It's a new day in NXT as both Oba Femi & Giulia captured the brand's ultimate prizes Tuesday night at New Year's Evil.

The Rock made a special appearance at WWE NXT New Year’s Evil. “The Final Boss” stayed in town after appearing at the WWE RAW on Netflix premiere in Los Angeles, as he went to NXT New Year’s Evil the next day.

The Rock said he knew he would be coming to NXT a couple of weeks ago after talking to Triple H and Nick Khan. The Rock said WWE Raw on Netflix premiere was the "sexy show" that you have to go to, but NXT at the Shrine is the show you want to go to.

The real Final Boss showed up on NXT as The Rock told fans to not to be hypocrites when it comes to his treatment of Cody Rhodes.

The segment concluded with The Rock praising the WWE NXT roster, saying that they’ve been working their asses off. He closed out his promo with his classic “If you smell…… what The Rock is cooking!” catchphrase. This promo was all over the place and had no real direction.

The NXT Championship and NXT Women's Championship are up for grabs at NXT: New Year's Evil on Tuesday, Jan. 7.

WWE NXT's New Year’s Evil on January 7, 2025, featured exhilarating matches and significant title changes at The Shrine Expo Hall in Los Angeles. Giulia won the NXT Women’s Championship, while Oba Femi captured the NXT Championship.

When The Rock let it slip while RAW was on the air at the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, California, that he was heading to NXT at The Shrine for New Year’s Evil, fans wondered what the “Final Boss” would have to say on WWE television for the second day in a row,
