Kevin Owens Helps Trick Williams Retain Future Title Shot – At the special “New Year’s Evil” episode of WWE NXT on the USA Network, Shawn Michaels hinted at a surprise appearance by a former NXT World Champion. This anticipation led to a climactic moment during the main event between Grayson Waller and Trick Williams, where an unexpected turn of events unfolded.
As Trick Williams defended his guaranteed future NXT World Championship opportunity against Grayson Waller due to Ilja Dragunov’s medical clearance issues, the match reached a critical juncture. Carmelo Hayes, despite being instructed to stay backstage by Trick, rushed down to the ring seemingly without cause, interfering in the proceedings.
With Waller seemingly poised for victory, Hayes’ interference threatened to jeopardize Trick’s championship opportunity. However, just as Waller seemed on the brink of securing the win, an unforeseen turn occurred. Kevin Owens made a surprise appearance at ringside, intervening in the match and delivering a decisive blow to Waller, allowing Trick Williams to secure the victory, thus preserving his future NXT World Championship shot against Dragunov.
As seen below, Owens was interviewed after the show and he explained his attack on Grayson Waller.
