Background Spring Breakin' is an annual
professional wrestling television special produced by
WWE for its
developmental brand NXT. The event was established in
2022 and airs as a special episode of
NXT. On April 9, 2024, it was announced that the third Spring Breakin' would take place on April 23 and 30, 2024, at NXT's home base of the
WWE Performance Center in
Orlando, Florida, expanding the event to a two-part special on the
USA Network.
Storylines The card included matches that resulted from scripted storylines. 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. At
Vengeance Day on February 4,
Trick Williams, who was accompanied by
Carmelo Hayes, failed to win the
NXT Championship from
Ilja Dragunov. After the match, Hayes attacked Williams with a steel chair, ending their partnership and turning
heel in the process. At
Roadblock,
The D'Angelo Family's
Tony D'Angelo defeated Hayes to become the #1 contender to the NXT Championship at
Stand & Deliver. After the match, Williams made his return and attacked Hayes in the ring. The following week on
NXT, Williams challenged Hayes to a match at Stand & Deliver. At Stand & Deliver on April 6, Dragunov successfully defended his title while Williams defeated Hayes. On the following episode of
NXT, Williams called out Dragunov to challenge him for the NXT Championship. Dragunov agreed to a title match at Week 1 of Spring Breakin' on the condition that Williams
leave NXT if he lose, which Williams accepted. In early 2023, an unidentified person was behind the attacks that left several members of the women's division on the shelf. One of the victims of the attacks was
Sol Ruca, and footage of the attack was shown at
Spring Breakin' 2023 on the April 25 episode of
NXT. On the May 30 episode, the attacker was revealed to be
Blair Davenport. At
Roadblock on March 5, 2024, after an 11-month hiatus, Ruca returned from injury and attacked Davenport, costing her a match against
Fallon Henley. Two weeks later, Davenport knocked Ruca off the top rope, costing her a match against
Lola Vice. Later that night backstage, Ruca demanded NXT General Manager Ava to schedule a
No Disqualification match against Davenport at Week 1 of Spring Breakin'. Ava accepted the demand, and scheduled the match as a
Beach Brawl. Two weeks later, Vice attacked Natalya, costing her the NXT Women's Championship. Later that night, Natalya retaliated and attacked Vice backstage. Around January 2024, Jayne took on a new protégé,
Jazmyn Nyx, who would help Jayne win matches by cheating which Hail refused to do. On the March 12, 2024 episode of
NXT, Hail disavowed her friendship with Jayne, and Jayne (with Nyx) turned on Chase University the following week, turning both women heel in the process. At Stand & Deliver, Hail,
Fallon Henley and
Kelani Jordan defeated Jayne,
Kiana James and
Izzi Dame in a six-woman tag team match. On the April 16 episode of
NXT, Tatum Paxley defeated Hail after interference from Jayne and Nyx. A match between Hail and Jayne was then made official for Week 2 of Spring Breakin'. In late 2023,
Axiom and
Nathan Frazer formed a tag team partnership. On the April 2, 2024 episode of
NXT, Axiom and Frazer won the
NXT Tag Team Championship Eliminator Tournament to face
NXT Tag Team Champions Baron Corbin and
Bron Breakker for the titles at Stand & Deliver but failed to win the match. In a rematch on the following episode of
NXT, Axiom and Frazer defeated Corbin and Breakker to become the new NXT Tag Team Champions. After the match,
SmackDown's
Authors of Pain of
The Final Testament appeared and attacked Axiom and Frazer. A title match was then made official for Week 2 of Spring Breakin'. ==Results==
