After last night’s WWE NXT Deadline Pay-Per-View, the company announced two major title matches for the upcoming NXT New Year’s Evil special.
Newly crowned WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi, known as “The Ruler of NXT,” will defend his title against Je’Von Evans, referred to as “The Young OG.” In addition, Fatal Influence’s WWE NXT Women’s Champion Jacy Jayne will defend her title against Kendal Grey, the WWE EVOLVE Women’s Champion.
