We got a promo for NXT New Year's Evil as WarGames continued. Team NXT 2.0 was preparing for the main event as we headed for the next match.
Roderick Strong vs. Joe Gacy - Cruiserweight Title match at NXT WarGames
A female WWE star said her life is in danger. Details HERE
Gacy backed off into the corner as the match began and tried to talk to Roderick before going for a hug. But he then slapped Strong. Gacy was taken down as Roddy unloaded on him but came back with a tackle and some kicks.
Gacy sent Roderick outside next to the rest of Diamond Mine and hit a dive on Roddy and the Creed Brothers. Ivy Nile got in Gacy's face and Harland lifted her up. Gacy let him put Nile down before the match continued in the ring.
Gacy got a big counter and hit Roddy with a Tilt-a-whirl Powerbomb for a near fall. Roderick hit the End of Heartache and picked up the win at NXT WarGames.
Result: Roderick Strong def. Joe Gacy to retain the Cruiserweight Title
Grade: B
