A taped edition of WWE NXT aired last night from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida, on New Year’s Eve. This edition served as the final edition before New Year’s Evil. Plus, the focus was kept on the bygone year, as WWE revealed the best matches, superstars, and multiple moments on NXT that stole the show.
Oba Femi expectedly appeared to be the Male Superstar of the Year, as he had a breakout year as WWE NXT North American Champion in 2024 where he got to cement himself as a top-tier superstar of the roster. Roxanne Perez claimed the Female Superstar of the Year award which only indicates the meteoric rise that she’s having in the women’s division.

He ended the promo by reminding people that saying his name means anywhere, anytime, any show which further teased that he could be WWE-bound if and when his TNA tenure comes to an end.
