The aftermath of Deadline unfolded on the December 10 edition of WWE NXT. With Giulia and Oba Femi emerging victorious in the Iron Survivor Challenge matches at Deadline, both guaranteed future NXT Championship opportunities, the focus shifted to how champions Roxanne Perez and Trick Williams would respond to their new challengers.
WWE NXT also featured a continuation of the intense rivalry between Wes Lee and Je’Von Evans, a tag team clash involving Fatal Influence, and a chaotic main event that saw Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade team up against Giulia and Kelani Jordan. Here’s a detailed breakdown of this week’s WWE NXT.
Giulia Wants to Dethrone Roxanne Perez at New Year’s Evil
The show kicked off with Giulia, the winner of the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge, confidently declaring her intention to dethrone Roxanne Perez at New Year’s Evil. However, the NXT Women’s Champion interrupted, leading to a heated confrontation.
Before tensions could escalate further, Cora Jade appeared, revealing that she had attacked Stephanie Vaquer backstage. Jade and Perez attempted to ambush Giulia, but Kelani Jordan arrived to even the odds, forcing the heels to retreat.
While Giulia is still adapting to performing promos in a new language, her charisma and presence continue to shine, making her a formidable challenger for Perez.
Je’Von Evans & Wes Lee Continue Their Feud
In a thrilling rematch, Je’Von Evans proved his mettle by defeating Wes Lee in a hard-fought contest.
Lee nearly secured the win with his signature Cardiac Kick, but his attempt to use the ropes for leverage was caught by the referee. Evans capitalized on the opportunity, delivering a clean superkick followed by a spectacular twisting splash off the top rope to seal the victory.
This win gave Evans much-needed momentum and showcased his ability to hang with one of NXT’s top stars.
Hank Walker & Tank Ledger Look Unstoppable
The powerhouse duo of Hank Walker and Tank Ledger continued their winning streak with a decisive victory over Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe.
Despite Dupont and Igwe’s impressive combination of size and speed, they were no match for the sheer power of Walker and Ledger. The match ended with Walker hitting a running powerslam on Dupont, followed by Ledger’s devastating running forearm for the pinfall.
Oba Femi to Trick Williams: “Let’s See Who the Real Top Guy Is”
Oba Femi, the winner of the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge, called out Trick Williams, setting the stage for their NXT Championship clash at New Year’s Evil.
The segment took a chaotic turn when Eddy Thorpe interrupted, accusing Femi of attacking him backstage. Femi denied the allegations, but the distraction allowed Trick to shift the focus back to their upcoming title match.
Thorpe demanded a title shot for the injustices he claimed to have faced, and Trick agreed to face him next week. However, the segment ended with Trick planting Thorpe with a punch, further escalating tensions.
Later in the night, it was revealed that Thorpe had faked his own attack, solidifying his heel turn and adding another layer of intrigue to the NXT Championship picture.
Shotzi Returns to Help Gigi Dolin & Tatum Paxley
Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx, aka Fatal Influence, secured a controversial victory over Gigi Dolin and Tatum Paxley.
The match saw Nyx dominate early with her swift kicks, but Dolin turned the tide with a fiery comeback. However, Women’s North American Champion Fallon Henley interfered, shoving Paxley off the top rope and allowing Jayne to hit Rolling Encore for the win.
After the match, Fatal Influence launched a post-match attack, only to be thwarted by the returning Shotzi, who evened the odds and sent the heels retreating.
The Don’s Reign Continues
Tony D’Angelo continued his reign as NXT North American Champion with a hard-fought victory over Ethan Page.
Page, frustrated by his inability to put away the champion, grew increasingly erratic as the match progressed. D’Angelo capitalized on Page’s mistakes, hitting his signature Fisherman’s Buster to secure the win and further cement his dominance in the division.
NXT Women’s Champion Roxanne Perez & Cora Jade Took on Iron Survivor Giulia & Kelani Jordan
The main event saw Roxanne Perez and Cora Jade team up to face Giulia and Kelani Jordan in a chaotic tag team match.
The action began before the bell, with both teams brawling outside the ring. Once the match officially started, Giulia showcased her world-class skills, going toe-to-toe with Perez.
The finish came when Perez hit Pop Rox on Jordan outside the ring, allowing Jade to secure the pinfall victory over Giulia inside the ring.
After the match, Stephanie Vaquer made her return, attacking Jade in retaliation for the earlier backstage assault.
