— WWE (@WWE) December 10, 2025
Despite @starkmanjones' advice, @WWEJeVonEvans wants his NXT Championship Match against @Obaofwwe TONIGHT! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/ZvQ4C9oQ4p
NXT Men’s World Champion Oba Femi makes his way to the ring.
Oba says power, true power. It doesn’t bend, it doesn’t break, it doesn’t beg. It watches the world around it. This is true power. He is a two time champion. The stars aligned for Ricky Saints a No Mercy. NXT was not the same without him on top. The universe did what it did best. It found a way to correct itself. He rose from the ashes to reclaim his title. The title belongs here. It belongs on his shoulder. He says he is done with Ricky Saints. On Saturday, he will stand across the ring from Cody Rhodes. He will not see the future and potential. He will see the now in all of his glory.
Ricky Saints interrupts and he makes his way to the ring.
Ricky tells Oba he wants to be the first to congratulate him. Prophecy fulfilled. His bag is lighter because you did what you said you would do. Ricky says he shook Oba’s hand because he is man enough to admit that Oba was the better man at Deadline. Ricky had to think about what is next for him. He sees Oba with the belt and he says that is it. He won’t get another chance to regain that. Then he remembered who the hell he is. He is Absolute Ricky Saints. If you think he is going to bow down and go to the side, you are wrong. He says he is coming about what is his. You talk about the universe correcting itself. Ricky says he is steering it back on course. It is Ricky Saints 1 and Oba Femi 1. He says he is demanding his rematch.
Je’Von Evans comes out and he wants to know what is going on. He says he ain’t gonna lie and he wasn’t going to interrupt. He watched Deadline over and over and over and over again. He survived the Iron Survivor Challenge. Because of that, he earned a title match at New Year’s Evil. Then, that made him wonder. Why wait until January to have that match? He says he is on fire and he is locked in. He says he is ready right now and no one is going to dictate his moment. He suggests that he has his title match tonight.
Ricky tells Evans to hold on. He wants to know what is the rush. You are on a roll so what is the rush. Ricky says if he gets his rematch it would be them for the title. You have been there for him every step of the way. Are you sure this is what you want?
Evans says everyone is telling him to wait. People tell him he is the future, but he is the right now. He says he doesn’t need the stars to align. He says he doesn’t mean to be cocky but no one is talking to him at age 21. That is the play right now. He says Oba is the man he has to beat for the title. If there is anyone he is putting money on tonight, it is himself.
Ricky says he is with it. It is Evans’ time.
Oba asks the beltless and titleless people if are going to tell him what to do?
Ricky asks if Oba is saying no to the Iron Survivor. Evans says that Oba is scared. Evans says he has Oba’s number.
Oba says he is not afraid of Evans and you have never beaten him. It will be no different tonight. He says ‘Game On’.

We are back and Tatum Paxley tells Izzi she said she would end this hopeless and pathetic version of herself. You did it. She is all gone now. Tatum says she has nothing left to lose, but you do. You stabbed her in her back and separated her heart from her mind because she didn’t want to play your way. Now we are going to play her way. It will eventually be you and me, alone together.

— WWE (@WWE) December 10, 2025
Tony D'Angelo just attacked Ethan Page!!! 🤯 pic.twitter.com/9NiZqt2WnX
NXT Men’s North American champion Ethan Page makes way to the ring.
Ethan says it does not matter when it comes to his North American championship. He came to NXT to drink from the fountain of youth and soak up so much knowledge. He was the only one who had the balls to ask the questions nobody was willing to ask. While others asked how to hit the perfect drop kick, Ethan says he asked how does he break someone’s jaw. Now the wrestlers are pre-occupied with Tik Tok and social media for that finger point photo with their childhood hero. These are the same men he was asking so they could stay in the back staring at him with these title. We are all going to have to watch. We will watch John Cena have his final match in a few days. Then we will see John walk away for good.
Ethan says he has learned that a week after he is gone, John will be a distant memory with a giant void to be fille. A man with a giant ego. The man who won the NXT Title in record time. He couldn’t find his path back so he went after this to make the North American title, the most prestgious. Every company has sent their best to try to take this title from him. Ethan a man like that deserves a break, but he didn’t stop and he went on to win the AAA Mixed Tag Title. It made him unique from everyone else in this company.
There are three days that are important. The day you enter this world, the day you leave this world, and the day you realize that Ethan Page is the greatest superstar. NXT will be perfectly fine.
The lights go out .
The lights come back on and Tony D’Angelo gives Ethan a spine buser and he drops black fabric on him.

In-Ring: Fatal Influence, Kendal Grey, Wren Sinclair
2025 was the year of Jacy Jayne! 😎 @jacyjaynewwe pic.twitter.com/3rPKR7dEMR
— WWE (@WWE) December 10, 2025
Jacy says that Kendal is living the Cinderella Story to go from obscurity to the Iron Survivor. This moment is as good as it is going to get. You have all of these people hyping you up and supporting you. Your stock is never higher. You are living the dream. This is why people say they want to do this. They want the love and support you are getting now. Your reality is going to smack you in the face come New Year’s Evil. Your fifteen minutes will be up when you lose. This crash and downward spiral she will send you on will be catastrophic. The fans will move on to the next flavor of the month. No one will tell you the truth other than her. Potential doesn’t win championships. You may be the Evolve champion, but holding this title is a whole different level.
You may have spent all year trying to make a name for yourself, but Jacy says she owned this year. She went from being underappreciated and overlooked to being the most dominant champion. She says she is a history maker. She held the NXT and TNA women’s titles at the same time. She is a two time champion. Everybody realized what she has known all along. She is a rock star in this ring. She is the foundation and glue that holds this division together.
She is not going to let a bootleg Kurt Angle with a ponytail steal her spot. You don’t stand a chance in hell of beating her.
Kendal says Jacy is right. You had a ton of momentum, but who has momentum now. She is a rookie and has a lot to learn, but no one expected her to win the Iron Survivor and she did. She shocked herself. No one expects her to beat Jacy. No one expected Jacy to beat Stephanie. Anything can happen in the ring. She showed that she can rise to the occasion. If you want to treat their match as a joke, go ahead.
Jacy says Kendal wins one match and she thinks she can be in the most dominant faction in NXT.
Wren says they have a title now and they will have a second and you will have one. Maybe they will make a clean sweep.
Lainey says matching jackets mean nothing.
Fallon says they will leave enough of Kendal.
Fallon and Lainey attack Wren and Kendal. Jacy joins in. Wren joins the fight. Lainey with a super kick to Wren and she punches and kicks Kendal.
