Carmelo Hayes finally achieved the impossible as he defeated Bron Breakker to win the NXT Championship at NXT Stand & Deliver in Los Angeles, CA.
The finish saw Hayes counter Breakker’s gorilla press into a codebreaker, followed by Hayes going up top for the Nothing But Net, leading to the pinfall victory.
The match marks the end of Breakker’s 362-day reign as NXT Champion, as he won the gold back on April 4, 2022.
