The December 9 episode of NXT was quite an episode, and it included a lot of fallout after Deadline. This included wrapping up the night with a serious match.
Je’Von Evans won the Iron Survivor Challenge match at Deadline. That means he had a match against Oba Femi at New Year’s Evil on January 6. However, Evans couldn’t wait.
The main event of NXT this week saw Oba Femi put his title on the line against Je’Von Evans. This match came down to the wire, and it looked like Evans was going to win the title, but then Ricky Saints pulled Evans out of the ring out of nowhere.
After that distraction, Oba Femi leveled Je’Von Evans, and he planted him down with a Fall From Grace to retain the title. This was a heartbreaking loss for the Young OG, because he nearly had the title won.
This loss also blew Je’Von Evans’ chances at an NXT Title match after his Iron Survivor Challenge victory. Ricky Saints looked Oba Femi over in serious fashion after this match, as he screwed Je’Von Evans out of a big win.
We will have to see how this all turns out for the NXT Title scene. We have a new #1 contender match scheduled for next week already, so Evans’ chance is done.
