Ava Set to Address NXT Title After Oba Femi’s Exit

WWE is finally ready to adress Oba Femi leaving the NXT Championship in the ring and walked away from the brand.

This Tuesday, NXT GM Ava will appear live on television to address the status of the now-vacant NXT Title. WWE made the announcement on January 13, confirming that Ava will “speak on the championship situation” following Oba’s unexplained departure.

The news comes after Femi walked out without a word following his dominant victory at NXT New Year’s Evil. He didn’t explain his exit on the broadcast, but later posted a cryptic message on Instagram confirming his time in NXT was over.

The post, which featured an image of the abandoned title in the ring, sent shockwaves through the NXT fanbase — and now it’s Ava’s turn to respond.

With multiple major matches already set for the upcoming episode, including a No DQ bout between Joe Hendry and Dion Lennox and a TNA International Championship defense, Ava’s announcement is expected to reshape the brand heading into Royal Rumble season.

WWE isn’t wasting time. This move signals a fast pivot toward crowning a new champion — and fans are already predicting who could step into that spotlight next.
