A new participant has been confirmed for tonight’s number one contender’s gauntlet eliminator match on WWE NXT.

Myles Borne’s NXT North American Championship challenger for NXT Stand & Deliver will be determined by a gauntlet match on tonight’s show. Jackson Drake, Dion Lennox, and Shiloh Hill had already been confirmed for the match. WWE has now announced that Charlie Dempsey will be competing in the bout as well.

In his video announcing the news, interim NXT general manager Robert Stone teased that a fifth competitor for the gauntlet match has also been finalized. Stone teased that viewers will need to tune into tonight’s show to see who that is.

Dempsey — the son of William Regal — is a new addition to NXT’s Birth Right faction, which also includes Lexis King, Arianna Grace, Stacks, and Uriah Connors. A pair of Heritage Cup Championship reigns are the only gold Dempsey has held in his WWE career so far.

Borne became North American Champion last month when he ended Ethan Page’s reign with the belt.

NXT Stand & Deliver 2026 is being held in St. Louis on April 4. Tonight’s NXT is the second-to-last episode before the PLE.
