The final NXT of 2025 featured its year-end awards, handed out, and a main event between Je’Von Evans and Ricky Saints.
Evans, who is main roster-bound, lost in the main event on the last WWE program of the year after a referee bump led to the ending.
Evans missed Saints and took out referee Adrian Butler/Darryl Sharma with an OG Cutter. It allowed Saints to kick Evans low and hit Roshambo as a back-up referee entered the ring to count three.
