The December 16, 2025, edition of WWE NXT emanated from the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, FL. At WWE Saturday Night Main Event XLII, NXT shone. NXT Champion Oba Femi did a great job against Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes, but failed to win because of Drew McIntyre.<\/p>\n
Sol Ruca defeated NXT Alumna Bayley in a fabulous clash. TNA’s Leon Slater and Je’Von Evans lost against AJ Styles and Dragon Lee, but The Young OG and The Youngest in Charge made the show in a WWE PLE. Joe Hendry also appeared and shut The Miz up, with R-Truth’s help.<\/p>\n
