The opening video for NXT is shown at the start of the show with Roar of the Crowd by CFO$ playing in the background. Commentators are Rich Brennan, Kyle Edwards and Byron Saxton.

Byron: "Welcome to NXT everyone and Merry Christmas. After last week's explosive show, we have a hell of a card for you tonight."

Kyle: "That's right, Byron. Tonight may not be Kevin Owens' night. First, he takes on Murphy in the #1 Contender's Tournament to the NXT Championship. If he wins, he defends his spot in the tournament against Adrian Neville in tonight's main event. If he loses, he will still face Neville in the main event, in a Falls Count Anywhere match. This ought to be a good show!"

Rich: "Let's hand it over to Eden Stiles to get this night started."

Eden: "The following contest is Match 3 in the #1 Contender's Tournament for the NXT Championship!"

Opposite Ends of the World by CFO$ hits as Murphy, accompanied by Alexa Bliss, enters the arena.

Eden: "Introducing first, being accompanied to the ring by Alexa Bliss, from Melbourne, Australia, weighing in at 232 lbs, Murphy!"

Rich: "This match right here could be either the start of a great night for Owens or a bad one as he takes on Murphy in the #1 contender's tournament to determine who will be next in line to challenge Sami Zayn for the NXT Championship!"

Byron: "Murphy has already advanced in the tag team tournament with his partner Blake, but can he somehow defeat Owens to get one step closer to earning an NXT Championship match?"

Fight by CFO$ hits as Kevin Owens walks slowly towards the top of the ramp.

Eden: "And his opponent, from Marieville, Quebec, Canada, weighing in at 266 lbs, Kevin Owens!"

Rich: "This should be a great match. Remember, if Owens wins this match, he will defend his spot in the tournament against Adrian Neville in tonight's main event."

*BELL RINGS*

Byron: "There goes the bell and this match has started."

Kyle: "Owens quickly clotheslines Murphy to the ground. He sends him towards the ropes and hits the Pop-Up Powerbomb! I think this one could be over already!"

Referee: "1…2…3! Ring the bell, this one's over!"

Byron: "An impressive victory for Kevin Owens over Murphy! That one didn't last long at all! Owens will now put his spot in the tournament on the line in tonight's main event against Adrian Neville."

Kyle: "Owens wins this match but can he defeat Adrian Neville later tonight?"

Promo for new superstar debuting on the 8th January, 2015 episode of NXT, Tomer Lami.

Byron: "This Tomer Lami looks to be very interesting. He has seven years wrestling experience at NJPW but how will he fare in NXT?"

Regality by Jim Johnston hits as NXT General Manager William Regal appears on the stage.

Regal: "After a request from both Charlotte and Violet Michaels, each diva will have to set the pace. Whatever time one diva wins, the other diva has to win in a shorter amount of time or risk a draw."

Eden: "The following divas contest is scheduled for one fall!"

Time To Rise (V2) by CFO$ hits as Eva Marie appears on the stage.

Eden: "Introducing first, from Concord, California, Eva Marie!"

Kyle: "Eva is looking very confident in this match. Maybe if she wins, she could earn an NXT Women's Championship match down the line!"

Recognition by CFO$ hits and the NXT Women's Champion makes her way to the stage

Eden: "And introducing her opponent, from The Queen City, she is the NXT Women's Champion, Charlotte!"

Byron: "This looks to be Eva's toughest opponent to date. The NXT Women's Champion, Charlotte."

*BELL RINGS*

Rich: "There goes the bell and this one is underway. Charlotte starts with a clothesline, sending Eva crashing to the ground."

Byron: "Charlotte is not stopping the attack. She goes straight after Eva's leg. She's trying to wear down the leg to make it easier to lock in the Figure Eight."

Kyle: "Charlotte goes for a knee drop to the face but Eva moves. Eva hits a Snap Suplex on Charlotte. She climbs to the top rope! Senton Bomb! She goes for the cover!"

Referee: "1…2…Kick-Out!"

Byron: "A kick-out from Charlotte. She quickly gets back up and nails a big boot on Eva. So far, this match has last four minutes and three seconds. If Charlotte wants to give Violet a challenge in her match against Emma later on tonight, she has to finish this one and fast!"

Rich: "Charlotte continues to wear down the leg of Eva."

Kyle: "Charlotte looks to make Eva submit fast so she can set the time for Violet Michaels."

Byron: "Charlotte hits a Snap Suplex and is now begging Eva to get up."

Rich: "There's a Spear from Charlotte. Can Charlotte end this one now?"

Byron: "It looks that way, Rich as she is setting up for Bow Down to the Queen! She nails it. Pinfall!"

Referee: "1…2…3. Ring the bell, this one's over!"

Eden: "Here is your winner, in a time of four minutes and twenty nine seconds, the NXT Women's Champion, Charlotte!"

Byron: "Charlotte has set the time for Violet Michaels. Charlotte ended the match in under five minutes. Can Violet Michaels defeat Emma quicker or will Charlotte earn momentum going into the NXT Women's Championship match?"

Rich: "We are now sending it backstage to Renee Young who is standing by with Violet Michaels."
