00:00:00Then, now, forever, together.
00:00:30There is the new Women's North American Champion, Thea Hale.
00:00:38She will address the NXT owners for the first time ever as a champion here tonight.
00:00:45There's a former champion who showed his true colors.
00:00:48Well, for Richard Saints tonight, he'll go face-to-face with the man that he betrayed, the young OG, Javon Evans.
00:00:55We're going to need some extra security because these combustible elements are guaranteed to explode here tonight.
00:01:03On the topic of championships, it's a championship main event.
00:01:07Chelsea Green will continue a Canadian standard of excellence as she defends her Women's United States Championship against this woman, Sol Ruka.
00:01:16Can Sol continue to ride the wave of momentum? Can she regain gold? We're going to find out tonight on NXT.
00:01:25And we are in the festive spirit here tonight in Orlando, Florida, inside the Performance Center.
00:01:33As you can see, the gifts are indeed wrapped.
00:01:36Happy holidays, wherever you may be.
00:01:39One, two, three, four.
00:01:55The following contest is scheduled for what's all.
00:02:11Introducing first, from Miami, Florida, Lola 5!
00:02:16Mick Joseph alongside Booker T here tonight.
00:02:20If you see this book as a chance for Lola to truly solidify herself in this women's division.
00:02:26It's a must-win, by estimation, because me personally, there's a ranking system right here.
00:02:32If you don't win, you go to the back of the line, man.
00:02:35It's about two things, right?
00:02:37Life, what other?
00:02:38Truth, law, to the man.
00:02:39Truth, no, checks and championships.
00:02:41I get it.
00:02:41I've heard you for three years, I get it.
00:02:43Bringing it to light.
00:02:45And her opponent, the Cullet, is he, Dane!
00:03:09Obviously, with everything Tatum Paxley has said, there seems to be a look of worry on
00:03:15the face of Izzy Dane.
00:03:17There is no Nico, Sean Spears looking over his shoulder.
00:03:21And let me just be blunt.
00:03:23With everything that has happened, and if you're Sean Spears, would you trust Izzy Dane?
00:03:30It's not about whether somebody trusted Izzy.
00:03:33In my estimation, Izzy has been quarterbacking this whole thing, man, as far as the Cullet
00:03:40goes.
00:03:40Izzy's the one who has been making all the calls, calling all the shots.
00:03:46Right now, I'm going to tell you right now, if Izzy's focused tonight, she's going to be
00:03:50hard to beat.
00:03:51I don't care who you are, man.
00:03:53I don't wonder how much focus is on her opponent, how much focus is on someone like Tatum Paxley.
00:03:58Is this one underway, and Izzy taking right over, almost on cue from what you said, Book?
00:04:03I mean, this is truly going to be the striking of Lola Vice versus the power of Izzy, Dane,
00:04:08and which attribute has the advantage?
00:04:10Because you just went there.
00:04:11I mean, the power of Izzy just took this thing to another level right off the bat, and
00:04:15I think that's what's going to come into play as this match goes, but you better not count,
00:04:18you better not count Lola Vice out, because she's one spicy meatball.
00:04:24Well, there's the striking coming right now, rights, lefts, knees, everything from Lola
00:04:28Vice.
00:04:29You know, it should both these women, by the way, be upset that they are not nominated
00:04:32for NXT Female of the Year, of course, the end of the year awards next week here on NXT.
00:04:37You don't just get an award because somebody likes you or anything like that.
00:04:42It's the accolades, right?
00:04:43It's about how much work you put in for that 365.
00:04:47You just can't come in half a year and think you're going to slip on a banana peel and get
00:04:51one of these awards, no, no, no, I want all the awards back in my day.
00:04:55And right now, trying to roll right through, looking for a submission, Lola Vice.
00:04:59We talked about the striking ability, but we also got to remember the MMA background.
00:05:02MMA is definitely coming into play right now, and Lola Vice is going to a base right now,
00:05:07got that.
00:05:07Is this cinched in properly?
00:05:08I don't know about that right now, but Izzy's leading on Lola right there, which totally
00:05:13brings a little bit of space right there for the escape.
00:05:17Look, Lola had to relinquish the hold to be able to kick out, and you know, when I asked you
00:05:20about solidifying herself, I want to add this.
00:05:23Do you get a sense that Lola is getting frustrated?
00:05:25We heard the comments last week, we've seen the interactions in the locker room as well.
00:05:29Is she getting frustrated or something?
00:05:31Lola Vice, she's had so many chances, so many chances at that goal.
00:05:36And we talked about it, the goal will make you do some crazy, crazy things,
00:05:41and not winning that goal even more.
00:05:43And Lola Vice charged her up.
00:05:45Yes!
00:05:45She is nominated for match of the year against JC Chan at No Mercy.
00:05:50What do you mean, wait a minute?
00:05:51You know, Shay's from Rey Mysterio right there, that dude right there.
00:05:56It's a killer, and it's not good at all.
00:06:00Listen to the NXT universe.
00:06:03I'm sure you think Lola should also maybe keep her opinions to herself for
00:06:06some of the things she has said in the last.
00:06:08Of course, man.
00:06:08I mean, mind your own business, and if you ain't got something good to say,
00:06:12don't say anything at all.
00:06:14I mean, concern yourself with business that concern you.
00:06:18You know the deal, man.
00:06:20I hear you, and you see Sean Spears on the outside,
00:06:22not liking what he's seeing right now.
00:06:24And, wait, there's the power back on display from Izzy.
00:06:28Izzy now going into the cover, off the slam, deep hook of the leg, and a kick out.
00:06:32You know, I said it's a bustling in for Lola Vice, but I'm gonna tell you right now,
00:06:36Izzy Dane could not slip up and let this opportunity pass her by as far as
00:06:41getting a big win over Lola Vice here tonight.
00:06:43That's fair, and look, Pax has been calling out the culling in her own crafty way.
00:06:47There's no way right now Izzy isn't worried about Tatum Pax.
00:06:50There's no way Sean Spears isn't worried about Tatum Pax.
00:06:53Pax, he's like, like, Hansel and Bret.
00:06:55He's just been leading little breadcrumbs all over the place.
00:06:59You know what I'm saying?
00:07:00You are in the festive spirit.
00:07:01I'm not sure you're gonna start talking with all sorts of Tiny Tim and all sorts of stories
00:07:05coming out.
00:07:06Ghost of Christmas Past is Lola Vice right now.
00:07:08Another big kick!
00:07:09And the striking ability on display right now from Lola.
00:07:14And that's something we talk about coming into this matchup for Lola.
00:07:17That would be something she'd have to rely on, as Izzy will rely on the power that we
00:07:21have seen on display in one more time, just hoisting up, looking to plant the field of this.
00:07:25Oh, wait a minute.
00:07:26Talk about craftiness.
00:07:27Look at this submission.
00:07:28Nice reversal right there.
00:07:30Got that choke cinched in right there.
00:07:32I'm gonna tell you right now, Izzy needs to move.
00:07:34It moves quick, otherwise, she's gonna go to sleep.
00:07:37Is Izzy gonna tap?
00:07:40You see Sean Spears basically echoing what you just said, she got to move.
00:07:44That is, that is all the men just went out of the body of Lola right there.
00:07:51We actually saw that just a week ago with Blake Monroe, all the air going out of her
00:07:56body and losing her championship.
00:07:58You ain't lying about that.
00:07:59And the new champion, of course, Thea Hale, we will hear from tonight.
00:08:02And to your point, Book, just take a look at the nasty landing.
00:08:05I think maybe something that helped Lola was Lola landing on her hip, not so much her back.
00:08:11Yeah, I think Izzy could have got cover right quick.
00:08:14Izzy talking a little bit of trash, what a way to kick off tonight.
00:08:16I love trash talking, I love it, man.
00:08:18What about our main event tonight, Green Soul for the Women's United States Championship.
00:08:24That's coming up, can Rupert reclaim the gold, but which one of these two women walk away victorious tonight?
00:08:33Throughout the break, Izzy Dame in control of Lola Vice continuing to punish and pound the lower back
00:08:39and start to break down Lola Vice in this matchup.
00:08:42But Book, if you take a deeper look at this match, could this set up a future contender
00:08:47for the NXT Women's Championship, of course, after New Year's Eve?
00:08:50Of course, that's what I was talking about earlier.
00:08:52I mean, this match is so important, and it's a must win for both of these ladies who all are from behind.
00:08:57Oh, wait a minute, because like I say, man, I mean, losing matches is not the way to go.
00:09:01Here we go! Here we go!
00:09:03Still not able to keep Izzy down.
00:09:05We talk about the year-end awards pulling up for Tag Team of the Year,
00:09:08but that is not what Izzy Dame is worried about right now.
00:09:11She's worried about the fists, she's worried about the feet of fury from Lola Vice.
00:09:15Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, oh, educated feet, man!
00:09:22Oh, baby, are we gonna see it?
00:09:25Oh, Jlola-
00:09:27Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:09:28Well, Izzy Dame just ruined your Christmas party with a nice German suplex.
00:09:31Oh, Jlola-Green, ha, ha, ha, ha.
00:09:37Oh, yes!
00:09:38Man!
00:09:38Ball of ice right now right back in control.
00:09:41We go for that side suplex is he doing her best to block what a matchup?
00:09:45This is both women jockeying for position of course in the women's division
00:09:51Izzy who has never shown loyalty been questioned by someone like Lola vice the argument that transpired. Let's hey
00:09:59It's Sean Spears on the outside and oh beers didn't do anything. What are you talking about grab the ankles of Lola vice?
00:10:06And then Lola just got rocked
00:10:11Our official did not see it big mistake
00:10:17What in the world
00:10:26Let's take a pack sleep with a damn chainsaw
00:10:41Back fist
00:10:47And Izzy just took a trip to vice city
00:10:53Here is your winner Lola
00:10:57The fumes right now book
00:11:00I'm absolutely stunned I talked about crafty ways
00:11:09Tatum Paxley ran off Sean Spears with a chainsaw
00:11:12Lola vice delivered a back fist to pick up a victory
00:11:16Here tonight
00:11:18I'm
00:11:23Real
00:11:24Kalani Jordan
00:11:25The hell is going on here?
00:11:27It's Christmas chaos
00:11:28When we talk about the locker room, we talk about the arguments, we talk about all the tension.
00:11:35Here it is.
00:11:36Kalani kicked out of the locker room
00:11:38Kalani kicked out of the locker room
00:11:43Have you ever seen this side of Kalani Jordan?
00:11:49No, no, no, no, no, no, this is the attitude, this is a brand new attitude, get ready for 2026, y'all.
00:11:57Tensions have been building.
00:11:59No doubt Kalani and Lola on a collision course here at NXT.
00:12:16Jordan, there you are.
00:12:17Hey, Thea, I've watched this 100 times from every angle possible, and you clearly won.
00:12:23The ref did his job.
00:12:24Jordan, thank you so much.
00:12:26It means a lot coming from you.
00:12:28I know last week was a little controversial, but I'm going to go address the WWE Universe as your Women's North American Champion.

00:17:05I couldn't believe that I won
00:17:08but I didn't
00:17:11I've always
00:17:14heard people talk about what it's like to be a champion
00:17:17I've seen the smiles
00:17:20I've heard the words
00:17:21I've seen the celebrations
00:17:22but nothing prepares you for what it's like to actually have one on your shoulder
00:17:28I've been NXT Women's North American Champion for a week now
00:17:35and this is the greatest thing of my life
00:17:37you guys have watched me grow up and life's so hard sometimes
00:17:42I was a senior in high school I was an 18 year old girl I got so many opportunities that I never thought I would get so young
00:17:52and all of that led me to this moment all of the lessons Mr. Chase taught me all of the losses all of the championship matches that I've come up short in all of the friendships I've lost have led me here in so many years
00:17:59and so many people doubted me
00:18:00so many people doubted me so many people doubted me so many people doubted me so many people said I couldn't do this but I believe I believed I could have been here in the world
00:18:06in the moment in the moment when it meant most and when you believe and you believe hard enough for myself and I could have been here in the world
00:18:18me here and so many people doubted me so many people said i couldn't do this but i believed
00:18:30i believed in the moment when it meant most and when you believe and you believe hard enough
00:18:37you make history you become the youngest nxt women's north american champion in history
00:18:53growing up in front of the wwe universe has been hard finding your footing as a 20 some year old girl
00:19:02losing yourself and finding yourself at the same time has been difficult it's been messy but it's
00:19:09been real and with this title i finally feel the confidence that i've been lacking i finally feel
00:19:19like a grown ass woman and i want nothing more than to celebrate with each and every
00:19:30thank god
00:19:37who's gonna need to get a doctor in the house here why why you gotta be the grinch i'm just saying man
00:19:44i mean the hell's losing it

00:20:03that that was a fluke that was a mistake an inconvenience that i now have to deal with
00:20:20i never thought the number three would haunt me so much but here we are
00:20:40all that matters now is i want my north american women's championship back right now
00:20:58no sorry blake but it's my north american championship you lost ref counted

00:21:44separated we're gonna need maybe more than the officials out here
00:21:47obviously you can understand why things are so heated
00:21:58after the controversy of last week but does fia truly have blake's number she'll look to prove it again
00:22:07at new year's evil time for tonight's nxt showcase

00:23:01things the guy is an unbelievable athlete i'm grinding i'm hustling i'm doing whatever
00:23:09it takes to reach the top of this business and i will be leaving with that championship around my waist
00:23:13victory is mine
00:23:22sol ruka you've had a roller coaster of a year how would it feel to wrap up 2025 as a united states
00:23:29champion it would feel incredible sarah if 2025 has taught me anything it's that you can't control
00:23:35the waves but you can learn how to ride them and i know how cliche that sounds but i went from being a
00:23:40double champion during wrestlemania week to watching both of them leave my hands without
00:23:46really losing them myself but that's no fault to anyone but again that was the lowest part of my year

00:24:33the following is this man booker another pupil of yours from reality of wrestle yeah man
00:24:57material right now this kid just got that contract to become a part of the id program he's making the
00:25:04best of it down there cut his teeth in the ball but i'm gonna tell you this kid this kid has a bright
00:25:11pipe pipe well the same can be said for his opponent
00:25:33again remember the rules of a speed tournament match three minutes goes on the clock time booker
00:25:39cannot be wasted jasper troy is the man who is waiting in the wings as champion for the winner
00:25:46of this tournament still to come another tournament match andre chase versus lexus king but for jasper
00:25:52troy he's got to be chomping at the bit now jasper definitely is down but who wins this speed
00:25:59tournament he's ready with this kid right here eli knight is getting ready for this kid i talk about
00:26:05time not wanting to be wasted look at eli knight right now 10 seconds into this match already
00:26:08hit two drop kicks oh baby oh baby sticks the landing perfect and you said it already he's been
00:26:17putting in work on evolve which is every wednesday night on to be part of the wwe id program and looking
00:26:23to make short work with a big splash 30 seconds in hooks the leg and an ear fall
00:26:29tonight is looking real good right now with all the attributes eli knight is i mean i mean the kid can do just
00:26:34just about anything he's not going to have any advantages in this ring with tabian heights
00:26:39tabian is just that good this is a bridge that just your man is just going to have to call
00:26:44tabian heights no stranger to winning tournaments just take a look at his amateur background charging
00:26:48right back in going up going over this time is night right back in he's starting to quick in and a nice heel
00:26:54kick right underneath the jaw has 60 seconds gone by and i did not know did you notice night presence
00:27:00of mind to look up at the clock night like i said this kid he's a kid he's a young kid but
00:27:04he's experienced a couple years at reality wrestling under my expert oh my god could this
00:27:11be a cover and another kick out tabian heights said he's been grinding he's been hustling since
00:27:16his arrival he is in for a fight right now i mean that was unbelievable that was innovative that was
00:27:22something brand new i don't think anybody's ever seen anything like that but that's eli knight you're
00:27:26going to see a whole lot more of that from this king under 90 seconds left pump kick connection tonight
00:27:30tion heights is rocked i don't know if he's looking for sliced bread whatever he's looking for oh good
00:27:35god connected center of the ring this could be a moment this could be the biggest win of this young
00:27:40man's short short career if he could just keep his foot on the pedal here we go oh 70 seconds right
00:27:47now no one home high risk there was no reward tabian heights now picking up some momentum and bang big
00:27:54belly to belly at 60 seconds that is it bam the first to move on here is your winner
00:28:06take nothing away from eli knight
00:28:10growing pains man that's all it is growing pains victor think about all the all the action we saw
00:28:17for both these men in just two minutes going back at some of the action that took a lot of risks
00:28:24that was the one that didn't pay off for him and it would be tan dion heights who would make the most
00:28:28of that mistake with this big belly to belly with the victory he now moves on as i said the first one to
00:28:36do so in this speed tournament and you can see the other match it's still to come that's where the
00:28:41question now lies will it be king or will it be chased we will find out later on tonight and of course the
00:28:50winner of this tournament will face jasper troy down the line for the men's speed championship
00:28:56nice show of sportsmanship between these two i like that like this
00:29:08but before new year's evil the challenger leon slater and also the ruler the champion obafemi they come

00:31:25the nxt championship we're currently standing by with kelly kincaid i would like to welcome both the
00:31:32nxt champion oba femi and his challenger at new year's evil tna's x division champion leon slater
00:31:40gentlemen thank you so much for joining me today but oba i would like to start with you because what
00:31:46a dominant year you started it out at new year's evil by winning the nxt championship a title you held
00:31:52for over seven months by the way including main eventing stand and deliver recently you defeated
00:31:58ricky saints to become a two-time nxt champion and even more recently than that you went toe-to-toe
00:32:04with the american nightmare cody rhodes at saturday night's main event as part of john cena's last show
00:32:10so what has this year been like for you kelly 2025 has been a year of success i was able to erase the
00:32:19one blemish that almost ruined the damn near perfect reign every single bold claim that i've
00:32:24made the entire year i've been able to back up with complete excellence and there's no doubt in
00:32:30anybody's mind that for the past two years i have been the ruler of nxt but i wanted to make it a point
00:32:36when i came back in november to show the world that i'm not just the ruler of nxt i'm the ruler of wwe
00:32:43and at saturday night's main event there was a shift in the universe and cody rhodes felt that shift
00:32:52more importantly the wwe universe felt that shift as well and in two weeks this young hungry lion
00:33:01will feel the shift at new year's evil very very strong words from the ruler and leon i can see you
00:33:09smiling yeah because this brother believes every word he says but so do i and don't get me wrong i
00:33:15know it's obafemi i know i'm walking into the biggest match of my life and the most difficult
00:33:20match of my life at new year's evil okay leon slater the youngest in charge everyone knows how young you
00:33:27are everyone has seen you fly around the ring and this wonton 450 is truly a thing of beauty thank you but
00:33:34give a little more insight into the youngest in charge i mean wrestling found me at a very young
00:33:40age i'm not gonna lie and i think i had a void in my life that i needed filling at the time and i
00:33:44couldn't really figure out what it was until i found wrestling and that was it man i mean i remember when
00:33:49my cousin put me onto the video games he put me onto the action figures he put me onto the dvds and i was a
00:33:55sponge for it cuz i mean i started training at nine years old and i know i know it sounds crazy but when
00:34:01it's all you think about when it's all you talk about when it's all you want to do it doesn't
00:34:06sound so mad and i think for myself i understand it's not a normal upbringing for a kid but being
00:34:11the only man in the house being me my mum and my sister the youngest in charge it's it's not just a
00:34:17moniker it's not just a nickname it's what i had to become and it served me pretty well so far i can't
00:34:22lie and i have no intention on slowing down i mean i'm a record breaker i'm a moment maker and in two
00:34:29weeks another big one awaits me leon you have a very inspiring story when you stand across the ring
00:34:38from me your sob story has no happy ending okay buddy you don't gonna give me all that i mean listen
00:34:45i'm not one for the trash talk i let my ability do the speaking for me and y'all speaks volume as well
00:34:51cuz i know new year's evil i guess we're gonna find out who speaks the louder you get me
00:35:00we'll see
00:35:05gentlemen thank you for your time and good luck to both of you
00:35:11oh booker get ready because the tna x division champion looks to become a dual champion
00:35:17femi slater for the nxt championship it happens at new year's evil
00:35:28but there is a man who has been fuming emotions have been flowing we will hear from the young og
00:35:34who looks ready for a fight next
00:35:36well we are back here on nxt you can see security surrounding the ring as we go to our general manager
00:35:50clearly things did not end last week instead they just escalated so now i'm out here with security
00:35:59and both of you asked for this time so let's try it again first javon evans

00:36:26well book it's not the same swag there's no smile javon evans don't business tonight
00:36:33that's what makes me nervous about this kid i mean he's got so much talent but
00:36:37composure is something that you need this bitch
00:36:49and now ricky saints
00:37:07and the more i think about it book it's a really a wise choice by ava to have this extra security out
00:37:14here because these two they're not in the holiday spirit look the light bulb just switched stone
00:37:23for ricky saints that is kid it's all about fitness how do you spell that fee
00:37:32ah it's the slave of death well it certainly is going to be very very interesting
00:37:43and we go ahead and turn this music off go ahead go ahead and turn this music off go ahead and turn this
00:37:48music off i don't i don't even know why we we right here talking we could have been throwing hands outside
00:37:53and we gonna be real oh see that right there is what i'm talking about you don't have the emotional
00:38:01intelligence like me you're too impulsive and for all your shortcomings you're still hyped up as the
00:38:08future of this company you could barely rent a car much less show to the responsibility that it takes to be
00:38:15the face of a brand whereas with me i am the model and you should be modeling yourself after moi after
00:38:24ricky ricky ricky i'm not even gonna lie i'm about to rock you javon no no no no no no no because he
00:38:32knows it didn't have to be like that you know it didn't have to be like that all you had to do was let
00:38:36me handle over you know i had over beat but no no no no ricky saints is is jealous
00:38:45and why is that why are you just i know why i know why because you're not the guy you think you are
00:38:53and we gonna be real i am every bit of the man that i say i am i could go to good morning america
00:39:00hop on an airplane go hand out awards shake hand and kiss babies and you you could barely
00:39:06string two sentences together sounds like you got marbles in your mouth i check every box
00:39:15check every box you know what you know what you might be right but i know i check enough boxes for
00:39:21nick artists and adam pierce to put me on smackdown
00:39:23you haven't been there yet uh uh i know i know i check enough boxes for johnson to put me on his last
00:39:33show talk talking about johnson's last show you wasn't even mentioned
00:39:42you ricky you wasn't even thought about
00:39:49but i'll be real with you i didn't beg these fans i didn't beg
00:39:54this crowd these fans these people to pick me over you
00:39:59and what now i'm supposed to slow down because you can't keep up
00:40:03and we're gonna be real you're tripping and you got your damn mind no no i'm in my right mind
00:40:19if you keep on talking to me like a little kid i'm gonna beat your ass like a grown man okay okay i've had
00:40:24enough listen you two can prove who's better next week for the last time one on one javon evans
00:40:36versus ricky saints and this ends then
00:40:42well that's a smart decision because this has to end booker
00:40:46who will walk away and head into new year victorious saints evans
00:40:54guys look the kendall gray train continues to roll right along now doesn't it so sad it only
00:41:01has two more weeks left of steam before it well it comes to an end no the rank ucc is all about

00:45:28They're in the ring.
00:45:29Shiloh Hill on the outside.
00:45:31I mean, we do have to thank Shiloh Hill for this matchup.
00:45:34I mean, he really is in the holiday spirit.
00:45:36I mean, he's a different type of cat, I can tell you that.
00:45:39He's very smart.
00:45:40But can he fight?
00:45:41That's my question.
00:45:42Can he get down and dirty?
00:45:44That's my question, Vick.
00:45:45We're gonna find out in, ooh!
00:45:47Talk about the Christmas chaos rules.
00:45:50It's simple.
00:45:51There are none.
00:45:52It's Shiloh Hill.
00:45:54Talking about fighting.
00:45:55What do you think of that?
00:45:57Atomic drop.
00:45:59Grace just got out of the way.
00:46:03That was close.
00:46:04That was real close.
00:46:05That was really close.
00:46:06You know, when I had a chance to talk to Stax and Grace earlier, they told me they're
00:46:09wearing 100% genuine Grinch hair in their gear.
00:46:13Got a new power couple around here, man.
00:46:16Power couple.
00:46:17Huge responsibility, man.
00:46:18Got to show up all the amazing nails, all the red carpets, all of that stuff.
00:46:24Trust me, I know.
00:46:25You know, having a queen like strong man.
00:46:27Well, look who's in the box.
00:46:28Help!
00:46:29Well, look who's on the shoulders of Shiloh Hill.
00:46:34Don't do it, son.
00:46:35And look, you know Hill would thrive in any sort of chaos and just trust his partner.
00:46:41And I mean, you know both these superstars from LFG.
00:46:45Yeah, yeah.
00:46:46Like I said, Shiloh Hill, he's a different type of cat.
00:46:49And I'm gonna say, Skylar Rae, she's, here we go, like, look at, check her out.
00:46:53She's like a pit full of lipstick on, man.
00:46:56Uh-oh.
00:46:57She will go, she will bite you.
00:46:59Now look, someone who's seen up close and personal, potential has been the war that has surrounded her.
00:47:07Is that a keyboard?
00:47:08Oh, yes!
00:47:10My!
00:47:11It was all about computers, the internet.
00:47:13Yeah, that's legal too, that keyboard.
00:47:15One of them finds a mouse cord in here, no one uses a mouse.
00:47:18Never mind.
00:47:20Yeah, it's closed.
00:47:22Yeah, forget it.
00:47:23And Shiloh Hill getting right back into this matchup.
00:47:25Oh, candy cane!

00:49:08match continues
00:49:13tis the season for some season beatings here on nxt christmas chaos and throughout the break shiloh
00:49:20hill was actually tied and tangled as you can see with those christmas lights and stacks is
00:49:26through the candy cane over here thanks is all about business next is a champion now man you don't become
00:49:32champion this round people like shiloh hill what gifted grace just get from under the tree
00:49:38turkey man the old turkey a turkey that might be a fried turkey
00:49:44no no no
00:49:53how do you get a turkey
00:50:04He had to wrap it.
00:50:06Look at Hill.
00:50:07The turkey wrapping world.
00:50:09Hill just took out his tooth and Stax did deserve it.
00:50:14And this so-called power couple, right now Stax getting dropped.
00:50:22Ariana Grace is the champion Stax.
00:50:25Shiloh Hill is beating the hell out of the TNA Rational Champion.
00:50:29Don't forget who you are.
00:50:31Look, I don't know how you can call them the power couple because right now they're on
00:50:36the back foot and there comes Reign from the top.
00:50:39Former NFL Big Ten cheerleader and again, the season two winners here at LFG are in control.
00:50:49And his innovative offense, Hill looking to put an end to Christmas chaos.
00:50:55Stax, give him credit, kicked out.
00:50:57Stax is a champion man, he's getting a TNA Rational Champion.
00:51:01He certainly is in some of this action though.
00:51:03He might be rethinking his decision to enter into this match.
00:51:08And right here, there was Reign coming from the top, picture perfect.
00:51:12You feel like, you really think they're a power couple?
00:51:17Yeah, they are.
00:51:18Whoa, whoa, whoa.
00:51:22I almost took out some of these sugars.
00:51:23Watch the cookies man.
00:51:25Watch the cookies, let me get one of those.
00:51:27And now, now that's a gift that'll keep on giving.
00:51:32I got you.
00:51:35And Grace.
00:51:36Whoa.
00:51:37Grace just destroyed this Christmas tree.
00:51:50Shiloh, he'll just destroyed Stax.
00:51:51This is getting chaotic, man.
00:51:53It's Christmas chaos.
00:51:54This is getting chaotic.
00:51:56I got one, sugar cookies for everyone.
00:51:59Book can't have them, they're bad for his cholesterol.
00:52:01Said it.
00:52:01And, oh.
00:52:04That's one way to get payback.
00:52:08He said this was chaos, Book.
00:52:11That's when your woman, that's when your woman got your back.
00:52:14I love it, man.
00:52:17Stax right now, Grace, they're doing what they set out to do.
00:52:20They're really showing that they are a true power couple.
00:52:24Stax is all melted up right now.
00:52:26He certainly is thinking about the beatings he's taken with the cane.
00:52:29And look, we talk about TNA.
00:52:31They didn't win the battle in the steel cage, but they won the war last Thursday.
00:52:35Can the same be said?
00:52:37Wait a minute, wait a minute.
00:52:38I don't need to see this.
00:52:39Kiss.
00:52:40Get the hook.
00:52:45The LFG Season 2 winners came for a fight.
00:52:51What's in the bag?
00:52:52Don't do it, Shiloh.
00:52:53Shiloh, what's in the bag?
00:52:54Don't do it.
00:52:55Don't do it, Shiloh.
00:52:56Look what it is.
00:52:58And I don't put it past that Shiloh Hill hasn't eaten one or two of those.
00:53:02Pine cones.
00:53:03Pine cones?
00:53:04Shiloh Hill's a unique cat, as you said earlier.
00:53:11And right now, he is looking to plant Stax.
00:53:19And Ray to the top, looking to fly.
00:53:22We're gonna clean this up.
00:53:24Got a little froggy.
00:53:25One, two, three.
00:53:27Oh, and the egos just shrunk three sizes for Grayson Stax.
00:53:32Here are your winners, the team of Shiloh Hill and Skylar Reds.
00:53:39Yeah.
00:53:40Oh, what a victory tonight.
00:53:42And that lived up to the holiday billing.
00:53:45That truly was.
00:53:46It is.
00:53:47It's chaotic.
00:53:48It's chaos.
00:53:49It's chaotic.
00:53:50To the victor go the spoils.
00:53:57Well.
00:53:58I don't really feel bad for those two on the outside.
00:54:01They kind of brought it on themselves.
00:54:03But right through that Christmas tree.
00:54:05Right through the table for Stax.
00:54:08You talk about the welts on his back.
00:54:10LFG Season 2 winners came with a fight here tonight to pick up a hard-earned victory in this Christmas Chaos match.
00:54:19And the holidays are certainly being very, very kind to the winning duo from LFG Season 2.
00:54:27Could big things be on the horizon in the new year?
00:54:31All B was trying to say is if it weren't for Joe.
00:54:38Hey, don't say you guys know him.
00:54:39I'll be the new number one contender.
00:54:41And I'll be getting ready to tear up his head off at New Year's Eve.
00:54:43And what do you want me to do about that?
00:54:45Give me Joe Hendry.
00:54:46Say his name and he appears.
00:54:51I believe in Joe Hendry.
00:54:54Have you been in my office the whole time?
00:54:56Lats, why the long faces?
00:54:58I mean, come on.
00:54:59Tis the season to be mad at Mary.
00:55:01Right, after you cost me a title shot, bruh.
00:55:03Don't nobody care about no Christmas right now?
00:55:05Well, look, if Christmas isn't your thing,
00:55:07I hope we have a little bit of positivity going into the new year.
00:55:10It's 2026.
00:55:11I'm about to show you something, I hope.
00:55:13Okay, not here.
00:55:18Come on, let's go.
00:55:23Keep your head on Swivel Hendry. We'll be watching you.
00:55:26Okay, bye-bye.
00:55:29Thank you for not making that worse.
00:55:31No problem.
00:55:32I mean, it actually gives me an idea.
00:55:34I mean, NXT's given so much to me this year.
00:55:37Maybe I should give something back.
00:55:39How about for next week?
00:55:40A Joe Hendry, a performance, a concert with Joe Hendry.
00:55:44Joe Hendry concert.
00:55:46I think everyone will love it.
00:55:48Break a leg.
00:55:50You're welcome.
00:55:51I too believe the masses will love that, but it's time to speed things up once again.
00:55:56Who heads to the finals?
00:55:57Chase or King?
00:55:58We find out next.
00:55:59OTM, not the result you were hoping for against Tank and Tank last week.
00:56:08But with 2025 coming to a close, what's ahead for OTM in 2026?
00:56:12Meet our Kelly, yeah, we took that one to the champ.
00:56:14But we're not going to make no excuses because we know how to spell resilience.
00:56:18And in 2026, we ain't folding.
00:56:20Tank and Tank going to see us again.
00:56:21Right.
00:56:22Yo, Kelly!
00:56:23Technically, we got these gifts for somebody else, but today's your lucky day.
00:56:27Uh, thank you.
00:56:28This is for me?
00:56:29Yeah, it's for you who want to match your green.
00:56:30Yeah.
00:56:31I mean, low-key, I do think you got the better end of the deal, though, because Blake's mad
00:56:34hard to shop for, so we did kind of go crazy on these.
00:56:36Yeah, don't think of it as a re-gifting.
00:56:38It's more like a, uh, free upgrade.
00:56:40Oye, callete losico.
00:56:41So y'all didn't just see us over here talking.
00:56:44Matter of fact, who are you?
00:56:45Bro, first of all, don't appreciate the tone, and we don't know French, buddy.
00:56:50Okay, okay, okay.
00:56:52Jackson Drake, your evolved men's champion.
00:56:55Ricky Smokes.
00:56:56Brad Baylor, the Vanity Project.
00:56:59And, uh, in 2026, we're gonna be bringing a gift to the tag division, actually.
00:57:03That gift's called Swipe Right, buddy.
00:57:05They're right.
00:57:06Interrupt OTM again, and you gonna pay.
00:57:09Right.
00:57:10Um, do you accept gift exchange?
00:57:12Yeah, I understand.
00:57:13I figured you'd pay in pain.
00:57:15I know.
00:57:16Think on that.
00:57:17Uh, thank you, Kelly.
00:57:19We're gonna go.
00:57:20Take that.
00:57:21Oh, thank you.
00:57:23Merry Christmas.
00:57:24But it is time for our second speed tournament match of the night.
00:57:29The following contest is a speed tournament match with a three-minute time limit.
00:57:42The two-minute team first.
00:57:43The two-minute team first.
00:57:44From the three-minute North Carolina, weight 222 pounds.
00:57:46Representing Chase University, Andre Chase!
00:57:52And Chase looking to show his university something tonight.
00:57:57The speed tournament is a lot like a pop quiz.
00:58:00If you're not prepared, you can get caught off guard, and then you're eliminated.
00:58:03But, if you put in the work, and you can stay calm under pressure, you can ace it.
00:58:08So, Kale, Uriah, I hope you're watching.
00:58:11Tonight's lesson might be quick, but for Lexus King, this is a teachable moment.
00:58:18Well, this is the first match since his nasal reconstruction surgery after a training incident with his students.
00:58:25We'll see how Andre Chase and how well he's prepared for this man.
00:58:37And his approach from Cincinnati, Ohio, weighing in at 225 pounds, Lexus King!
00:58:44And he's coming into tonight very confident.
00:58:49You wanna talk about a speed tournament?
00:58:50Well, I'm the king of speed.
00:58:52I'm fast and furious, and I'm on a hot pursuit straight to the speed championship.
00:58:56Andre Chase, you're a pretty cool cat, not gonna lie, but you'd be a hell of a lot cooler in my rearview mirror.
00:59:02And you know what they say, if you're not first, you're last.
00:59:05And tonight, I'm gonna be in first place, top of the leaderboards.
00:59:09Long live Lexus King.
00:59:12Now, Lexus King does look like he's related to Ricky Bobby, but look, when you take a look at this matchup,
00:59:17the winner's gonna face Tavion Heights next week.
00:59:20Heights was victorious earlier tonight.
00:59:22And the winner of that match will be the number one contender for the speed title.
00:59:25This is what King just said.
00:59:26He's fast, he's furious, he comes right out of the gates five seconds in.
00:59:29No, no, I'm gonna tell you right now.
00:59:30This guy, Lexus King, the star of all television, he was built for this dog.
00:59:35I mean, tournament matches.
00:59:37Yes!
00:59:38Right now, Andre Chase, again, he's wearing that protective mask, as I mentioned, off the nasal reconstruction surgery.
00:59:44Not showing any effects.
00:59:45I mean, what happened to him?
00:59:46Ended it covering a kick out, he got injured in training.
00:59:48I mean, what kind of training exhibition was it?
00:59:50You gotta ask his students.
00:59:51I mean, he was trying to prepare Dixon, Connors, the rest of them for their opportunity here on NXT.
00:59:57They're teachable moments.
00:59:58You gotta have surgery.
01:00:00You gotta ask Andre Chase, look, I'll just tell you what I know.
01:00:03You're a journalist, you should be doing stuff like this.
01:00:05You're a journalist too, why don't you know?
01:00:06And we're about one minute into this matchup.
01:00:08And again, it's all about the clock, it's all about speed.
01:00:11Three minutes is the time limit, you gotta keep a close eye on the clock.
01:00:14And look, all joking aside, as you see Chase looking at the clock, is this a chance for him to show his students how to get it done?
01:00:20Lead by example.
01:00:21I didn't even know this guy had a job around it, to be honest.
01:00:24But it is a...
01:00:25End of the cover.
01:00:26It is.
01:00:27Hook of the leg.
01:00:28It certainly is, and we've gotta see how close of those students are watching.
01:00:32Is King talking some smack?
01:00:3360 seconds are off the clock.
01:00:35Again, another cover and a kick out of his house.
01:00:38Did I miss some shows or something?
01:00:39Because I don't, I mean, Andre Chase, what has he done lately?
01:00:41He did.
01:00:42You weren't here the week at Deadline.
01:00:43Okay, that was it.
01:00:44Maybe that was it.
01:00:45Okay, well, I'm looking around right now.
01:00:46I've still got some ornaments around me after that Christmas Chaos match.
01:00:49Swing and a miss from Andre Chase.
01:00:51Too quick, too quick.
01:00:52Bad.
01:00:53Drive by, drive by, cover it, cover it.
01:00:56And another kick out, 90 seconds left.
01:00:58Lexus King who proclaims he is always three steps ahead, believes this tournament is fit for
01:01:03a King.
01:01:04And I have to admit, King has had success under unique stipulations.
01:01:08Looking for the coronation, countered though by Andre Chase.
01:01:11Former Heritage Cup champion.
01:01:13And the thing is, when he won the Heritage Cup champion, they had to change the rules.
01:01:18No, no, he changed the rules.
01:01:20That's what I'm talking about.
01:01:21They had to change the damn rules.
01:01:22I don't know if you just saw, but some of Alexis King's hair was just ripped right
01:01:25out of his scalp.
01:01:26It's coming right back in, goes Andre Chase.
01:01:28Chase goes up, lands on his feet.
01:01:30Beautiful Russian leg sweep.
01:01:32And now going right into a submission.
01:01:34And this is strategy, because there's only 48 seconds left.
01:01:37King knows he can't waste it.
01:01:38If Andre Chase can get the win right here, he's got all my respect.
01:01:42If he can pull this off.
01:01:44King knows he has to get out because time is a factor.
01:01:46Chase knows every second counts, but there's an elbow right to the cheek.
01:01:50What are you looking at?
01:01:51King right back up, Chase to the outside.
01:01:5330 seconds and counting in this matchup.
01:01:55Chase big right hand.
01:01:57Looking for that teachable moment indeed.
01:02:00That's a teachable moment right there.
01:02:02Right to that broken nose, right back into King.
01:02:05Rock-a-bye, baby.
01:02:07With that coronation, 15 seconds on the clock, but King reigns supreme.
01:02:15Here is your winner, Alexis King.
01:02:20And King has had his issues over on TNA, but he is victorious tonight.
01:02:26And now finds himself one win away from a possible championship opportunity.
01:02:31We talked about the nose, the surgery that was done to Chase.
01:02:34King taking full advantage.
01:02:36Oh, baby.
01:02:37Hitting that coronation.
01:02:38Punching his ticket.
01:02:40Winning this match and surviving in this speed tournament.
01:02:44As we take a look at the bracket, the finals certainly are set for next week.
01:02:48King heights, who will become the number one contender for the men's speed championship.
01:03:04I'm the king of speed.
01:03:06I'm back in this locker room.
01:03:07You're gonna have a problem with it?
01:03:08Then let me know.
01:03:09Cause y'all can get exactly what Lola Vice got.
01:03:14What are you looking at?
01:03:15You can get what Lola got too.
01:03:17Damn.
01:03:18You know, I liked her a lot better when she was nice.
01:03:20Well, you know, it ain't nice.
01:03:21I got Lexus King in the speed final, bro.
01:03:24You can pay me, man.
01:03:25No, bro.
01:03:26He just is an ass, man.
01:03:27And I don't know how we get in the same roadblocks.
01:03:29It's like everybody here wants to be at the top of NXT and it's not gonna be as easy as we thought it was, man.
01:03:342026, we gotta come different, Miles.
01:03:36You know, maybe Ethan was like, something's gotta change.
01:03:41There's the two we were looking for, Hanky.
01:03:44Hanky, I remember when at the start of the year we were fighting just to get two stand and deliver.
01:03:49Why'd you like that?
01:03:50As setback after setback after setback.
01:03:51No.
01:03:52Even against these two?
01:03:53Oh, I remember what we do.
01:03:54We flipped the script when we became NXT Tag Team Champions, guys.
01:03:57See ya, boys, the highs are gonna be high and the lows are gonna be low, but just keep going how you're going and you're gonna get to where you get to.
01:04:05Where you get to, folks?
01:04:06Chugga, Chugga, Chugga.
01:04:07It's 2026.
01:04:08Okay, I'm doing it.
01:04:092026.
01:04:10Hey, bro, you know the drill.
01:04:12It's body lock or bust, Ma.
01:04:13And I don't know what they're putting down, bro.
01:04:14Come on, man.
01:04:15Lock in.
01:04:16We got this.
01:04:17You with me?
01:04:18Well, Davion Knight's very confident, but it's the Christmas spirit.
01:04:22But we gotta talk about what's gonna happen after the ball drops because it's the TNA X Division champion Leon Slater.
01:04:28Oh, but Femi face-to-face earlier tonight.
01:04:30What a showdown this will be when the NXT Championship is on the line at New Year's Evil.
01:04:36That, of course, isn't the only title to be defended that night.
01:04:39And there's been a lot of talk between these two women.
01:04:42And the question is, after the first NXT of the New Year, who walks out of New Year's Evil?
01:04:48The NXT Women's Champion.
01:04:52And on the topic of championships, it's time for our main event.
01:04:56WWE Women's United States Championship will be defended.
01:04:59Chelsea Green, Sol Ruka, who leaves with the gold tonight?
01:05:04We find out next.
01:05:05Let's talk about what's coming up next week because we gotta buckle up for this one, Booker.
01:05:14There's no more talk.
01:05:15They went face-to-face earlier.
01:05:17They're gonna go one-on-one.
01:05:19Javon Evans, Ricky Saints.
01:05:21It finally happens next week right here on NXT.
01:05:26Also next week, Ethan Page defends the NXT North American title against TNA wrestler Moose.
01:05:35In the face of the franchise, bring NXT gold across the line to TNA.
01:05:39We'll find out on the final NXT of the year here on The CW.
01:05:47Ahead of her championship match at New Year's Evil, our champion JC Jane will face Ren Sinclair.
01:05:53Can Jane build momentum towards New Year's Evil?
01:05:58And we will be in the holiday spirit once again.
01:06:01Don't miss Joe Hendry's New Year's Eve concert.
01:06:06Can't think of a better way to ring in the New Year.
01:06:08Don't miss next week here on NXT.
01:06:23Don't miss Joe Hendry.
01:06:24Don't miss Joe Hendry.

01:06:45Don't miss Joe Hendry.
01:06:46Don't miss Joe Hendry.
01:06:47Well, this has been the one we have been waiting for.
01:06:52Book, How Should Soul Use Saturday Night's Main Event as Momentum?
01:06:57I mean, you gotta understand, this is the ultimate, ultimate test.
01:07:01Excuse me.
01:07:03Just a moment.
01:07:04Let me hold on.
01:07:05What do you mean?
01:07:06No, let me hold my cover for a second.
01:07:17You have nothing to say?
01:07:25No, no, I'm soaking it all in, man.
01:07:28Soaking what in?
01:07:29This is Chelsea Green, champ, champ.
01:07:31I mean, look here, supporting power to gold.
01:07:34I'm talking about looking real good at the same time.
01:07:38Yes, man.
01:07:40Am I allowed to speak yet or
01:07:44I still got a- Go out of here.
01:07:45Still soaking it in right now.
01:07:46You got some bullet points you need to hit.
01:07:49Well, this is someone who is never in the holiday spirit unless the gifts are
01:07:53being given to her soul.
01:07:55And sorry, I don't feel too worried at this juncture.
01:07:58But this is certainly a massive main event- Stand up.
01:08:02Stand up, man.
01:08:06What has gotten into you?
01:08:09Let's go up to our ring announcer, Mike Rome.
01:08:11Let's go up to our ring announcer!

01:08:26One fall-
01:08:26One fall-
01:08:26Is for the Women's United States championship.
01:08:29Introducing the challenger from Honolulu, Hawaii, Saul Ruka.
01:08:32Honolulu, Hawaii, Saul Ruka.
01:08:43And her opponents, she is one half of the Triple A Mixed Tag,
01:08:49and the Women's United States Champion, Chelsea Green.
01:09:02All the hard work, all the hard work Chelsea put in.
01:09:06Are you in the cabinet?
01:09:07What do you do?
01:09:08Are you trying to?
01:09:09I'm just speaking facts here, man.
01:09:12I don't know, something seems a little bit off.
01:09:14It is all about the Women's United States Championship
01:09:19against Seoul beat Bayley in D.C., quite a matchup.
01:09:22You were there, that was certainly a statement win.
01:09:23No, no, no, back to my point, that was the ultimate test for Seoul Ruka,
01:09:27going out there beating a general like Bayley in the middle of that square circle.
01:09:31The way she did it, so convincing.
01:09:34So, she moved up a tenfold in my book.
01:09:37Well, look, who did you beat for your first significant victory?
01:09:40I mean, what did that do for your confidence?
01:09:42You better go way back at Texas Ranger by the name of Killer Tim Brooks.
01:09:46Once you beat Killer Tim Brooks, you knew you was on your way.
01:09:49You had something in this business.
01:09:51And I'm gonna tell you right now, Seoul Ruka beating somebody like Bayley,
01:09:54someone who has been champion on multiple occasions.
01:09:57Definitely tells her that she can do it too.
01:10:00She can be a legend in this business.
01:10:02All she has to do is keep her eyes on the prize.
01:10:06Seoul Ruka now trying to hoist up and overpower Chelsea Green.
01:10:15Chelsea screaming, help me.
01:10:16There is no helping you as she just got planted.
01:10:19And Seoul right now, so unique in her offense,
01:10:23looking to have a little fun at the expense of Chelsea Green.
01:10:26Could be looking for that submission to put gold around her waist once more.
01:10:31I mean, this right here is for the United States Championship.
01:10:35Right here, Seoul Ruka.
01:10:36This is a pivotal, pivotal moment for her.
01:10:38If she can win this, she catapults straight to the main roster
01:10:42with a win here tonight.
01:10:44You can say that to get nominated for Female of the Year,
01:10:46the NXT End of the Year Awards.
01:10:49Obviously, the winners will be announced next week.
01:10:51And, oh, face first goes Chelsea.
01:10:53Seoul Ruka right now certainly is riding the wave of momentum.
01:10:56And, you know, we heard her talk earlier.
01:10:58At a point this year, she's...
01:11:01I don't know why you're talking to Alba and Ethan.
01:11:04You used to be worried about Seoul Ruka.
01:11:06What's going on here now?
01:11:08The Canadian standard of excellence on the first side.
01:11:10Just doing a job, Vic. She's just doing a job.
01:11:13Yeah, Zari trying to run a little bit of interference.
01:11:15Ethan Page not gonna like what he sees.
01:11:18That's the ultimate equalizer back into the ring.
01:11:21What do you mean, what the hell?
01:11:23They shouldn't be putting their hands on anyone in the ring.
01:11:25Let them go to work by themselves.
01:11:27Eric Sanders, the official.
01:11:29A lot going on in this matchup.
01:11:31As a championship...
01:11:33Chelsea!
01:11:35That's one way to salute.
01:11:37Chelsea Green talking a little bit of smack,
01:11:41looking out into the universe.
01:11:43Finally pledging allegiance to herself
01:11:45and right back in with a big forearm.
01:11:47As I was saying, at this point,
01:11:49Sol Ruka this year was a double champion.
01:11:51Women's North American Champion.
01:11:53The Women's Speed Champion.
01:11:55She never lost those titles.
01:11:57She loved obviously putting gold back around her waist here tonight.
01:11:59Seems like it was such a long time ago, right?
01:12:01I mean, Sol Ruka had everything going for a double champ.
01:12:05I mean, working on becoming tag team champs.
01:12:07Seems like she wanted it all at the same time.
01:12:09My thing is this, wanting too much on the plate.
01:12:14Was that the problem?
01:12:15Was that the problem?
01:12:16Was trusting too much?
01:12:18Was that the problem?
01:12:19You answered the question?
01:12:20Yes!
01:12:21But the problem right now is Sol Ruka has wiped out everyone.
01:12:25The momentum in her side.
01:12:27Are we about to witness a brand new WWE Women's
01:12:31United States Champion get crowned here tonight?
01:12:44WWE Women's United States Championship is on the line.
01:12:47The champion Chelsea Green from SmackDown has been in control throughout the break.
01:12:51And right now has Sol Ruka tangled and tied up right here dropping out of the fire.
01:12:57Obviously, during the break there was a numbers advantage.
01:13:00And then bam, Chelsea Green turning things around.
01:13:03Should've been a three count right there.
01:13:04I thought the ref was a little late on the count right there.
01:13:08But let me tell you something, Chelsea Green, she's champion.
01:13:11She's champion for a reason.
01:13:12She didn't slip on a banana peel.
01:13:14She didn't win this championship or get by osmosis or anything like that.
01:13:18All the hard work over the years.
01:13:21All the combination of time putting in business is the reason why she's champ champ right now.
01:13:26Wait a minute.
01:13:27Let's go champ.
01:13:28Let's go champ.
01:13:29Let's go champ.
01:13:30It has nothing to do with Alba Fire and Ethan Page who have stuck their nose in before the break.
01:13:34During the break.
01:13:35I'm sure they're gonna stay out there.
01:13:36What are you talking about?
01:13:37What are you talking about right now, Chelsea?
01:13:39Did you not just see the replay?
01:13:40I didn't see anything.
01:13:41I didn't see anything out of violence or anything like that.
01:13:43It's crazy that Green thinks there's always conspiracies against her from any general manager,
01:13:47whether it's Nick Aldis, whether it's Anna Pierce, whether it's Ava.
01:13:50I mean, come on.
01:13:51You tell me.
01:13:52Why is Chelsea Green defending her championship in the middle of this ring here tonight
01:13:56against Solunga?
01:13:57One of the hottest prospects in all of WWE right now.
01:14:01There's got to be a reason why to get that championship from around her waist.
01:14:06Come on.
01:14:07You're not too naive.
01:14:08You're not too far gone to know that, Vic.
01:14:10Come on, man.
01:14:11Look, I hear what you're saying, Brooke, and I'm surprised you can get that all out without
01:14:15having to take a breath.
01:14:16But for Sol Ruka right now, let's go.
01:14:18Because I'm hot.
01:14:19Because I'm hot.
01:14:20For Sol Ruka right now, she should be a little bit angry, a little bit hot too, right?
01:14:24You heard what she said about those titles.
01:14:26She never lost them.
01:14:27She'd love to win one back in grand fashion.
01:14:29Chelsea be out.
01:14:30Chelsea be out.
01:14:31That certainly could be the knockout blow to none.
01:14:35And Chelsea Green, like her, hate her.
01:14:38She obviously does have some resiliency to her.
01:14:42She is, as you said, a double champ.
01:14:44She's also the only two-time Women's United States champion.
01:14:47Chelsea, she took a big shot right there.
01:14:49She hated it, but it just shows me how tough Chelsea Green truly is.
01:14:54That's why she's like the Iron Lady of the WWE, holding onto that championship.
01:15:00Sol Ruka having to roll right through, coming right back in, and-
01:15:03Big time.
01:15:04Ruka right here connects to retain, and Sol able to kick out.
01:15:08It was Green who defeated Julia in November.
01:15:10Her first reign lasted 130 days.
01:15:13She's gone on to win the Triple-A mixed tag.
01:15:15Say it again.
01:15:16Who'd she beat?
01:15:17Who'd she beat?
01:15:18Julia.
01:15:19That's right.
01:15:20One of the hottest prospects of our gear in all of the WWE.
01:15:24That's it.
01:15:25Chelsea Green is top notch.
01:15:27There you see Ethan Page, the reigning North American champion.
01:15:30Looking for the unprettier though.
01:15:31Hit counter though by Sol Ruka.
01:15:32Sol taking the champion down.
01:15:34Half second away from crowning a new champion here on NXT.
01:15:37Big back elbow by the challenger.
01:15:39Ruka now looking to go high risk one more time.
01:15:41Got caught in a big German suplex.
01:15:44The momentum almost put Ruka back onto her feet.
01:15:48Chelsea was about to catch that soul snatcher, but she was one step ahead, baby.
01:15:54Chelsea just trying to get her wits back about her.
01:15:58Right now, bam, and there's an elbow miss from Chelsea Green.
01:16:03Sol Ruka in control now.
01:16:05Action just picking up all over the place.
01:16:08And Sol to the top.
01:16:11And Sol looking for a big cartwheel DDT.
01:16:17Haven't seen that in a minute.
01:16:19Will it be enough?
01:16:20And-
01:16:21Wow.
01:16:22Where was all the-
01:16:23Kelsey Green right there was unbelievable.
01:16:25What in the-
01:16:26Hell no.
01:16:27It was Ethan Page taking his damn nose in this match again.
01:16:30It's Moose from TNA, the man who will challenge Ethan Page for the North American Championship next week.
01:16:47But we still got a championship match going on right now.
01:16:49So looking for the soul snatcher, elbow fire.
01:16:52The referee didn't see elbow fire.
01:16:54The referee didn't see elbow fire.
01:16:55But he certainly saw the elbow fire.
01:16:58Not like this.
01:16:59One, two, three.
01:17:01Green survives.
01:17:06Here's your winner, and still, the WWE Women United States Champion, Chelsea Green.
01:17:19And I'm sure she's so proud of herself and everything she accomplished Booker on her own tonight.
01:17:32Dynamite dropping as Chelsea Green retains the championship tonight.
01:17:36Going back to some of the action.
01:17:37There was this big cartwheel DDT.
01:17:39Thought this would be the moment.
01:17:41The referee's vision was blocked by looking at the shoulders.
01:17:45Ethan Page weaseled in to put the foot on the rope.
01:17:49But then Ethan getting the surprise of a lifetime.
01:17:51The man he'll face next week for his championship.
01:17:54TNA's Moose crossed the line to try to even the odds for a moment.
01:17:59But Zaria was pulled away from ringside.
01:18:02She did not see, nor did the referee elbow fire.
01:18:05And that momentary hesitation opened the door for Bam!
01:18:10The unpretty fur to be cinched in by Chelsea Green, who survives and retains here tonight.
01:18:22The Canadian standard of excellence keeps the gold just a little bit longer.
01:18:29Spear!
01:18:30Spear!
01:18:39And so now, a double soul snatcher for the holidays.
01:18:46Well, that's certainly one way to cap the night.
01:18:55But let's talk about what's gonna happen next week here on the final NXT of 2025.
01:19:03Because these two finally go one-on-one.
01:19:05After everything that's gone on over the last several weeks, who stands tall?
01:19:10Saints, Evans, next week here on NXT.
01:19:13And we just saw these two, and we're gonna see them again next week.
01:19:18But this time, Ethan Page's NXT North American Championship is on the line.
01:19:23Can Ethan Page survive?
01:19:25Or will a TNA wrestler wear NXT gold?
01:19:29We'll find out next week.
01:19:31And I know everyone's musical ears are gonna be peaked and perked
01:19:35because it's Joe Hendry's New Year's Eve Eve concert.
01:19:39You do not want to miss the final NXT of the year next Tuesday here on NXT.
01:19:47But it wasn't a victory tonight for Sol Ruka.
01:19:51But standing with her best friend, they're riding the wave.
01:19:55There's never a dull moment for Sol Ruka.
01:19:58Merry Christmas, happy holidays from all of us here at NXT.
