WWE NXT Championship match ends in double pin

Tuesday’s NXT Championship match on WWE NXT TV ended in controversy. Trick Williams defending his NXT Championship against Eddy Thorpe in the show’s main event ended with a double pin and confusion surrounding who is the rightful NXT Champion as two referees were involved in the finish. After the first referee was taken out inadvertently following a DDT from Thorpe, a second official entered to call the rest of the match. As Williams hit his Trick Shot finish, the original referee was revived. Williams and Thorpe then fell into one another and landed in such a way that one referee counted the pin for Thorpe, and one for Williams. NXT general manager Ava came to ringside as the show went off the air to mediate the dispute between the officials. The matter will certainly be addressed on next week’s taped edition of WWE NXT on Christmas Eve.
