Tonight’s edition of NXT and the 12/27 show are taped events. Scheduled for next week’s program is Wes Lee defending the North American Championship against Tony D’Angelo.
New Day (Kofi Kingston & Xavier Woods) had their first defense of the NXT Tag Team Championships. They bested Brooks Jenson and Josh Briggs to retain.
The Women’s Tag Team Titles were successfully retained as well. The duo of Kayden Carter and Katana Chance extended their reign as they came out victorious in a Triple Threat tag that included Ivy Nile and Tatum Paxley and Toxic Attraction (Gigi Dolin & Jacy Jayne).
At New Year’s Evil on January 10th, Grayson Waller is challenging Bron Breakker for the NXT Championship. Throughout tonight’s program, Waller continuously called Breakker out to meet him in the ring despite knowing Breakker was not in the vicinity. It was explained that Breakker was doing promotional work for Vengeance Day in February.
In the final segment of the show, Breakker arrived to the venue and went straight to the ring to brawl with Waller. Breakker connected with a spear but was knocked out as Waller was sporting a metal chest plate.
