WWE has revealed how NXT Champion Finn Balor's challenger for New Year's Evil will be decided. Kyle O'Reilly and Pete Dunne will face off in a number one contender's match on NXT this coming Wednesday (December 16). The winner will challenge for Balor's NXT Championship at New Year's Evil on Wednesday, January 6. New Year's Evil is the first NXT episode of 2021. It's airing live on the USA Network at 8 p.m. Eastern time. Balor opened this week's NXT episode with a promo before being interrupted by Dunne, O'Reilly, and Damian Priest. Balor announced that he'll be defending his title at New Year's Evil, but he said it was up to NXT general manager William Regal to decide who will be getting the title shot. Scarlett then also confronted Balor on the stage. Balor told her to tell Karrion Kross that whenever he's ready, Balor's ready.
