TNA star and X Division champion Leon Slater won the fatal
four-way number one contenders match for the NXT title last
night, defeating Dion Lennox, Myles Borne, and Joe Hendry.
With this win, the young British star earned a shot at the
NXT title on Tuesday, January 6 at the New Year’s Evil
broadcast.
The ending of the match came after Slater hit his swanton
450 splash finisher on Borne while Hendry and Lennox brawled
outside.
After the match, NXT champion Oba Femi came out for a
staredown.
The main event for New Year’s Evil was supposed to be Femi
vs Je’Von Evans, who won the Iron Survivor Challenge match
to earn the shot but Evans cashed in his opportunity last
week and got screwed over by Ricky Saints.
