This will get settled once and for all in this year-end episode of NXT.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Last week, the two had quite an exchange of words. Evans pointed out that he has had matches on RAW, SmackDown, and on Saturday Night Main Event, where it was John Cena\u2019s final show. Evans then made a point by saying,<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAnd what, now I\u2019m supposed to slow down because you can\u2019t keep up?\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Saints and Evans have both had success in NXT, but who will come out on top of the two?<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Who is Your Top NXT Stars of 2025?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is the time of year when the NXT Year-End Awards will take place.

Kendal Grey will face Jacy Jayne for the NXT Women\u2019s Championship at New Year&#8217;s Evil.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Even though the match against Sinclair isn\u2019t a championship match, she needs to get the victory to have momentum going into NXT New Year&#8217;s Evil. If Sinclair wins or comes close, that may put her in line for a championship match.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Who do you want to see win the match-up on the final episode of the year?<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">The hate is real&#8230; \ud83d\ude05<a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WrenSinclairWWE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@WrenSinclairWWE<\/a> and <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jacyjaynewwe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@jacyjaynewwe<\/a> will throw down NEXT WEEK!! <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/eYMYKo8jPC\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/eYMYKo8jPC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 WWE (@WWE) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWE\/status\/2003648671418642581?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">December 24, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\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;\">Singles Match: Je\u2019Von Evans vs. Ricky Saints<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Singles Match: Jacy Jayne (c) vs. Wren Sinclair<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>North American Championship:<\/strong> Ethan Page (c) vs. Moose<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A New Year&#8217;s Eve Eve Concert from Joe Hendry<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">NXT Year-End Awards will be announced throughout the episode<\/span><\/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.
