WWE NXT Preview for December 16, 2025: Confirmed Matches, Start Time and How to Watch

The December 16 episode of WWE NXT is expected to be a big show. It will continue building storylines as the company moves toward 2026, and fans can look forward to a strong and exciting episode from start to finish.

NXT Women’s North American Championship: Blake Monroe (c) vs. Thea Hail

Last week, Blake Monroe held an open challenge for the NXT Women’s North American Championship. However, nearly the entire women’s locker room came out instead. During all the chaos, Thea Hail blindsided Monroe and made her tap out. Thus, Hail will now challenge Monroe for the NXT Women’s North American Championship on this week’s show, so we’ll have to see how she will fare against Monroe.

#1 Contenders Fatal Four-Way Match for NXT Championship: Dion Lennox vs. Joe Hendry vs. Leon Slater vs. Myles Borne

A Fatal Four-Way match will determine the next challenger for Oba Femi’s NXT Champion, featuring Dion Lennox, Joe Hendry, Leon Slater, and Myles Borne. Considering the in-ring skills of all four competitors, it’s anyone’s game, and so it remains to be seen who’ll earn the right to challenge The Ruler.
