Oba Femi, Ricky Saints, Je’Von Evans Segment
Oba Femi: Power, true power, it doesn’t bend, it doesn’t break, it doesn’t beg, it stands still, and it watches the world revolve around it. This is true power. 2X NXT Champion. This is true power. And fair play to Ricky Saints, the stars aligned for him, and he did exactly what he said what he was going to do at No Mercy, he momentarily knocked The Ruler off his throne. But let’s be real, NXT was not the same without The Ruler on top. So, then the universe did what it does best, it found a way to correct itself, and at Deadline, The Ruler rose from the ashes, and reclaimed his title. Because the title belongs here, it belongs to me, it’s on my shoulder, because this is the way it’s supposed to be, so now I’m done with Ricky Saints. And at Saturday Night’s Main Event, I will stand across the ring from Cody Rhodes, and he will look me in my eyes, and he will not see potential, he will not see the future, he will see the now, he will see the inevitable. The Ruler, The Destroyer, The Bringer Of War, in all my glory, Oba Femi. Now, we have to talk about the end of the show.
Ricky Saints: Oba, let me be the first to congratulate you. Prophecy fulfilled. My bag is lighter because of you, because did exactly what you said you were gonna do. And that’s the reason I shook your hand, because I am man enough to admit that Oba Femi was the better man after Deadline. And you know, on the drive home that night, it really made me start to think, what is next for “Absolute” Ricky Saints. The Absolute Era came and went. And, you know, I see you standing here with the NXT Championship, and it really does make me feel, like, well, that was it. There ain’t never gonna be another chance for me to regained that, but then I remembered exactly who the hell I am. I’m “Absolute” Ricky Saints. And if you think that I’m gonna bow down, and just fade to the back, oh, you’ve got another thing coming. I am gonna step right back up, I’m putting all bets right on this heart, and I am coming after what is mine. You talk about the universe correcting itself, nah, I’m steering it back on course, I’m undoing all mistakes. Let the record show, it’s Ricky Saints, 1, Oba Femi, 1. So, by those standards, I gave you your shot, now I’m demanding my rematch for the NXT Championship.
Je’Von Evans: Hey, hey, hey, hold on, hold on, hold on, turn up now, turn up. Yerp! I ain’t even gonna lie, I didn’t mean to interrupt for real, but I’ve been watching Deadline over and over and over and over, and over again. Like, The Young OG survived The Iron Survivor Challenge. And because of that, that means I just earned an NXT Championship Opportunity at New Year’s Evil. But then that made me wonder, why would I wait till January to have a match? I mean, I’m on fire. I’m locked in right now. I’m ready right now. Hey, ain’t nobody gonna dictate my moment. So, Oba, if you’re picking up what I’m putting down, champ, how about I have that NXT Championship Match, tonight?
Ricky Saints: Woah, woah, woah, Je’Von, hold on, hold on. What’s the rush? For real, what’s the rush? You’re on fire, you have banger after banger, you’re having all these great matches, what is the rush? Think about this, if I get the rematch, and it could be me and you for the title, and that right there is a way better play than whatever this is? You have been there for me; you have been there for me every step of the way. And it’s totally your call, I get it, but are you sure this is the play?
Je’Von Evans: See, this is why I’m doing this. Am I sure? That’s all I hear, Ricky. Oh, are you sure, Je’Von? Let’s not rush you, Je’Von. How about this, Je’Von, you’re the future. Is Je’Von Evans the future? Hell nah, Je’Von Evans is the right now. And I don’t need the stars to line up for me, I line up myself, you feel me? So, how do I say this, I don’t mean to be cocky, you feel me, but ain’t nobody touching me at the age of 21. You feel me? I’ve been going crazy. AAA, NXT, Raw, SmackDown, what, you want some more? Hell, NXT live events, what’s up with it? Ain’t nobody touching me, and that’s the play right now. So, Oba, you’re the man I got beef for that NXT Championship. And if there’s anybody that I would put money on tonight, it’s going to be The Young OG, Je’Von Evans.
Ricky Saints: Okay, okay, damn right. No, I’m with it, it’s your time tonight. How about this, no, for real, it’s your time, go and get yours.
Oba Femi: So, you two beltless, titleless, championshipless guys want to come and tell the champion how to run things? Is that so?
Ricky Saints: Woah, woah, woah, hold on, big fella. Pump your brakes. Aren’t you, Oba Femi, The Ruler? Are you saying no The Iron Survivor?
Je’Von Evans: Nah, nah, nah, it looks like his ass scary a hell. Scary as hell, because you know for a fact that The Young OG got your number.
Oba Femi: Je’Von, I’ve never been afraid of you. As a matter of fact, every single time we’ve locked up, you’ve never beaten me, I’ve always beat you, and it’s going to be no different tonight. So, you know what? Game on.
– We got a video recap on the Jordynne Grace/Kelani Jordan Rivalry.
Tatum Paxley Promo
Izzi, you said that you were gonna end this pathetic version of myself that just refused to evolve. And you know what? You did it. She’s all gone now, and I have nothing to lose, but you do. You stabbed me in my back, separated my heart from my mind, all because I didn’t want to play your way. Well, now we’re gonna play my game.

– Coming out of the commercial break, we see Jordynne Grace complaining in the Women’s Locker Room. Thea Hail tells Grace to not be so hard on herself.

Second Match: Blake Monroe (c) vs. TBD For The WWE NXT Women’s North American Championship
Blake Monroe: As your NXT Women’s North American Champion, I know how much the women in that locker room idolize me, and how they look up to me as something of a role model. And with the holiday’s coming up, I’m finding myself in a giving mood, wanting to bless those less fortunate, give back. After all, who doesn’t want a little bit of glamour in their life? So, being the ferocious competitor that I am, I have decided to host an open challenge. And of course, AVA agreed. So, without further ado, let’s see which lucky lady gets the opportunity of a lifetime. Okay, one at a time. Seriously, one at a time. AVA! AVA!
The entire Women’s Locker Room appears on the stage. Thea Hail slides into the ring. Thea makes Monroe tap out to The Kimura Lock. Monroe retreats to the outside with the Women’s North American Championship, because the bell never rung.
Match Result: No-Contest, But Still WWE NXT Women’s North American Champion, Blake Monroe
– Kelly Kincaid had a backstage interview with Shiloh Hill. He’s so excited about his in-ring debut. Obviously, he’s a bit nervous, but you know what they say about nervousness, right, that’s just the body activating the hyperactive nervous system. He feels good. He has all this pent-up energy, and now he gets to unleash that, and go smashmouth on Lexis King. It’s now time to show the world why no one sleeps on Shiloh Hill.

– Kelly Kincaid had a backstage interview with Oba Femi. When you’re champion, you learn to expect the unexpected. Because when surprises run into dominance, like himself, the end result is typically predictable, because it always ends with gold hoisted above my head. Oba hopes that Cody Rhodes is watching tonight, because he knows what Je’Von Evans is all about, but he has no idea what The Ruler is capable of. Oba’s gonna step up to Cody in his own territory, because he’s the face of the company, QB 1, the man who carries this place. Who is going to carry Cody when Oba puts him in the ground? That’s what awaits Cody and Je’Von. Oba is going to break The Iron Survivor, and then on Saturday, he’ll break The American Nightmare. Oba must prepare for tonight’s main event.

Ethan Page & Tony D’Angelo Segment
Ethan Page: Superstars such as reptiles, insiders, outsiders, it truly doesn’t matter when it comes to my North American Championship. Folks, I came to NXT to drink from the fountain of youth, and soak up as much knowledge as humanly possible, but it turns out I was the only guy willing to ask the questions that nobody had the balls to ask. No, it’s true. While athletes asked, how to perform the best dropkick, I asked, how do I break that guy’s jaw? And while no one gave me the answer I was looking for, I did it their way, anyways. Old school, trail and error, using whatever warm body this company wants to call a professional wrestler. So, now these said wrestlers seem to be a little preoccupied with their TikToks, with their social media, trying to aim for that finger point photo with their childhood favorite. Well, these were the same men I was asking these questions to, so that these athletes can stay in the back, and stare at me out here with these.
Now, collectively, we’re all gonna have to watch. We’re gonna watch John Cena have his last match in a couple days, and after that, we get to watch John Cena walk away for good. What I’ve learned really quickly is though, about a week after he’s gone, that man will become a distant memory, leaving a big giant void to be filled, a void to be filled by a man with a giant ego, that same man who won the NXT Championship in record time. Now, when I couldn’t find my path back to that championship, well, that’s when I won this. Turning the North American Championship into the most sought after, prestigious prize in all of NXT. And by the way, that’s not just a cliche or a catchphrase, it’s true, check my resume.
Every locker room, brand, company, amalgamation of letters has sent their very best to try to take this championship from me, and they couldn’t. Now, a man with that many accomplishments truly deserves a break. No break for All Ego, I decided to keep conquering, and I did. I went on, while defending this championship, to win the AAA Mixed Tag Team Titles, making me one of one, unlike anyone else in this entire company. Folks, there are three days most important to everyone in the entire world, the day you were brought into this world, the day you leave this world, and the day you realize Ethan Page is the biggest superstar the WWE has to offer. And then going forward, under my supervision, NXT will be perfectly fine.
– The lights go out in the building. Tony D’Angelo appears behind Page. Angelo drops Page with The Forget About It. Angelo pours the broken hat pieces on top of Page.
– Coming out of the commercial break, we see AVA talking to Joe Hendry, Leon Slater, Myles Borne and Dion Lennox in her office. Lennox wants to know what’s going on. All four guys start bickering with each other. AVA says that the four guys will compete in a traditional Fatal Four Way Match, the winner of that match will face the NXT Champion at New Year’s Evil. Ethan Page storms into the office throwing a massive fit. He wants to know what the hell is going on with Tony D’Angelo. AVA says that she hasn’t seen Tony in months. Page calls AVA a goofball general manager. Page had a lizard stealing his car last week, this week he has someone who’s been out of action for six months attacking him for absolutely no reason. Where’s the love? Borne tries to scare Page by saying someone is behind him.
Fourth Match: Sol Ruca vs. Wren Sinclair w/Kendal Grey
STILL TO COME
