs a big win, but WWE feels like it has been high on D'Angelo for a while now. Dijak to win this one simply because he's newer to the brand. Well, sort of.
Andre Chase vs. Joe Gacy
Andre Chase and Chase U was not a gimmick I ever imagined getting over, but here we are. Pitting the peppy group against the dark Schism has been a terrific idea, and seeing Chase clash with Joe Gacy with the various members of both factions around ringside will be pretty great.
While I really want Chase to win, and I can see it happening, I've got a feeling Gacy will pick up the victory in this one. Probably due to Duke Hudson playing a part in Chase's downfall. I still don't trust him as part of the university's group and there's likely a turn coming.
