In a shocking turn of events, a reigning WWE champion found himself targeted by his opponent just days before a crucial match.
Since his NXT debut, Oba Femi has dominated the competition with his imposing physique, securing victories against every opponent in the ring.
Despite a year-long stint in WWE NXT, it wasn’t until the Break Out Tournament that Femi truly captured the spotlight.
His overpowering performance in the tournament earned him a title contract, and he seized the opportunity by becoming the new NXT North American Champion after cashing in on Dragon Lee.
Femi’s reign as champion has been characterized by decisive victories, including a convincing win over Lee in a rematch and a destructive performance against Lexis King.
However, the NXT landscape took an unexpected turn when Brooks Jensen challenged Oba Femi to a match scheduled for this week.
Adding fuel to the fire, Jensen escalated tensions by attempting to attack the North American Champion during an interview on his way into the arena. The situation reached a boiling point, requiring the intervention of Josh Briggs to restrain the fiery challenger.
The incident, captured in a tweet, showcased the intensity of the altercation.
