Oba Femi Retains NXT Championship in Brutal Triple Threat at Stand & Deliver

WWE’s NXT brand held Stand & Deliver at the T-Mobile Arena on April 19. The event was scheduled before WrestleMania 41 and featured several title matches throughout the card. The NXT Title was defended on the card, and this was quite a battle for the brand’s top prize.

One of the main matches was for the NXT Championship. Oba Femi defended his title in a triple threat match against Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans.

This match was the main event for the Stand & Deliver show, as it went on right after Stephanie Vaquer was able to retain her title in a grueling match.

The NXT Title match also received a big fight feel from Mike Rome after each competitor had a chance to make their way to the ring. This match had an explosive start as everyone wanted to throw their weight around to gain an advantage.

We will have to see what’s next for NXT. You never know what Shawn Michaels and his crew will book next, but Stand & Deliver was certainly a big event for the company’s developmental brand.

Je’Von Evans didn’t let his size disadvantage get to him at all. In fact, he was in the thick of the match. That being said, he was also against Trick Williams and Oba Femi, two men who proved that they can shift the match in their favor in a moment’s notice.

At one point, Trick Williams hit a double stacked superplex while sitting on Oba Femi’s shoulders. Fans chanted “fight forever” as they kept going. Needless to say, this main event delivered in many ways.

Je’Von Evans nearly got the win after a great sequence that ended with a top rope cutter. Then Trick Williams took the referee out of the match before Evans dove on him. In the end, Femi sent Evans through the barricade and then Trick nailed a Rock Bottom through the announce table, but the referee was out cold. The referee came back, but then Oba Femi broke up a pinfall attempt from Williams.

Then Evans hit his finisher on Williams, but Williams took him out with a Trick Shot. This was followed by Oba Femi nailing his sitdown powerbomb on Evans for the win to retain his title after a hard-fought match.
