Oba Femi Cashes In, Wins NXT North American Title – During the January 9 WWE NXT episode, Dragon Lee valiantly defended his NXT North American Championship against Lexis King, following a heated backstage altercation earlier in the evening.
However, Lee’s triumph was short-lived as the night took a surprising turn when Oba Femi emerged, armed with his NXT Men’s Breakout Tournament contract, eager for an unplanned chance at the title. In a rapid but intense clash, Femi executed a decisive move, flooring Lee and claiming victory to seize the coveted championship.
Lee’s reign as North American titleholder culminated at 32 days, commencing with his triumph over Dominik Mysterio at NXT Deadline. Notably filling in for the injured Wes Lee, Dragon Lee, who had been elevated to SmackDown earlier in the summer, faced an unexpected conclusion to his tenure as champion.
Femi, a WWE stalwart since 2022, burst onto the televised scene during the 2023 Breakout tournament. Overcoming formidable opponents like Myles Borne, Tavion Heights, and Riley Osborne, Femi emerged triumphant, establishing his ascent to the pinnacle of NXT.
