WWE NXT Results: Top star's career "over;" former champ returns after 301 days; major name to quit? (12/10/2024)
Giulia kicked off WWE NXT and said that now that she was the Iron Survivor, she was going to go on to win the NXT Women's Championship from Roxanne Perez at New Year's Evil. Roxanne came out and said that Giulia only won since they ran out of time and that she wouldn't even make it to the event in the first place.
Cora Jade showed up, and we saw footage of Stephanie Vaquer being laid out backstage. Cora took credit for the attack on Vaquer and joined Roxanne as they surrounded Giulia in the ring.
Kelani Jordan showed up to make the save and sent Jade and Perez running before the show moved on.
Tony D'Angelo offered Ethan Page a North American Championship match tonight. Ethan initially refused but then came around to accepting the match. Page said this was his last chance, and if he lost the title match, his career would be "pretty much over."
Backstage on NXT, Lexis King asked Charlie Dempsey for a Heritage Cup match, and Dempsey said he would think about it.
