At The Great American Bash, NXT Champion Oba Femi successfully defended his title in a challenging triple threat match against Yoshiki Inamura and Josh Briggs on Tuesday’s episode of NXT. Despite being sidelined from WWE NXT for 10 days, Femi managed to retain the championship he has held since January. Inamura and Briggs, normally tag team partners, temporarily teamed up to take down Femi with a series of aggressive shoulder tackles. However, their alliance quickly crumbled as Briggs intervened to stop Inamura from securing a pinfall on Femi and later turned against Inamura with an elbow strike. Briggs continued his assault with a chokeslam on Femi and traded heavy hits with Inamura, eventually winning the match with a combination of a European uppercut and a powerbomb, but Femi’s resilience kept him the champion. This victory secured Femi’s reign at nearly 200 days as the NXT Champion.
Fan Take: This intense match not only showcased Oba Femi’s toughness and skill but also highlighted the growing tensions and competitive spirit within WWE’s NXT roster. For fans, it signals that NXT’s landscape is evolving with fresh rivalries and compelling storylines, keeping the sport exciting and unpredictable.
