Next week’s WWE NXT episode promises some high-octane action! Here’s what the audience can expect based on the recent episode leading up to this Tuesday.
Eddy Thorpe made his presence felt during a segment between Oba Femi and Trick Williams. He accused Femi of having attacked him previously and lashed out at Trick for not taking more responsibility and finding out who was behind his attack. This resulted in Williams becoming impatient with Thorpe’s accusations, offering him a title shot to solidify his status as champion.
In a surprise turn of events, Thorpe revealed, while signing the contract in Ava’s office, that he had not been attacked at all. He admitted to playing everyone in order to manipulate the situation and score a title match “without having to endure 25 minutes of hell” .
In another saga involving The Super Sonic Duo, Axiom and Nathan Frazer, the duo accidentally scheduled Axiom for a double bout. Axiom expressed his desire to face Oba Femi in retribution for the defeat he had given Nathan Frazer at NXT Deadline in the Iron Survivor Challenge match. Meanwhile, Frazer planned a tag team title defense to counterbalance Axiom’s efforts in their last title match. The result? Axiom will fight two matches, first against Oba Femi, and then in defense of the NXT Tag Team Championship along with Frazer against Gallus.
Moreover, Meta-Four’s Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend will square off against Sol Ruca and Zaria in a tag team match. This follows a backstage argument where Legend and Jackson criticized Ruca and Zaria, claiming they could have won the Iron Survivor Challenge, unlike the other two.
Although not officially advertised yet, there is an anticipation of a six-woman tag team match featuring Shotzi, Gigi Dolin, and Tatum Paxley against Fatal Influence, either in this episode or the December 24th installment (which is expected to be pre-recorded following next Tuesday’s airing).
Here’s what the line up for the upcoming WWE NXT episode looks like:
– NXT Championship Match: Trick Williams (Reigning Champion) against Eddy Thorpe
– NXT Tag Team Championship Match: Axiom & Nathan Frazer (Current Champions) up against Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang)
– Axiom versus Oba Femi
– Tag team bout: Sol Ruca & Zaria against Lash Legend & Jakara Jackson
