The Christmas Eve edition of WWE NXT has already been taped after a hugely controversial title match aired live leaving more questions than answers.
Shawn Michaels was assaulted by one WWE star after an NXT Championship match ended in a hugely controversial fashion. NXT Champion Trick Williams and his challenger Eddy Thorpe ended up pinning each other with two referees counting each man’s shoulders down.
NXT General Manager Ava made the call that the match was a draw and in that event, the champion retained his gold which caused Eddy Thorpe to lose his mind and end up pushing NXT boss Shawn Michaels.
With WWE taping the next edition of NXT TV on the same evening, fans live at the show got to see how the situation played out with Thorpe getting another bite at the cherry.
