Vic and Booker T are once again at the announcer’s desk with Mike Rome taking care of the Ring Announcing duties.
The show has opened with a recap of the events from Deadline.
Oba Femi is on his way to the ring. Oba will have a match against Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Oba has been working while he has been away. You can see he has lost weight and added muscle. Ricky Saints is out with Oba. Ricky is out wanting his rematch. Ja’von Evans just joined the chat. Ja’von didn’t want to wait til New Year’s Evil; their title match is tonight.
** Kelani Jordan is facing Jordynne Grace in singles action. They have been going hell for leather before the bell rang. Kelani tried a chair, but it didn’t work. You can see that Kelani is now a heel. She put Jordynne through the right-side barrier, then dragged her into the ring for the win.
Blake Monroe (you would have thought they might have repackaged her from AEW) is in the ring for her version of the John Cena open challenge. Thea made Blake tap, but there was no official bell to ring.
Oh, geesh, Ethan Page is in the ring. Once again, Ethan is running his mouth about everything and how good he is, but Tony D’Angelo once again has made his presence known.
Sol Ruca in singles action against Wren Sinclare. Wren held her own; the flow was not there as it could be. You can see that she has not had a lot of ring time.
Myles Bourne/Leon Slater/Dion Lennox/Joe Hendry — will go at it in a fatal 4-way, for the right to face Oba Femi at New Year’s Evil.
Fatal Influence on the scene. Wren and Kendal are out cutting a promo for New Year’s Evil. Jacey with her usual trash talking. Typical Fatal Influence, trash talk and then beat up everyone.
Oba Femi defends the Men’s NXT Title against Ja’Von Evans. Mike just did the introductions. Oba outweights Ja’von by 130 pounds. I can’t see Ja’von winning with Oba with the strength/Ja’Von with the speed. This match was hard to watch, with Oba’s strength, Evans was not able to get anything going. Oba retains the title and will defend it at New Year’s Evil
