Ricky Saints has a new contender for the NXT Championship.
This week’s NXT main event featured a Last Man Standing match, where Saints defended his title against the two-time champion Trick Williams.
In this intense battle, both competitors endured significant punishment. As the match progressed, Williams executed a powerful trick shot that seemed to seal his victory; however, the referee was unable to count as Saints recovered and stood up.
Williams’ momentary distraction gave the NXT Champion the chance to regain his footing, leading to a decisive spear that sent his opponent crashing through the announce table, securing his win.
Just as Ricky was about to celebrate in the ring, Oba Femi’s theme music erupted, and he was seen making his entrance as the show concluded.
Femi hasn’t appeared on NXT since the No Mercy event on September 27, when Saints ended his impressive 263-day reign as champion.
The formidable athlete continues to perform at live events and recently confronted the Nigerian giant Omos.
Tonight’s segment might signal the end of Williams’ pursuit for the title, leaving fans curious about his future direction.
