Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Ethan Page, and Shawn Spears were all sitting down in the ring this past night. The four gathered to sign the contract for their Fatal four-way championship match set to take place during the NXT Heatwave showdown airing on July 7, 2024. This gives us less than a week to see these four stars going at it for the NXT title.
However, Je’Von and Williams have already given us a glimpse of what’s to come this Sunday. As it often does, the ring got heated while these four were arguing and penning down their names on the contract. In the end, a brawl broke out, and Je’Von and Trick Williams made short work of the other two competitors. Let’s take a look at the events that led to their brawl in the ring.
Evans and Tricks handle business ahead of NXT Heatwave showdown
Everything started off normally, with Williams maintaining his usual energy. The NXT Champ mentioned that the fans will all chant "Whoop That Trick" during his match next week. Ethan Page was then quick to remind the champ that Heatwave won’t be the same experience as the one he had at Battleground. Three weeks ago, Williams took Evans out at Battleground to retain his NXT Championship belt.
After Page’s comments, Shawn Spears chimed in and mentioned that Trick Williams’ emotions ended up costing him their match last week and will cost him the NXT championship at Heatwave. 21-year-old Je’Von Evans got involved, and an argument broke out between him and Shawn Page.
Things began after Page compared the Young OG, to a sports team that is just happy to participate because they can’t win. On that note, Evans rebutted and asked Page to tell him how much experience he has as an
NXT champion. The 21-year-old also claimed that he'd be winning the title this Sunday.
Immediately afterward, Page asked Williams what he thought about Evans’ statement. It was almost as if Shawn was trying to create some separation between the two before he took them on in the upcoming Fatal four-way match. However, Williams didn’t get provoked and said it'd be every man for himself this Sunday.
Finally, an argument broke out between Shawn, Page, and Evans. Things escalated, and a brawl broke out. Shawn tried his best to put Je’Von out of commission, while Page started throwing punches at the NXT champion. However, Williams proved to be too much for him and slammed him through the table. On the other hand, Evans also power-bombed Shawn through a table, and the stage is now set for NXT Heatwave.
Will NXT Heatwave spell the end of Je’Von and Williams’ friendship?
Right after the brawl ended, Evans went to pick up the Championship belt. However, Williams quickly swooped in and stared at his friend, Je’Von with malicious intent. This could be the beginning of the end of their friendship.
It might not sit well with Trick Williams if he ends up losing his title to a 21-year-old who has just burst onto the scene. It’ll be interesting to see who walks out of NXT Heatwave with the Championship belt.
