Oba Femi has been dominant since winning the NXT North American Title. At Heatwave, he faced Wes Lee, who was determined to reclaim the title. Wes Lee endured significant punishment in his pursuit.
In the Last Chance match for the NXT North American Championship, the stakes were high: if Femi won, Lee would never be able to challenge for the title as long as Femi remained champion.
The Toronto crowd was fully engaged as both competitors delivered an intense performance. Femi inflicted considerable punishment on Lee, including a powerful toss that elicited “holy sh*t” chants from the NXT Universe. The action escalated when Femi shoved Lee over the top rope.
Booker T described the match as “easy work” for Oba Femi as he continued his assault. Lee, hanging on the turnbuckle, managed to dodge a spear and seized the opportunity to mount an offense. He executed quick moves and a tornado DDT for a near fall, energizing the crowd.
However, Femi regained control, climbing to the top rope with Lee on his shoulders. Lee fought back, hitting an X-Factor from the top followed by his finisher kick, but it only resulted in a two count.
The match continued with back-and-forth action until Femi caught Lee and delivered a shoulder breaker outside the ring. Femi then secured the clean win, solidifying his reign.
This victory for Oba Femi raises the question of who can stop him and take the title from his shoulder.
