We go to commercial.

We are back and Gigi, Tatum, and Shotzi walk in the back and they bump into Katana and Kayden.

They ask why are they here and they say they are here to talk about the tag division.

Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson show up and say if you want to talk about the tag division, you need to talk about them.

Kayden and Katana leave and then the other five women start talking at the same time.

We take a look at the Women's World Champion Roxanne Perez with a video profile.

She says when she first walked through the doors of NXT, no one thought she would be one of the greatest champions.  She was 20 years old and had some buzz from the independent scene.  WWE did not know they made one of the best signings.  Is that cocky?  Maybe.  She mentions everything she has accomplished.  If you traveled the whole world, it is too small compared to stepping in the ring with her.  No one beats the Prodigy.  

She says there have been some bumps on the road.  She has spent the last three years getting in the conversation as the greatest.  She would put this division against the all time greats.  At 23, most women don't know what they want to do, but she is breaking records and making history.  If you were someone like Simone Biles or Kaitlyn Clark, you might understand how great she is.

Giulia walks into New Year's Evil as the underdog against someone younger and smaller who will carry the division into 2025.  That doesn't speak about how good Giulia is, but how great she is.

We take a look at the end of the Heritage Cup match.

Lexis King is with the Trophy and Sarah congratulate him and she wants to ask him about winning.

Lexis says if he was a man of integrity he knew he could win.  He says he could have taken short cuts but he didn't.  King says he doesn't need short cuts to win.  King says a huge weight has been taken off his shoulders and he walks away.

Ethan Page says he has seen the outrage over what he did to Je'Von Evans.  Je'Von Evans is to blame for Page's actions.  He says he had to listen to Evans carry on about how great his year is and now it ends with you eating through a straw because of him.  You talk about my personal life and you want to see the real Ethan Page.  Now you have it.  You sat there in shock, pain, and fear.  No longer the kid with an infectious smile.  Page says he took it from him.  Page says he thought about it for a week and maybe he should have felt some remorse or regret.  Last week was the highlight of his career.  Page thanks Evans for letting him find his smile, by taking his.

Next week, Kelani Jordan faces Lola Vice.  Gigi Dolin and Shotzi face Lash Legend and Jakara Jackson and Kayden Carter and Katana Chance.

Trick tells Eddy to shut up and Eddy is not on his level.

Oba says Trick will be champion for two weeks when they face at New Year's Evil.

Eddy says they have something to settle so Oba's title match will have to wait.

Oba says he is done waiting.  

Oba says you said that Eddy blamed him for losing his title match.

Trick says he is tired of hearing about the past and the future.  He wants to talk about now.  He has a problem with Eddy and he has a date with Oba.  This will be a triple threat match.  Trick says he knows that he doesn't have to get pinned to lose the title.  When he wins, he will shut up all the hate and doubters.

Oba says Trick is slick.  He says he knows that Trick doesn't think he can beat him one on one so he can pin Eddy to retain the title.  Oba tells Eddy he couldn't beat Trick one on one and now your chances are literally zero.

Ava comes out and she says before this goes any further.  She says if this is the match that Trick wants, she will make it.
