Ladies and gentlemen, we are witnessing a miracle. A hard-fought battle. A moment so big it could only happen in a place as great as NXT. Shawn Spears is your new North American Champion.
Yes, you heard that right. The guy who has spent years being “perfect ten adjacent” finally got his moment of glory. And folks, it was beautiful.
The Match
Spears took on Tony D’Angelo, a man who calls himself The Don—but tonight, Spears proved that even Dons can be dethroned.
- Big moments? We had them.
- Outside interference? You bet.
- Family drama? Of course. This was basically a mafia movie in spandex.
Izzi Dame, formerly loyal to D’Angelo, betrayed him to align with Spears, because let’s be honest—who doesn’t love a good backstabbing before WrestleMania season? The families at ringside erupted into chaos, but in the end, it was Spears who outlasted, outsmarted, and out-speared the competition.
The Finish
D’Angelo had the match in hand—until Dame helped Spears’ foot reach the ropes, causing an all-out brawl at ringside. Spears, ever the opportunist, sent Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo crashing into D’Angelo.
Back in the ring, Spears hit a C4, but D’Angelo kicked out because of course he did. So Spears went for another, but before D’Angelo could counter—his back gave out. That’s right, folks. The ol’ betrayal + back pain combo. Spears capitalized and got the pin.
The Aftermath
- Spears celebrated with Dame, Brooks Jensen, and Niko Vance—his new “family.”
- D’Angelo got helped by Lorenzo, Adriana Rizzo, and Luca Crusifino—probably straight into an emergency chiropractic appointment.
- And the NXT Universe? Shocked. Amazed. Mildly confused.
Shawn Spears is now the man in the North American division. And let’s be honest—no one had this on their 2024 bingo card. But here we are. History has been made, folks.
