Oba Femi’s potential blockbuster match at WWE NXT Stand & Deliver
Oba Femi’s meteoric rise in WWE NXT has culminated in a potentially blockbuster match at NXT Stand & Deliver, set to take place on April 6. After claiming victory in the NXT Men’s Breakout Tournament at NXT New Year’s Evil, where he beat Riley Osbourne in the final, Femi wasted no time in making an impact. He cashed in his contract to beat Dragon Lee and captured the NXT North American Championship.
Since capturing the title, Femi has embarked on a dominating run as the NXT North American Champion, solidifying his status as one of NXT’s brightest stars. However, with NXT Stand & Deliver on the horizon, Femi faces a formidable challenge in the form of a potential triple-threat match to defend his championship.
The latest edition of NXT saw tensions escalate as Josh Briggs confronted Femi for injuring his friend, Brooks Jensen, leading to a heated confrontation. Donovan Dijak also entered the fray, expressing his desire for a title shot against Femi. Both Briggs and Dijak are vying for an opportunity at the NXT North American Championship. Thus, the NXT general manager Ava Raine could set the stage for a showdown at Stand & Deliver.
