NXT Roadblock (2022)
The 2022 NXT Roadblock was the third Roadblock professional wrestling event produced by WWE. It was held primarily for wrestlers from the NXT brand division. Unlike the previous two Roadblock events, NXT Roadblock aired as a special episode of NXT on the USA Network. The television special took place on March 8, 2022, at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. The event's title is a reference to its position on the road to NXT Stand & Deliver, NXT's WrestleMania week event. This was the first Roadblock event since Roadblock: End of the Line in December 2016.
Six matches were contested at the event. In the main event, Dolph Ziggler defeated defending champion Bron Breakker and Tommaso Ciampa to win the NXT Championship. In other prominent matches, Grayson Waller defeated LA Knight in a Last Man Standing match, and Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel) vs. MSK (Wes Lee and Nash Carter) ended in a no-contest, thus Imperium retained the NXT Tag Team Championship.
Roadblock is a professional wrestling event established by WWE in 2016. The inaugural event was held in March that year and aired exclusively on the WWE Network. The event's name was a reference to its position on the "Road to WrestleMania". In July 2016, WWE reintroduced the brand extension, where the roster was divided between brands where wrestlers were exclusively assigned to perform. Roadblock was brought back that same year in December as a Raw-exclusive event under the title Roadblock: End of the Line. It aired on pay-per-view (PPV) and the WWE Network with its name being in reference to being WWE's final PPV of 2016. Roadblock was then discontinued without any further events scheduled. However, during the March 1, 2022, episode of NXT, it was announced that Roadblock had been revived for the NXT brand under the title NXT Roadblock, with its title being in reference to its position on the road to NXT Stand & Deliver, the brand's WrestleMania week event. Unlike the previous two Roadblock events, NXT Roadblock was scheduled to be held as a special episode of NXT, with the television special airing on March 8 on the USA Network. The event took place at NXT's home base of the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
The card included matches that resulted from scripted storylines, where wrestlers portrayed heroes, villains, or less distinguishable characters in scripted events that built tension and culminated in a wrestling match or series of matches. Results were predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, while storylines were produced on WWE's weekly television program, NXT, and the supplementary online streaming show, Level Up.
On the February 8 episode of NXT, Raw roster member Dolph Ziggler appeared to crash the championship summit between Santos Escobar and NXT Champion Bron Breakker. Ziggler confronted Breakker over his comments on Twitter, and said that he never held the NXT Championship before. The segment ended with Ziggler and Tommaso Ciampa brawling at ringside, leaving Breakker to get powerbombed through a table by Legado Del Fantasma (Joaquin Wilde and Raul Mendoza). At NXT Vengeance Day, Breakker defeated Escobar to retain the title; during the match, Ziggler interfered on Escobar's behalf, but later engaged in a brawl with Ciampa that spilled out of the ring. That same night, a match between Ziggler and Ciampa to determine the number one contender for the title was scheduled for the following week, which Ziggler won after interference from a cameraman, later revealed to be Ziggler's tag team partner, Robert Roode. Afterwards, Breakker attacked the two and, along with Ciampa, challenged Ziggler and Roode to a tag team match for the March 1 episode. On that episode, Ciampa and Breakker defeated Ziggler and Roode when Ciampa pinned Ziggler. As a result, Ciampa was added to the match, making it a triple threat match, and the match was scheduled for Roadblock. Prior to Roadblock, Breakker wrestled his first match on the main roster on the March 7 episode of Raw, where he teamed with Ciampa to take on Ziggler and Roode in a winning effort when Breakker pinned Ziggler.
At NXT Vengeance Day, The Creed Brothers (Brutus Creed and Julius Creed) defeated MSK (Wes Lee and Nash Carter) to win the 2022 Men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic and earn themselves a match for the NXT Tag Team Championship, which was held by Imperium (Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel). The match was later scheduled for Roadblock.
In late 2021, LA Knight began feuding with Grayson Waller. On the October 19 episode of NXT, Knight defeated Waller to earn the right to host Halloween Havoc. At the event, however, Waller took over hosting duties for most of the event, with Knight joining the fray afterwards. On the November 23 episode of NXT, a double turn took place: Waller turned heel by berating the fans, and Knight turned face by displaying fighting spirit attitude. Also on that same episode, Knight was attacked by Waller before Knight's match, resulting in a brawl that spilled backstage. At WarGames on December 5, Knight's team (Team Black & Gold) lost to Waller's team (Team 2.0) in a WarGames match. On the December 14 episode of NXT, Knight was attacked by Waller in the parking lot. Knight returned on the January 11, 2022, episode of NXT, where he attacked Waller after the latter's match. The following week, Waller presented a restraining order against Knight, who in turn scheduled Waller to face Dexter Lumis. Waller won after an "insurance policy" attacked Lumis. On the January 25 episode, the "insurance policy" was revealed to be Sanga. The following week, Knight lost his match after interference from Waller and Sanga. This led to a match between Knight and Sanga on the February 8 episode where Knight was victorious. Following the match, instead of lifting the restraining order, Waller threatened that Knight would be arrested for breaking it. At NXT Vengeance Day, Waller told the police to arrest Knight, stating that the restraining order was set up after Knight's attack on Waller after the latter's match on the January 11 episode, but Knight showed footage of Waller breaking the restraining order two weeks ago with an attack on Knight. Waller then stated that the restraining order was void. Knight then laid out Waller and Sanga, leading to a match between Waller and Knight being scheduled for the February 22 episode, where Waller won, but after the match, Knight attacked Waller and Sanga. On the March 1 episode, Knight challenged Waller to a Last Man Standing match, and Waller accepted. The match was subsequently scheduled for Roadblock.
During NXT: New Year's Evil, the 2022 Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic was announced to begin in February. On March 8, it was revealed that both semifinal matches would take place at Roadblock.
