And that's all from tonight's New Year's Evil! I hope you all enjoyed it - I know I did! Enjoy the rest of your nights, stay safe out there, try not to get depressed by the news, and I'll see you all next week!

Until then... I'm outta here.

Let's take a look at our match results.

NXT Champion Finn Balor defeated Kyle O'Reilly
Kushida and Shotzi Blackheart defeat Candice Larae and Johnny Gargano
Raquel Gonzalez defeats Rhea Ripley
Xia Li defeats... someone in a mask.
Santos Escobar defeats Gran Metalik
Karrion Kross defeats Damian Priest

The rest of Undisputed ERA come out to check on their teammate... and Balor approaches the corner Kyle is sitting in. No handshake but you can tell there's a gesture of respect there.

And that's our show.

I don't know what that hold was called, but Balor gets the submission win!

RESULT: Finn Balor defeats Kyle O'Reilly

Balor kicks a charging O'Reilly right in the liver.

Kyle tries to slap a vicious back armbar on a bloody Finn, by the champ gets to the ropes.

Dropkick turnbuckle by Finn, and the champ climbs to the top rope. O'Reilly kicks him down.

O'Reilly just manages to avoid getting counted out by one second, and then manages to get a vicious ankle lock on the champ. However, Finn knocks him in the injured jaw to break the hold.

Balor with a stiff shot to O'Reilly's jaw, a reversal from their original bout.

Kyle withstands the attacks and manages to get a reversal and starts to lay his own pressure on the champ.

Our main event! And so far, this is as hard hitting and intense as their previous match.

Balor has been keeping the pressure on O'Reilly, especially with the submission moves. In fact, Kyle has to grab the bottom rope with his TEETH in order to break up a hold.

William Regal announces that we'll soon be seeing the WOMEN's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

Apparently NXT will be holding a live special on Valentine's Day.

He also thinks Rhea Ripley will beat Raquel Gonzalez in this upcoming Last Woman Standing match.

No Fight Pit match between Timothy Thatcher and Tommaso Ciampa won't happen tonight as Timmy has a boo boo.
