Jaspert Roy is set to face OBA FEMI for the NXT Championship on next week’s episode of “WWE NXT,” marking his second match with the brand. Roy earned his debut by defeating Dan Techen in under four minutes on last week’s show after winning the inaugural “WWE LFG: Legends and Future Greats” tournament alongside former Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mais Steal on May 18. The matchup was officially confirmed on Tuesday when both competitors signed the contract while maintaining intense eye contact, followed by a graphic announcement of the title bout.
Roy has been part of WWE since joining the Performance Center Class in August 2022, making his televised debut on “NXT LEVEL UP” in May 2024. He has been active on the house show circuit since May 2023, and this will be OBA FEMI’s sixth title defense since he captured the championship in January.
Fan Take: This matchup highlights WWE’s ongoing commitment to showcasing fresh talent and elevating new stars in NXT. Fans should be excited to see how Jaspert Roy’s rapid rise impacts the championship landscape, potentially shaking up the division and bringing fresh energy to the sport.
