Also on this week’s episode of WWE NXT, Eddy Thorpe made his return to confront Oba Femi and Trick Williams.
During this week’s show, a heated situation unfolded involving Thorpe, Femi, and Williams. Thorpe, who missed the chance to compete in the Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline due to a backstage attack on December 3, returned to address Oba Femi. Thorpe accused Femi of being the one who attacked him, although Femi did not deny the claim but questioned if Thorpe had actually seen who did it. Thorpe, not having seen the attacker, speculated that the attack was so powerful it must have been Oba.
The segment then shifted to Trick Williams, who had been facing off with Oba Femi. After Oba left the ring, Trick turned his attention to Thorpe, stating that Trick wouldn’t have survived in the dojos where Thorpe trained. Annoyed by the continuous doubts surrounding his abilities, Trick challenged Thorpe to a match for the upcoming December 17 episode of NXT. The confrontation ended with Trick decking Thorpe with a punch, leaving the rivalry between them heating up ahead of their match.
At the end of the show, Thorpe revealed that he was actually the one who staged the attack against himself.
