"WWE NXT" delivered on its promise to showcase "different" competitors this week, featuring surprise entries from TNA Wrestling stars Joe Hendry and Frankie Kazarian in the opening number one contender's battle royal. Despite being fresh faces, neither Kazarian nor Hendry secured victory, which ultimately went to Je'Von Evans.
Soon after the match began, a fiery Ethan Page confronted Hendry. However, before Page could attack the former TNA Digital Media Champion, Oro Mensah, driven by revenge, started a brawl with Page, effectively eliminating him from contention. With Page distracted, several competitors teamed up to eliminate Hendry.
As the battle royal progressed, the final four competitors emerged: Je'Von Evans, Shawn Spears, Dragon Lee, and Frankie Kazarian. Evans dramatically eliminated Kazarian by throwing him over the top rope. Turning his attention to Lee, Evans exchanged strikes with the former NXT North American Champion, allowing Spears to intervene and push Lee out of the ring.
In the match's final moments, Spears attempted a springboard dive onto Evans, who countered with a superkick and a flying knee. With Spears dazed, Evans seized the opportunity to throw him over the top rope. This victory earned Evans the right to challenge Trick Williams for the NXT Championship at the 2024 "NXT" Heatwave event on July 7.
