The December 9th episode of NXT delivered an intense show filled with fallout from Deadline, culminating in a fiercely contested main event. Jevon Evans, who won the Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline and was set to face Oba Femi for the title on January 6th at New Year’s Evil, didn’t wait for the scheduled match.
Instead, the main event featured Oba Femi defending his title against Jevon Evans in a tightly fought contest. Evans seemed poised to claim the championship until Ricky Saints abruptly pulled him out of the ring. This interference allowed Oba Femi to strike Evans down at Fall from Grace and retain his title, crushing Evans’ hopes of winning the belt.
Evans’ loss also ended his opportunity to challenge for the NXT title following his Iron Survivor Challenge victory. After the match, Ricky Saints gave Oba Femi a serious look, having played a crucial role in denying Evans a significant win. With a new number one contender’s match already scheduled for the following week, Evans’ chance at the title is now likely over.
