Stephanie Vaquer vacated the NXT Women's North American Championship before Stand & Deliver. She had won the title at Vengeance Day 2025, dethroning Fallon Henley. Vaquer was ordered to vacate the title by NXT General Manager, Ava, as she was also the reigning NXT Women's Champion.

Ruca formed a tag team with Zaria in late 2024. The duo has teamed up on multiple occasions, including a win over the reigning WWE Women's United States Champion, Chelsea Green, and Piper Niven. As a result of it, Ruca received a shot at Green's title but was unable to dethrone her.

Ruca and Zaria crossed paths at Stand & Deliver, but eventually, it was the former who walked out with the title.
