NXT Champion Ilja Dragunov vs. Trick Williams​

The NXT Championship will be on the line at New Year's Evil when Ilja Dragunov takes on Trick Williams.

Williams won the 2023 Men's Iron Survivor Challenge and earned an opportunity at the NXT Title, but Carmelo Hayes has become increasingly erratic since getting attacked himself, going as far as accusing The Mad Dragon of being the perpetrator.

NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria vs. Blair Davenport​

NXT Women's Champion Lyra Valkyria will defend her title against the ruthless Blair Davenport at New Year's Evil.

Davenport won the 2023 Women's Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline, earning a championship opportunity against the champion, Valkyria.​

I fully expect Carmelo to complete his heel turn here.

Screwing Trick or whoopin' him after winning the belt?

Screwing him out of the title then whoopin him.

 

[Jimmy King]

Yeah, I see Trick getting screwed by Melo, or Trick loses fairly to Ilja and Melo attacks him after the match.

This card looks pretty solid, imo. NXT has consistently been one of the most fun shows of this year, and I hope they keep it up in 2024.

Tiffany bout to be a cowgirl lol

What was the point of putting King in the tournament if he wasn’t gonna make the Finals?

Pretty sure the dude he replaced cost him the match so it led to something at least

What was the point of putting King in the tournament if he wasn’t gonna make the Finals?

To build his next angle

Fallon Henley and Tiffany Stratton to battle in high-stakes matchup​

The bitter rivalry between Fallon Henley and Tiffany Stratton adds a new chapter at News Year's Evil. If Henley loses, she becomes Stratton’s servant, but if The Blonde Bombshell loses, she becomes a Ranch Hand.

Between their one-on-one matches, backstage interactions and social media exchanges, no love is lost with these Superstars.

Riley Osborne and Oba Femi compete in the Breakout Tournament Finals​

After weeks of grueling action, Riley Osborne and Oba Femi will go one-on-one to determine the winner of the NXT Men's Breakout Tournament.

In his two victories over Keanu Carver and Lexis King, Osborne showed off his supreme athleticism, including a picture-perfect moonsault.

Femi, on the other hand, powered his way to the finals by defeating Myles Borne and Tavion Heights, thanks to his pure brute force.​

This the place for NXT?
