NXT New Year’s Evil card: January 7, 2025
Fatal Influence vs. Shotzi, Tatum Paxley, and Gigi Dolin
WWE’s official preview:
The dangerous Fatal Influence may have finally met their match as Gigi Dolin, Tatum Paxley and Shotzi take on NXT’s super group.
Women’s North American Champion Fallon Henley, Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx have tormented NXT for months, but the return of Shotzi and Dolin has finally leveled the playing field.
What will happen when these two incredible teams face off?
Lexis King (c) vs. Charlie Dempsey for the NXT Heritage Cup
WWE’s official preview:
Charlie Dempsey will look to regain the NXT Heritage Cup when he challenges Lexis King.
King won the Heritage Cup on the Dec. 24 episode of NXT when his cornerman, William Regal, knocked him out with brass knuckles, only for the official to disqualify Dempsey for the infraction.
Can Dempsey recapture the Heritage Cup, or will King reign supreme?
Kelani Jordan vs. Cora Jade vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Lola Vice
WWE’s official preview:
Stephanie Vaquer, Kelani Jordan, Cora Jade and Lola Vice are all determined to make a name for themselves.
After weeks of backstage squabbles and in-ring animosity, it all comes to a head in a huge Fatal 4-Way Match.
Who will gain the much-needed victory to begin 2025?
Roxanne Perez (c) vs. Giulia for the NXT Women’s Championship
WWE’s official preview:
Roxanne Perez will defend the NXT Women’s Championship against 2024 Iron Survivor Giulia in what is sure to be a can’t-miss matchup.
Giulia won a thrilling Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge Match at Deadline to earn the championship opportunity, and she will look to end Perez’s iconic run as champion.
The Prodigy has enjoyed a dominant run as NXT Women’s Champion, defeating everyone in her way, including The Beautiful Madness on the CW debut.
Will Perez walk away with another statement win or will Giulia become the new champion?
Trick Williams (c) vs. Eddy Thorpe vs. Oba Femi for the NXT Championship
WWE’s official preview:
The NXT Championship will be on the line when Trick Williams defends the NXT Title against the 2024 Iron Survivor Oba Femi and Eddy Thorpe.
Femi earned the championship opportunity by replacing Thorpe and winning the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline.
Thorpe, seemingly frustrated about being taken out of the match, revealed that he was never actually attacked and instead orchestrated the ruse to earn a championship opportunity of his own.
The ensuing NXT Championship Match ended in a double pin, and that chaos led to Ava making the Triple Threat official.
