Following last week’s fallout show of NXT New Year’s Evil, WWE NXT looks to continue its momentum with the January 20, 2026, episode, set to take place at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
The show promises an action-packed night with a debuting star battling for the NXT North American title, while stars battle to get a chance to hold the vacant NXT throne. A number one contender’s match for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team titles is also announced for the show.
NXT North American Champion Ethan Page is set to defend the title against the debuting Elio LeFluer. Meanwhile, per an agreement between NXT GM Ava and TNA Director of Authority Santino Marella, a three-team showdown has been set for the show.
Zaruca (Sol Ruca & Zaria), Wren-QCC (Wren Sinclair & Kendal Gray), and Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley & Lainey Reid) will compete in a number-one-contenders match for the TNA Knockouts World Tag Team Championship.
During the opening of last week’s show, Ava addressed the future of the WWE NXT Championship, announcing a six-man Ladder Match for the NXT Championship scheduled for February 3, with qualifying matches set to begin tonight. The winner of the ladder match will be crowned the new top competitor in the men’s division.
Two qualifiers for the six-man Ladder Match have already been confirmed for the January 20 episode: Josh Briggs will take on Shiloh Hill, while Sean Legacy will face Eli Knight in a singles bout.
