Contenders for both of NXT’s top championships began to emerge on last night’s TakeOver: WarGames fallout edition of NXT.
After pinning NXT Women’s Champion Io Shirai in Sunday’s women’s WarGames match, Raquel Gonzalez was victorious again in last night’s main event. She defeated Ember Moon but was confronted by Rhea Ripley at the end of the show. Toni Storm also brawled with Shirai last night and later went to attack Moon before Ripley appeared and confronted Gonzalez.
It’s been confirmed that Finn Balor will defend his NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil on Wednesday, January 6, but how his challenger will be decided hasn’t been announced. Pete Dunne, Kyle O’Reilly, and Damian Priest all interrupted Balor last night and wanted the next shot at his title. Scarlett also appeared and confronted Balor on the stage. After being insulted by Priest, Karrion Kross returned later in the show and attacked Priest.
