Eddy Thorpe is officially back in the NXT title picture after a huge victory at the January 11 NXT live event in Jacksonville, Florida. The star walked away as the winner of a men’s battle royal, securing his shot at Oba Femi’s NXT Championship.
The battle royal featured top-tier competitors all vying for a crack at the gold, but it was Thorpe’s night to shine. After scratching and clawing his way through a brutal contest, Thorpe emerged as the last man standing, solidifying himself as the next challenger to the dominant Oba Femi. Fans in attendance shared their excitement, with one tweeting, “Eddy Thorpe WINS The Battle Royal #NXTJacksonville,” alongside a photo of the triumphant moment.
The exact date for Thorpe’s title match hasn’t been announced, but it’s safe to say the NXT Universe is eager to see him finally get his shot at the top prize. Oba Femi, who recently claimed the NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil in a dramatic triple threat against Trick Williams and Thorpe himself, now faces a formidable challenger who’s determined to rewrite the story.
Thorpe’s win wasn’t the only major moment at the Jacksonville live event. Lola Vice also secured a massive victory in the women’s battle royal, earning herself a shot at the NXT Women’s Championship.
With both Thorpe and Vice earning title opportunities, the NXT landscape is shaping up for an exciting shake-up in the coming weeks.
