WWE NXT Results, live recap, and grades: WWE Legend INTERFERES in Championship match! HUGE change to major title match after LAST week's controversial ending!

Bets are now open for who pins Eddy Thorpe in two weeks!!

FULL RESULTS FOR WWE NXT FOR DECEMBER 24TH, 2024.
STEPHANIE VAQUER defeats Cora Jade by pin.
LEXIS KING defeats Charlie Dempsey by disqualification to win the Heritage Cup.
THE UNHOLY UNION (ALBA FYRE/ISLA DAWN) defeats Fatal Influence (Jazmyn Nyx/Jacy Jayne) by pin.
ASHANTE ADONIS defeats Dion Lennox by pin.
OTM (BRONCO NIMA/LUCIEN PRICE) defeats NQCC (Myles Borne/Tavion Heights), Stacks Lorenzo/Luca Crusifino, and Hank Walker/Tank Ledger by pin.

Eddy goes for Trick but Trick ducks. Thorpe hits Femi instead. Oba wrecks shop, powerbombing the Champ. He attempts the same but Thorpe escapes. The fans boo him for escaping a powerbomb. Femi holds the title up to end the show.

Oba and Trick argue about who's better and who'll be the Champ in two weeks. Trick says "we'll have a triple threat match" in two weeks. Both men have told Eddy to shut up like five times even though his leg was under the ropes. Ava walks out to make the match official.

A real face Champ would have seen that he/she didn't win clean or definitively and give a rematch.

NXT Champ Trick Williams comes out but can't get a word out because Oba Femi cuts him off. Femi tries to talk but HE'S cut off by Eddy Thorpe. Thorpe rightfully points out that even if Oba doesn't care about last week, he does. He didn't get pinned and his foot was under the rope. There was too much going on. Trick then heels it up like usual by saying that the thought of Eddy Thorpe being on his level is a joke. Nice face Champ there.

Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe randomly come out to attack Hank and Tank. They fight to the back. Luca and Stacks hit a Shatter Machine on Price. A random person dressed as Santa hits a DDT on Tony D'Angelo. It was Ridge Holland. The distraction allows OTM to hit a finishing move on Stacks for the win.
Result - OTM defeats Stacks/Luca Crusifino, Hank Walker and Tank Ledger, and Myles Borne/Tavion Heights by pin.

GRADE - B-.
The action was good in spots but was carried by NQCC and The Family. It was fast-paced but hard to follow at points. OTM doesn't feel like the right team to take the belts off FrAxiom if that's the end game.

Price drops Borne on a chair with a chokeslam. Nima slams Heights on the chair before setting up a table. OTM sends Borne through the table. Instead of doing more damage they jaw jack in his face. Hank and Tank come in to take advantage. They drop Nima and Price with shoulderblocks.

Luca trips Borne with an oversized candy cane like he's Danny DeVito from Batman Returns. Anyone else wondering where Edris Enofe and Malik Blade are?

Borne and Heights trap Price in Christmas ribbon. Heights and Borne blast opponents with Kendo Sticks. Hank and Tank rush in to send them from the ring. They hit Honk Honk Splash but Nima breaks things up for a second. NQCC comes back in with the weapons.

Stacks goes for a Pescado over the ropes but NQCC catch him and put him through a table. Lucien Price tries to pop Myles Borne up but he counters into an RKO for a near fall.

Stacks hits a Cannonball before Adriana Rizzo hands Luca a bowling ball in a box. He sends it into Hank's crotchial region.

Hank and Tank come to the ring in a shopping cart. Stacks throws some "snowballs" at Hank and Tank as they try to make it into the ring. They start a Santa chant instead of wrestling in a wrestling match. Stacks and Luca bash them with presents.

The NXT Year-End Awards are announced for next week. Yay. Kelani Jordan vs. Lola Vice is booked for next week. We also get a trainwreck tag team match next week featuring Shotzi/Gigi vs. Lash/Jakara vs. Katana/Kayden.

Ethan Page cuts a promo about his actions from last week. He says that everyone is mad that he hurt "NXT's Favorite Son, Je'Von Evans" last week. He's not wrong. That kid has had every legend come in and interact with him like X-Pac, RVD, Randy Orton, etc. He says Evans talked about his personal life so he got the "Real Ethan Page" as he was sitting in the ring in pain. Last week was the highlight of Ethan Page's year since he took Evans' smile.

They aren't gonna bring back the NXT Women's Tag titles are they???

The D'Angelo Family comes out with presents for the crowd ahead of the Fatal Fourway.

Sarah Schreiber interviews Lexis King backstage about his big win. He says he knew he could win cleanly and not resort to low-handed tactics. He doesn't let Schreiber ask many questions because he's still wrapping his head around the big win.

We get a video package featuring NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez. It seems like she hasn't been on TV much for the last month. She says WWE didn't realize they made one of the best free agent signings in history when they signed her to a deal. She's already making history and breaking history at the age of 23. They show many of her opponents, including Meiko Satumura, who she faced earlier in her first reign.

Backstage, ShotzPaxLin is basking in their earlier antics. They encounter Kayden and Katana. Lash and Jakara crash the party because all these ladies don't know what to do.

Hank and Tank talk backstage about their four-team match later tonight. Tank talks so fast that it seems like he has to take a poop.

Lennox almost clotheslines Adonis out of the ring. He hits a big toss and a Spinebuster but doesn't go for the pin. He hits a big powerslam right in front of Lyons and she puts Adonis's leg on the rope. The two exchange roll-ups with Adojnis getting the win.
Result - Ashante Adonis defeats Dion Lennox by pin.

Grade: C-.
The match had potential and Lennox looked good in spurts. It just had little heat and too many stop/start moments.

Booker immediately focuses on the 'brick house' that just came out, like he should. Lennox goes for a backslide for a near fall. Adonis hits a back elbow.

Lennox sends Adonis flying to start the match. He adds a big dropkick and back bodydrop. How long before the lovesick puppy Karmen comes out. Nevermind. Nikkita Lyons jiggles out to everyone's delight.

Time for the next chapter in NXT High as the man who thinks he is God's gift to women, Ashante Adonis, takes on Dion Lennox. He's a former collegiate athlete, so Vic of course calls him a 'standout.'

This match was a messy, overbooked disaster.

Myles and Tavion talk before the big tag team match. We pivot to Zaria and Sol trying to work over how they lost last week to Lash and Jakara. Izzi Dame then walks in wearing a fur coat and puffy hat. She says she didn't get anywhere in a team and neither should Zaria. Shawn Spears and his minions then walk in and try to talk to Izzi but she tells them to stop stalking her.

Dawn tries to make the tag but stalls forever. She finally makes it to Fyre, who hits a DDT on Nyx. Kacy and Kayden came down from the crowd. Fyre hits a kick on Nyx, but Jacy breaks up the pin. Fyre and Nyx fight in the ring. Jayne hits a Pump Kick on Alba but both women hit the mat when attempting a headbutt. Fallon Henley runs over to Kayden and Kacy to ask why they're here. The ref forgets he's a ref and tries to stop the women from arguing. In the ring, Gigi pushes Jacy off the top, allowing the Unholy Union to hit their Gory Bomb/Flatliner combo for the win.
Result - The Unholy Union defeats Fatal Influence (Jacy Jayne/Jazmyn Nyx) by pin.

GRADE: C-.
The match was sloppy and too slow for most of it. The random arrival of so many other women took away from the match.

Fatal Influence has Isla Dawn isolated. Nyx hits her first-ever non kick move when she hits a Perfect Plex for two. She goes right back to a jumping kick for two.

Gigi, Shotzi, and Tatum come out to distract Jazmyn Nyx. Shawn Spears and his cronies are watching backstage. They leave the TV area.

Dawn easily overpowers Nyx early on. Jacy tags in but gets hit with a suplex. Alba Fyre tags in to trap Jacy in the ropes. Fyre blasts her with a kick for a near fall. Alba lands some chops but Nyx tags in off a blind tag. She hits a soccer kick since most of her moves are kicks.

Santa is in the crowd with Katana Chance and Kayden Carter. I guess since the Unholy Union came to NXT, they have to follow. What was the point of drafting them both then??

Isla Dawn gets her first match on TV in what feels like months.

Up next is the Unholy Union taking on Fatal Influence's Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx.

Backstage, Kelani Jordan is mouthing off to Stephanie Vaquer. She said she should have left and not come back to the ring so she could bash Cora Jade. Lola Vice comes in to calm her down as well but Jordan isn't listening to anyone. She claims they have no right to help her or tell her what to do. Talking isn't her strong suit . . .

OTM cuts a pre-match promo calling themselves the "realest team" in NXT. Are the other teams not reams?? They then rundown Christmas as fake.

GRADE: B+.
These rounds matches aren't the most exciting but the right pairing can make them better. This happened with King and Dempsey. Good chemistry and storytelling.

Round 3 came and went during the commercial break, displaying another issue with these rounds matches. King traps Dempsey with a headlock. The men trade chops before King hits a Northern Lights Suplex with a bridge for two. King lands a crossbody off the top for a near fall. An exchange of Euro Uppercuts follows. King hits a Superkick and Dempsey responds with a knee. Both men collide and fall to the mat. Wren checks on Dempsey while Regal hands the brass knucks to King. King refuses them before decking King. Dempsey picks them up and the ref disqualifies Dempsey.
Result - Lexis King becomes the New Heritage Cup Champion by defeating Charlie Dempsey by disqualification.

King blasts Dempsey with a Superkick and a flying reverse crossbody off the top for a near fall. Dempsey hits a German Suplex with a bridge for another near fall. Dempsey traps King in a modified Bow and Arrow to end the second round. He lands a few kicks after the bell.
King 0, Dempsey 0 after two rounds.

Dempsey sends King into a turnbuckle off an Irish Whip. He lands a gut-wrench suplex for two. He works King's back until King lands a few chops to the chest. Dempsey picks King up and drops him before locking in a single-leg Boston Crab. Charlie forces King down by wrenching back on the knee. King escapes by kicking Dempsey in the face.

Both men trade some counters early on. King hits a dropkick early on. The trade holds and pin attempts. Dempsey traps King with a Cravat as Round 1 runs out. King holds onto a headlock after the bell. The two fight on as the ref tries to break it up.
Dempsey 0, King 0 - After Round 1.

Up next is the Heritage Cup match between Champion Charlie Dempsey and challenger Lexis King w/ Mr Regal. Wren Sinclair comes out to corner Charles.

Kelani Jordan also blindsided Jade after the match was over, blasting her with a Kendo Stick. Vaquer ran back to the ring to pull her off of Jade.

The D'Angelo Family has an Xmas story where some kid from the neighborhood broke into Stacks' house but his mutha chased him away with a broomstick. Mr. Regal then walks up to Lexis King ahead of his Heritage Cup match with Charlie Dempsey. Regal asks if he can stand in King's corner tonight but King politely declines. He walks off as Regal pulls out a pair of brass knuckles.
