Good evening Fight Fans, and welcome to our coverage for tonight’s edition of WWE NXT!

The former North American champion Damian Priest comes out next and says that they’d have a marquee match before having an exchange of words with both Kyle and Pete. Damian, Pete and Kyle argue while Finn leaves the ring and goes up the ramp before saying that he’s leaving it up to NXT General Manager William Regal to decide who he defends against at New Year’s Evil.
