Winner: Kelani Jordan via Pinfall 

– Fatal Influence Vignette.

– Sarah Schrieber had a backstage interview with Cedric Alexander. He’s been in the industry for 15 years, and he’s never saw brutality like what happened to Je’Von Evans. His jaw was wired shut. Cedric is more concerned about Je’Von getting better and being able to eat normally than getting back in the ring. Ethan Page joins the conversation. Page doesn’t care that Cedric has text conversations with Je’Von, but one of those text should read, stay away from Ethan Page, because he’s going to put Cedric right next to Je’Von. That led us to a pier six brawl in the backstage area.

Giulia Promo 

Next week, New Year’s EVIL. The rematch I’ve been waiting for since October. Roxanne Perez has been a great Women’s Champion. She belongs in the conversation with all the great NXT Women’s Champions before her. But her spot at the top of the division is coming to an end. It is time for The Beautiful Madness to take over. Time for me to live up to the hype, live up to the expectations the WWE Universe has for me and I have for myself. Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Shayna Baszler, Asuka. I want to put my name in the conversations of women like these future hall of famers. When I first saw wrestling, it felt like electricity surged through my entire body. I knew this was my calling. Japanese Women’s Wrestling is a world of grudges and relentless determination. It is all about trying to prove yourself. In my seven years in Japan, I fought incredible wrestlers and had matches that fans will always remember. Their warrior spirit is telling me not to lose. Roxanne, this time there is nothing you can throw at me I can’t overcome. No weapon, best friend or anything else you can think of. At Deadline, I won The Iron Survivor Challenge for this chance. A chance to take what I traveled across the world for, the right to hold that Women’s Title in the air. Next week, we start the New Year with a new NXT Women’s Champion.

Joe Hendry Promo

Say his name and he appears. This is TNA Wrestling Superstar, Joe Hendry, here, and I just want to give a huge thank you to the WWE Universe for voting my NXT debut as NXT’s Moment Of The Year. This was just a magical year that I got to share with all of you. And it was special because of the reception that you gave me in the building and online. Thank you so much for the support. And before I go, I just want to remind you that, saying his name and he appears means anywhere, anytime, any show.

Trick Williams, Oba Femi, Eddy Thorpe Segment

Oba Femi: You see, you guys and your awards. Don’t you guys understand, it doesn’t matter who wins the Male Superstar Of The Year. All this is, really, is a prop for a popularity contest. Honestly, I think it’s laughable that you guys really think that you can dictate the narrative around here in NXT because you can voice your own opinions on social media. It doesn’t matter if you boo or you cheer, you chant, woo, it doesn’t matter. My performance remains the same, it’s inconsequential. You think you get to control something? You don’t control nothing. The only person in this building, in this company that gets to control anything is me, because I’m the ruler. I’m the one who directs the narrative. I’m the one who stirs the ship. I’m the captain, now. And if you don’t believe me, you can tune in at New Year’s EVIL and witness me become the NXT Champion.

Trick Williams: Oba, why did you come out here and tell these people all kinds of lies? Now, you can correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t see no problem getting some love from the fans. See, I’ve been pretty fortunate since I’ve been here. The people, they show me a lot of love, and I appreciate that. But don’t get it twisted, I know what we got next week. It’s a Triple Threat Match. Eddy Thorpe. Oba Femi. Trick Williams. To win this match, I got to dig deep, man. I got to be ruthless. I need something different. Matter of fact, I need that old thing back. I’m talking about, I need that Trick Curry back. I’m talking about that Tricky McGrady.

I’m talking about that Michael Trick. That Trick James, that Trick Williams that gets the job done. And Oba, I know you got some nicknames for yourself. Oba, The Ruler. The Destroyer. The King. Thanos Jr. But I got another nickname for you, let’s talk about it. Ol Beatable, Oba. That’s right. Oba, you are beatable. And how do we know that you’re beatable? Because if you wasn’t beatable, we wouldn’t have a Triple Threat Match next week, we would have a title versus title match. See, I have my NXT Championship around my waist, where’s your title at, dog? Let’s talk about that, Oba. Since you want to talk about facts, I’m not chasing you, you’re chasing me to be the top man in NXT, let’s talk about, Oba. And since you want to talk about facts, Oba, when you got beat at Halloween Havoc, you were gone for a couple of weeks. Now, we all want to know, how long are you going to take off after I beat you at New Year’s EVIL? 

Eddy Thorpe attacks Oba Femi and Trick Williams from behind. Thorpe breaks the NXT Male Superstar Of The Year Trophy over Oba’s head. Thorpe poses with the NXT Championship as the show goes off the air.
