The night ended with a new NXT Champion and number one contenders for both the women\u2019s and men\u2019s NXT Championship.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The one and only Tony D\u2019Angelo made his return and made a statement as he stood tall against the new, <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/2025\/12\/06\/nxt-deadline-main-event-sees-new-champion-wwe-saturday-nights-main-event-match-set\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\">two-time NXT Champion<\/a>, Oba Femi. Let\u2019s look at what we can now expect to see moving forward, now that NXT Deadline has concluded.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Can ZaRuca Continue?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The friendship of Zaria and Sol Ruca appears to be very rocky as of late. The women have been having various disagreements, resulting in the loss of championships and championship opportunities.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">Is everything all good between <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/SolRucaWWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@SolRucaWWE<\/a> and <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ZariaWWE_?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@ZariaWWE_<\/a>?! \ud83d\ude2c <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/XgJk0KVWfC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/XgJk0KVWfC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WWE (@WWE) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/1997465292360896726?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 7, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the NXT Deadline, a call was shown between Ruca and Zaria, in which they agreed that this Tuesday they need to discuss the differences they have been having. Will this conversation explain the spear that Ruca dodged from Zaria the week prior? Or the arguments that have been occurring?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It seems as if Zaria is upset with Ruca&#8217;s quick success. Now that Sol Ruca is going to Saturday Night Main Event on December 13 to face Bayley, will that be the final straw for Zaria? This also comes right after Sol Ruca was hand-picked by John Cena to compete in the Iron Survivor match at Deadline. Is the success of Sol Ruca too much for Zaria to handle?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>A Glamorous Open Challenge<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While on the topic of John Cena, the Women\u2019s North American Champion wants to take a page out of his book and conduct an open challenge this Tuesday. Blake Monroe was granted this by Ava, the NXT General Manager. But who do you think will accept this open challenge?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The last time and only time that Blake Monroe had defended the North American Championship was at NXT Gold Rush against Sol Ruca, where Zaria threw in the towel for Ruca. Now, Monroe will be at a disadvantage because she does not know her opponent. Will she be able to retain the championship against this mystery opponent?<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_148070\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-148070\" style=\"width: 422px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-148070\" src=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/12\/Blake-Monroe-open-challenge-240x300.jpeg\" alt=\"Image of WWE NXT Blake Monroe with the Women's NXT North American Championship\" width=\"422\" height=\"528\" srcset=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/12\/Blake-Monroe-open-challenge-240x300.jpeg 240w, https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/15\/2025\/12\/Blake-Monroe-open-challenge.jpeg 720w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 422px) 100vw, 422px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-148070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo Credit: WWE<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Match Card and Preview<\/strong><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Women\u2019s North American Championship Open Challenge:<\/strong> Blake Monroe (c) vs. N\/A<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hank and Tank return to NXT<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sol Ruca and Zaria will discuss their friendship<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In-ring Debut of Shiloh Hill<\/span><\/li>\n<li aria-level=\"1\"><strong>Singles Match:<\/strong> Kelani Jordan vs. Jordynne Grace<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong><b>More From LWOS Pro Wrestling<\/b><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em><i>Header photo \u2013 WWE \u2013 Stay tuned to the\u00a0<\/i><\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/prowrestling\/\" target=\"_self\"><em><u><i>Last Word on Pro Wrestling<\/i><\/u><\/em><\/a><em><i> for more on WWE NXT previews and other news stories from around the world of wrestling, as they develop.
