Once again it is time for NXT Wargames! Who will walk away with the the NXT Cruiserweight Championship when Roderick Strong defends his title against Joe Gacy? Imperium puts the NXT Tag Team Championships on the line against Kyle O’Reilly and Von Wagner, can Fabian Aichner and Marcel Barthel hold off arguably one of the greatest tag team wrestlers of all time in Kyle O’Reilly? Who is going to come out looking like Ritz when Cameron Grimes and Duke Hudson do battle in a hair vs hair match? Toxic Attraction (Mandy Rose, Gig Dolin and Jacy Jayne) have been a thorn in Raquel Gonzalez’s side for weeks now, not to mention her former mentor Dakota Kai appearing back on the scene helping Mandy Rose capture the NXT Women’s Championship from Raquel back at Halloween Havoc. Now along with Io Shirari, Cora Jade and Kay Lee Ray, these 8 women will compete in a WarGames match to see who will come out on top. Its old school vs new school when Team Black & Gold (Tommaso Ciampa, Johnny Gargano, Pete Dunne, and LA Knight) steps inside the Wargames structure to take on Team 2.0 (Bron Breakker, Carmelo Hayes, Grayson Waller, and Tony D'Angelo) (with Trick Williams). Can the NXT veterans overcome the newcomers? What surprises will we see at Wargames? Will someone betray their team? Will someone return? Will there be a debut?
Speaking of returns, “The Beast” Brock Lesnar returned to WWE tv this past Friday night on Smackdown to confront not only Sami Zayn but also the WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns and now it will be Roman Reigns vs Brock Lesnar at WWE’s New Years Day event “Day 1”. Also Liv Morgan looks to end the reign of Becky Lynch this coming Monday on Monday Night Raw. Can Liv finally win a big match? Over in AEW, the TBS Championship tournament carries on and we now know that it will be Thunder Rosa vs Jade Cargill and Nyla Rose vs Roby Soho. What will the finals look like for January 5th? Daniel Bryan continues his run through the Dark Order as he works his way up to AEW World Champion Adam Page and Cody Rhodes and Andrade went to hell and back in a vicious street fight this past week as well. And as always we will end the night with our Run-In segment and who knows what we will talk about there, everything and anything is up for discussion. All of this and so much more tonight on In This Very Ring!.
