Trick Williams was out next and Oba Femi interrupted him, saying that we are now looking to the 'future'. Eddy Thorpe also came out and said he wasn't pinned properly last week. Oba said that Trick would only be champ for two more weeks since he would dethrone him at New Year's Evil.

Trick said he wanted a triple-threat match, and Oba said he was doing this since he knew he couldn't beat Femi one-on-one. Ava came out and made the match official before a big brawl broke out in the ring.

Oba took out both Trick and Eddy and hit a big powerbomb on the champ, but Thorpe escaped before Femi stood in the ring holding the title, and NXT went off the air.
