In a match that could only be described as “Yuletide Carnage,” Out The Mud (Bronco Nima and Lucien Price) emerged victorious in a “Christmas Chaos” fatal four-way, earning a shot at the NXT Tag Team Championship. This wasn’t just a wrestling match—it was a holiday-themed demolition derby, complete with candy cane Kendo sticks, steel chairs, and an appearance by Santa Ridge Holland.
The chaos began with The D’Angelo Family’s Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo and Luca Crusifino going full Home Alone mode, introducing an arsenal of festive weapons. Lorenzo even found himself literally “decking the halls” when he was smashed through a table on the outside. Meanwhile, No Quarter Catch Crew (NQCC) proved that candy canes aren’t just for eating, as Tavion Heights and Myles Borne wielded Kendo sticks with the fury of sugar-fueled elves, punishing both OTM and Hank Walker & Tank Ledger.
OTM shifted the momentum by turning steel chairs into weapons of mass destruction and delivering a bone-crunching table spot that left Borne looking like a Christmas decoration gone wrong. Just when it seemed like the big men Hank and Tank would bulldoze their way to victory, outside interference from Tyson Dupont and Tyriek Igwe took them out of contention.
The D’Angelo Family nearly stole the match with a devastating Shatter Machine, but the spirit of Christmas chaos struck again. Ridge Holland, decked out as Santa Claus, appeared at ringside and took out Tony D’Angelo, gifting OTM the perfect opening to seal the deal with a pinfall victory.
This win propels Out The Mud into a showdown with reigning champs Axiom and Nathan Frazer, collectively known as FrAxiom. The duo, now 115 days into their second reign, will face a daunting challenge against OTM’s size, power, and newfound momentum.
One thing is clear: Out The Mud isn’t just coming for the gold—they’re ready to sleigh.
