During this week’s episode of NXT on the CW Network, a WWE star made a significant heel turn. At the recent Great American Bash event, Yoshiki Inamura was defeated by Oba Femi in a tough battle for the NXT Championship. Although Inamura had Josh Briggs supporting him, Briggs attempted to deceive him, creating more problems than help, while Inamura chose to compete with integrity.
In the latest NXT show, Briggs entered the ring to voice his frustration about Hayano being given the first title shot over him. He expressed, “I’ve been here for four years, delivering some of the best matches in NXT history, yet I’ve never gotten a chance to compete for the NXT Championship.” This episode solidified Briggs’ status as a heel character.
Oba Femi then confronted Briggs, accusing him of sabotaging his match with Inamura and insisting that Inamura deserves another title opportunity without Briggs’ interference. Inamura also joined the confrontation in the ring. As a result, a three-way match for the NXT title between Femi, Briggs, and Inamura was scheduled for next week’s NXT episode in Houston.
Fan Take: This development shakes up the NXT landscape, adding fresh tension and rivalries that are sure to captivate WWE fans. The upcoming triple threat match promises high stakes and exciting storytelling, potentially setting the stage for new champions and shifting alliances in WWE.
