Je’Von Evans invoked his NXT championship match which he
earned the right to at Deadline on NXT last night but once
again came up short as Oba Femi retained the title after
Ricky Saints screwed the Young OG.
Evans had the match won after delivering two cutters in a
row but as the referee’s hand was coming down for the three-
count, Saints pulled the referee out, breaking the pin in
the process.
The champion eventually recovered and destroyed Evans with a
big lariat and the Fall From Grace finisher to retain the
title.
With Evans out of New Year’s Evil, a fatal four-way match
has been set to determine the new number one contender for
that show. NXT General Manager Ava announced that the match
will involve Dion Lennox, Joe Hendry, Myles Borne, and TNA’s
Leon Slater, all of whom had one point at the Iron Survivor
Challenge match during the weekend.
