NXT has crowned a couple of new #1 contenders for the brand’s top titles in the latest series of house shows following New Year’s Evil.

The latest NXT TV special on January 7 saw the start of a new era as both Oba Femi and Giulia became the new NXT Champion and NXT Women’s Champion respectively.

This show was followed by a January 10 House Show from Dade City where the Black & Silver brand held a Women’s Rumble match to determine the new #1 contender for the Women’s title.

The bout featured names such as Nikkita Lyons and Stephanie Vaquer but in the end, it was Lola Vice who outlasted all the other talents to earn a shot at Giulia’s title.

Vice wasn’t the only one who won a title shot at a non-televised event this week, however, and Eddy Thorpe also picked a battle royal victory during the January 11 Live Event from Jacksonville, Florida.

Thorpe was involved in the triple-threat match at New Year’s Evil where Femi won the NXT title. Eddy ended up hitting the reigning champion Trick Williams with a chair during the ending spot which allowed the Nigerian star to pick up the victory.

It’s unknown if the contenders will receive their title shots on TV. Though NXT under Shawn Michaels is known for experimenting with the formula. So it’s very likely that these results will be acknowledged at the upcoming episode of the show.

Jaida Parker and Lola Vice have traded their final barbs ahead of the pair’s confrontation in NXT Underground as part of tonight’s Deadline event. The pair have traded attacks in recent weeks, with Parker even using a brick during the latest WWE NXT.

On Busted Open Radio, Parker was asked if she regrets antagonizing Vice, a former MMA fighter.

“No, not regrets at all, because she came into that ring talking mess, saying, ‘I just made the worst mistake of my career coming into her world.’ Nah, baby, this is Jada Parker’s world.”

On X, Vice fired back, saying that Parker will never catch her off-guard again, and that she’ll pay for everything tonight at NXT Deadline.

“I am going to hurt you. I am going to punish you. And I don’t need no weapons to do that. All I need are these fists.”

The pair will face off in an NXT Underground match, which blends pro wrestling styles with the gritty realism of an MMA contest. Vice is 2-0 in NXT Underground matches, but it was Parker who got the win when the pair met in a Hardcore match at NXT in the 2300 Arena.
