The NXT Women’s Championship will be on the line in a triple threat match at New Year’s Evil.

Mandy Rose will defend her NXT Women’s Championship against Raquel Gonzalez and Cora Jade at New Year’s Evil. It will be Rose’s first title defense since winning the championship from Gonzalez at Halloween Havoc this October.

Rose defeated Gonzalez at Halloween Havoc following interference by Dakota Kai. At NXT WarGames earlier this month, Gonzalez, Jade, Io Shirai & Kay Lee Ray defeated Rose, Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jayne & Kai in the women’s WarGames match.

Jade got the win at WarGames by pinning Jayne. Leading into WarGames, Jade defeated Rose in a non-title match.

Gonzalez defeated Kai in a street fight on NXT tonight. After the match, Gonzalez called out Rose and said she wanted an NXT Women’s Championship rematch. But Jade made her way out to the ring instead. Jade said Gonzalez deserves a rematch, but she wants a match against Rose too. Jade said she wants Rose and the rest of Toxic Attraction to pay for hurting her shoulder at WarGames.

Rose appeared on the video screen and said Gonzalez and Jade are both envious of her. Rose said that, since she’s in the holiday spirit, she’ll defend her NXT Women’s Championship against Gonzalez and Jade in a triple threat match at New Year’s Evil. Dolin and Jayne then attacked Gonzalez and Jade, putting Gonzalez through a table.

New Year’s Evil will be the first NXT episode of 2022. It’s airing live on USA Network on Tuesday, January 4. Here’s the updated card for the show:

  • NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa defends against Bron Breakker
  • NXT Women’s Champion Mandy Rose defends against Raquel Gonzalez and Cora Jade in a triple threat match

Ciampa vs. Breakker NXT title match set for New Year’s Evil

Posted on by Joseph Currier

A date has been set for Tommaso Ciampa vs. Bron Breakker II.

WWE has announced that Ciampa will defend his NXT Championship against Breakker at New Year’s Evil. The special NXT episode is airing live on USA Network on Tuesday, January 4.

Ciampa and Breakker each have a win against each other heading into the title match. Ciampa retained the NXT Championship against Breakker at Halloween Havoc, but Breakker pinned Ciampa to win the men’s WarGames match at NXT WarGames.

Breakker challenged Ciampa to an NXT Championship match after getting the win at WarGames. Last week, Ciampa attacked Breakker following Breakker’s win against Roderick Strong. Ciampa laid out Breakker by giving him Willow’s Bell on top of the NXT Championship belt.

During a promo segment on tonight’s NXT, Ciampa said Breakker has earned a title rematch — but he exposed Breakker’s inexperience when they faced off at Halloween Havoc. Ciampa said Breakker isn’t ready to be a champion in his NXT. Ciampa slapped Breakker and told him reality is going to hit at New Year’s Evil.

Breakker responded by picking up Ciampa for a press slam, but he put Ciampa down instead of hitting it. Breakker told Ciampa that blood is in the water — and this shark is going to eat Ciampa alive at New Year’s Evil.

New Year’s Evil will also feature a triple threat NXT Women’s Championship match with Mandy Rose defending her title against Raquel Gonzalez and Cora Jade.
