WWE NXT has announced their first event for 2021, New Year’s Evil. NXT has seen a major increase in big name events lately as not only have the pay-per-view events been a big deal, but even some standard broadcasts of WWE NXT’s weekly shows have been amped up to another degree. This past year has seen NXT take on famous events such as the Great American Bash and Halloween Havoc, and now it seems like NXT will be bringing in the new year in a huge way with a major celebratory event.
