Former NXT Champion returns, confronts Ricky Saints
Posted: Nov 12th 2025 By: Bryan Rose
Oba Femi has returned.
The former NXT Champion appeared in the closing moments of Tuesday’s show, immediately after Ricky Saints retained the NXT Championship over Trick Williams in a Last Man Standing match. Femi hadn’t been seen since the No Mercy PLE in September when he lost the title to Saints.
Saints and Williams capped off their feud on Tuesday, battling in what was a brutal and bloody match filled with kendo sticks and table bumps. After Saints speared Williams off the stands and into the announce table nearby, both struggled to make it to their feet before the count of ten. Saints made it to his feet and piefaced Williams back to the floor, standing tall as the referee counted to ten and awarded him the match. But the final seconds of NXT saw Femi make a brief appearance, cutting out before he could be seen in full.
Prior to No Mercy, Femi had held the NXT Championship for most of the year, defeating Williams at New Year’s Evil back on January 7. During 2025 he was successful against the likes of Austin Theory, Grayson Waller, Je’Von Evans, Moose, and Yoshiki Inamura.
