Pretty Deadly, the pride of the U.K., one of the best tag teams in the world, will add to its impressive resume during WWE WrestleMania Weekend 2023.

Elton Prince and Kit Wilson -- true sports entertainers -- will host NXT Stand & Deliver at 1 p.m. EST Saturday, April 1 via Peacock from the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles, California. Later that day is Night 1 of WrestleMania 39 (WrestleMania Hollywood) from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, California.

The spotlights, the action, the stars, the glitz, the glamour, that’s a perfect fit for Pretty Deadly, and they are ready for NXT Stand & Deliver ... and also WrestleMania, if needed. It’s their first live attended WrestleMania. Awesome.

Before traveling to California, a week prior, members of NXT return to the Havert L. Fenn Center on Friday, March 24 for a fun house show in (South Florida) Fort Pierce (quite the contrast from Hollywood, California). Someone say Waffle House. There’s not 1; there’s 2 nearby. Paying your dues.

WWE NXT will return to the Havert L. Fenn Center on Friday, March 24, 2023 in (South Florida) Fort Pierce.

Here is my video interview with NXT’s Elton Prince and Kit Wilson, collectively known as Pretty Deadly.

They talk hosting NXT Stand & Deliver, WWE WrestleMania, NXT Fort Pierce, New Day, cats & dogs and more.

Pretty Deadly tag champs

Cementing their villainous status, Pretty Deadly defeated Gallus (Mark Coffey and Wolfgang) to capture the NXT UK Tag Team Championship on the February 25, 2021 edition of NXT UK.

They dropped the titles to Moustache Mountain (Trent Seven and Tyler Bate) on the December 9 episode of NXT UK, ending their reign at 287 days.

Then Pretty Deadly treked to the states and climbed the NXT mountain.

In April 2022, they defeated the Creed Brothers in a gauntlet match, also involving Legado Del Fantasma (Raul Mendoza and Joaquin Wilde), Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen, and Grayson Waller and Sanga, to win the vacant NXT Tag Team Championship, making them the first tag team to win the titles on their NXT debut and the second team to hold both the NXT and NXT UK Tag Team Championships.

Prince and Wilson lost the tag titles to the Creed Brothers on June 4, 2022 at NXT In Your House, ending their first reign at 53 days.

They regrouped.

At NXT Worlds Collide on September 4, 2022, Pretty Deadly defeated the Creed Brothers, Gallus, and Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs in a Fatal 4-Way Tag Team Elimination Match to unify the NXT and NXT UK Tag Team Championships.

At NXT Deadline in December, Pretty Deadly dropped the NXT tag team titles to The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods), ending their second reign at 98 days.

Arizona Democrats say they will try again to repeal 1864 abortion ban
Democrats in Arizona's House of Representatives said on Thursday they would try once more to repeal an 1864 ban on abortion that may go into effect next month if not knocked down. The Arizona House Democrats said on social media that they would try to bring for a vote Representative Stephanie Stahl Hamilton's bill that calls for the repeal of the 160-year-old ban. "The decision to get an abortion, or seek any type of reproductive healthcare, belongs in the hands of patients, their families and their providers, not politicians," Democratic Representative Oscar De Los Santos told reporters before Thursday's session began.

Jury sides with school system in suit accusing it of ignoring middle-schooler's sex assault claims
A jury on Wednesday rejected a woman's lawsuit seeking tens of millions of dollars from Virginia's largest school system over allegations that she was raped multiple times as a middle schooler. The woman, who was identified in court papers only by her initials, sued Fairfax County Public Schools under Title IX, a law that guarantees girls and women equal educational access. The lawsuit alleged school officials at Rachel Carson Middle School in Reston ignored her complaints that she endured sexual harassment and sexual assaults inside and outside of the school back in 2011 and 2012, when she was a seventh-grader.

The provisions were announced on Wednesday, a day after Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba suspended consular services for military-age males until May 18 and criticised those abroad for failing to serve in the 26-month-old war against Russia. The latest government decision stipulated that passports for foreign travel for men aged 18 to 60 could only be issued inside Ukraine. "Such passports are not sent to a separate subdivision or a foreign diplomatic mission of Ukraine for the purpose of organising their issue," the text read.

Delhi survives Rashid's onslaught to beat Gujarat by 4 runs in IPL
Delhi Capitals survived Rashid Khan’s onslaught in the last over to register an exhilarating four-run victory over Gujarat Titans in the Indian Premier League on Wednesday. Needing 19 off fast bowler Mukesh Kumar’s final six balls, Rashid (21 not out) clubbed back-to-back boundaries off the first two balls and then a six off the penultimate ball before Gujarat finished at 220-8 in yet another high-scoring thriller in IPL this season. Captain Rishabh Pant, returning to competitive cricket after his car accident in late December, staked his T20 World Cup claims with a robust unbeaten 88 off 43 balls which propelled Delhi to 224-4 after Gujarat won the toss and chose to field first.

Canada's worries about Bunge-Viterra deal may force asset sales
Canada's competition concerns about U.S. agribusiness Bunge's planned takeover of rival Viterra sets the stage for the companies to sell some assets to close the deal, experts said. Bunge's CEO Greg Heckman said remedies may be unnecessary. The Competition Bureau in Canada, a major grain and canola exporter, said on Tuesday it was worried about reduced competition to buy farmers' crops in Western Canada and to sell canola oil in Eastern Canada if the deal proceeds.

Critics pan Nova Scotia government's consultation on coastal protection law

The survey by Group ATN Consulting was conducted between Sept. 29 and Nov. 8 of last year, but a summary of the results was only posted to the government’s website on Friday.
