WWE Announces New Year’s Evil 2025 Event in Los Angeles

WWE dropped a major announcement during NXT Deadline 2024, revealing that the New Year’s Evil event will take place on January 7, 2025, live from Los Angeles, California. This marks another huge milestone for NXT as the brand continues to expand its footprint in iconic cities.

The news came during an interview segment with NXT General Manager Ava, who shared key updates regarding the aftermath of Deadline. While addressing questions about Ethan Page’s comments on the Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge, Ava confirmed that the inclusion of Oba Femi had dramatically shifted the match’s dynamics. Ava then made another announcement, setting up a showdown between Je’Von Evans and Wes Lee for this Tuesday’s episode of NXT.

The conversation quickly shifted gears as Sarah Schreiber brought up WWE’s upcoming stop in Lowell, Massachusetts. Ava revealed the big news, stating, “New Year’s Evil will take place in Los Angeles.” The announcement sent fans into a frenzy, as Los Angeles will play host to what’s expected to be one of NXT’s most exciting events heading into 2025.

But the surprises didn’t end there. Main roster star Tiffany Stratton, currently Ms. Money in the Bank, made her presence felt. Interrupting Ava, Stratton mentioned she’s from Minneapolis and couldn’t help but overhear chatter about Roxanne Perez defending her title against the Iron Survivor Challenge winner at New Year’s Evil. Stratton, known for her larger-than-life personality, shared her “Tiffany Epiphany,” teasing the possibility of inserting herself into the NXT Women’s Championship picture. “Who knows, maybe the Tiffany Epiphany takes me straight into that title match,” Stratton hinted with a smirk, leaving fans speculating.

With the announcement of New Year’s Evil in Los Angeles and Stratton’s cryptic comments, WWE has set the stage for what could be a monumental event to kick off the new year. The intrigue surrounding Roxanne Perez’s title defense and Stratton’s potential involvement only adds to the excitement.
