WWE has announced that NXT’s New Year’s Evil event will take place on January 7, 2025, in Los Angeles, California. The announcement was made during Saturday’s Deadline premium live event, but the exact venue has yet to be confirmed. This event will follow Raw’s Netflix premiere at the Intuit Dome on January 6.

Two major title matches have been confirmed for New Year’s Evil:

Trick Williams will defend the NXT Championship against Oba Femi, who earned the opportunity by winning the Iron Survivor Challenge.
