“That was shaping up to be a good match, and then that crap of a finish happened,” Bruce Hazelwood said in his PWTorch report. “I guess they want to extend this to Vengeance Day? That’s the only thing I can think of here, a way to protect both without a definitive finish. Still, what a letdown to that championship match.”

NXT Vengeance Day takes place on February 4 live on Peacock from Charlotte, North Carolina. No other matches for the event have been announced at this time.

“I was so glad to see that this wasn’t the main event for New Year’s Evil,” Nate Lindberg wrote. “This feud has felt so flat simply due to the relatively lackluster reign from Bron Breakker. It didn’t deserve to be on last, even though I generally am in favor for either Men’s or Women’s championship main eventing.”
