Background

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 with its name being in reference to its position on the "Road to WrestleMania". ^[1] In July 2016, WWE reintroduced the brand extension, where the main 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. ^{[2] [3]} After a six-year hiatus, ^[4] Roadblock was revived in 2022 for the developmental brand NXT as an annual television special episode of NXT , with its title being in reference to its position on the road to NXT's WrestleMania weekend event, Stand & Deliver. ^[5]

On February 3, 2026, Fightful reported that the 2026 NXT Roadblock television special has been listed on Madison Square Garden's official website. It is scheduled to take place on March 31 at the Infosys Theater at Madison Square Garden, the same venue that hosted the previous year's Roadblock event. ^{[6] [7]}

Storylines

The card will include matches that result from scripted storylines. Results will be predetermined by WWE's writers on the NXT brand, ^{[8] [9]} while storylines will be produced on the weekly television program, NXT, as well as Total Nonstop Action Wrestling's (TNA) weekly television program, Thursday Night Impact! , following WWE and TNA signing a multi-year partnership in January 2025. ^{[10] [11]}
