Wagner cut the tried and tested "I'm everything that you're not" heel promo as NXT New Year's Evil went on. Wagner then attacked Andre Chase and wiped him out with a big slam in the ring before going after his prize pupil. He then attacked a random fan for some reason before he was dragged away.
Wagner was sent out of the arena after the break and he stared down Roderick Strong and Diamond Mine on his way out.
WWE announced a Crowbar on a pole match next week on NXT.
Tommaso Ciampa (c) vs. Bron Breakker - NXT Championship match on New Year's Evil
Breakker had the early advantage and Ciampa retreated from the ring to regroup before coming back and taking a vertical suplex. The Champ took control of the match and unloaded with strikes in the corner before hitting a big dropkick.
Bron went outside with a knee strike off the apron on NXT New Year's Evil and took a springboard corkscrew plancha before things returned to the ring. Ciampa locked in a headlock and then got on Breakker's back but was dropped by the bigger guy.
