Man, Lumis never shuts up.

The lights flicker to land on the "always too talkative" Dexter Lumis. He provides a sketch showing that Escobar will in fact defend the NXT Cruiserweight title at New Year's Evil against Gran Metalik.

Ruff certainly brought it and looked great in defeat. Surprised the Way wasn't more involved with chicanery. Yes, I like the word chincanery.

Will the _ _ _ _ _ continue? It 𝘪𝘴 looking like it. #WWENXT #NXTNATitle @JohnnyGargano @LEONRUFF_ pic.twitter.com/JzO3eOYkc0

Looks like Gran Metalik may be the next challenger for Santos Escobar.

Gotta admit - Gargano Way segments are really funny.

As Theory accepts his award, he says that Gargano will break the curse! Being totally superstitious, Gargano yells at Theory and throws the Gargano Whey bottle that is now attached to Theory's hands, into a mirror. Bad luck, sir. Bad luck! Is it all misdirection?

LUCHA TEAMWORK! #WWENXT @WWEGranMetalik @LuchadorLD @joaquinwilde_ @RaulMendozaWWE pic.twitter.com/wUjmBfEO5F

Legado gets the upper hand and hits a series of clothelines in the corner. They go for a pin on Dorado but only get a two count.

Metalik tags in Dorado but takes too much time to set up a tandem move. Wilde stands there waiting for the LHP to hit their move.

And then we get Gran Metalik and Lince Dorado to break things up!

Escobar says that GM Regal can't find anyone that belongs in the ring with him and with the Legado del Fantasma.

Escobar - I'm not here to be popular, I'm here to dominate, and that's exactly what I've done.

After the video package for Ripley/Gonzalez, Legado de Fantasma is in the ring. Escobar is looking very shiny in his suit.

I've always said that sometimes your best friends can eventually become your greatest enemies. It looks like that's the case with Ripley and Raquel.

Doomsday is already here.

The music in the promo certainly sounds way too soft for Ripley.

Back from the break and we get a segment featuring Rhea Ripley and Raquel Gonzalez' bond before they decided to rip each other's heads off.

It certainly seems like Priest/Kross could have a stipulation added to it . . .

"It means something to me. To me, it's proof. Not only proof that I belong in the ring with you, but proof that I belong at the top of #WWENXT."

You deserve it, @KORcombat. #WWENXT #NXTAwardMatch @FinnBalor #NXTYearEndAwards pic.twitter.com/JyI8HPBvse

The fights spill on top of a gear box before the two men go through ANOTHER gear box ringside. Scarlett sits on another box sultrily laughing at the carnage.

Priest gets in a few shots before Kross throws him back first into some of the staging. He throws Priest through some of the plexiglass ringside and they continue bashing each other.

Annnnnnd then Damian Priest shows up to tell Kross how to "step up like a man." Enjoy your spot before your beatdown next week.

Scarlett - it doesn't matter who comes out of the match next week with the belt. Kross - Doomsday is already here.

Uh oh . . . out comes Scarlett and Karrion Kross to shake things up.

O'Reilly cutting a great promo.

Sounding heelish. O'Reilly says it means something to him because it is proof that he belongs atop of NXT.
