Trick Williams will be defending the NXT Championship against both Oba Femi and Eddy Thorpe at the upcoming New Year’s Evil special.
Femi has a claim at the title match after winning the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge at the NXT Deadline special on December 7. Thorpe on the other hand, believed that he deserved another shot at the title after his championship match with Williams on last week’s NXT ended in a double pinfall.
The three men met in a segment on the December 24 episode of the Black & Silver show. After an exchange of words, Williams suggested a triple-threat match for the upcoming special. NXT GM Ava then came out to make the match official.
After the announcement, Thorpe tried to sneak attack Trick but the NXT champion moved out of the way and Eddy caught Oba Femi instead. The three stars then brawled and the segment ended with Femi laying down Williams while Thorpe managed to slip away.
This is the second championship match to be confirmed for the upcoming show. Giulia previously earned a shot at Roxanne Perez’s NXT Women’s Title after winning the Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge match.
NXT New Year’s Evil will be taking place from the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California on January 7, 2025.
