The fifth award announced was the NXT Male Superstar of the Year award which did not have a winner revealed due to Oba Femi interrupting the award announcement. Femi started talking about himself and claiming he would win the NXT Championship next week only to be interrupted by NXT Champion Trick Williams who came out to respond to Femi and their upcoming match. This led to Eddy Thorpe running out from the crowd and attacked both and smashed the NXT Male Supsertar of the Year award plaque over Femi’s head laying him out.
MESSAGE. SENT. @EddyThorpe_WWE might have just given us a #NewYearsEvil preview! π³#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/hNE8Cj1SoQ

NXT Women’s Title #1 Contender Match, NXT Heritage Cup Title, & More Announced for NXT New Year’s Evil 2025
Tuesday’s taped NXT show also featured three new matches announced for the card of NXT New Year’s Evil 2025, which takes place on January 7, 2025 at the Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles, California.
The first new match announced was a NXT Women’s North American Championship #1 Contender’s Fatal Four-way match of Lola Vice vs. Kelani Jordan vs. Stephanie Vaquer vs. Cora Jade.

The second new match announced was NXT Heritage Cup Championship match of Lexis King vs. Charlie Dempsey (c).
This match was setup following a backstage segment involving NXT GM Ava, King, Dempsey, and William Regal. Ava brought up how King won the title last week by disqualification but took issue with how the title can change because of a grey area and voided the result. Ava then asked for King to hand over the Heritage Cup and announced that he would face off against Dempsey in a rematch for the title at New Year’s Evil 2025. Ava stated that this match would be held with the stipulation of it being under “sudden death” with only one fall needed to end the match. King gave an upset reaction but handed over the cup to Dempsey who was gleeful to get his cup back.
“But I did everything right…”
