Oba Femi Wins NXT Championship at New Year’s Evil – At WWE NXT New Year’s Evil, Trick Williams defended the NXT Championship in a triple threat match against Oba Femi and Eddy Thorpe. However, chaos unfolded before the match even began. Thorpe was ambushed backstage, casting doubt on his participation. When the bout started, it seemed to become a one-on-one contest between Williams and Femi.
The action was intense as both competitors fought for dominance. Williams showcased his resilience, but the powerhouse Femi overpowered him with brute strength. Midway through the match, Thorpe made a dramatic return, storming to the ring and halting a referee count that could have secured victory for Williams.
With all three competitors battling for supremacy, the action escalated. Femi controlled much of the match with powerful slams, while Williams relied on his speed and cunning. In the final moments, Williams aimed for his signature Trick Shot on Femi, but the challenger dodged it. Seizing the opening, Thorpe attacked Williams with a steel chair. The brutal blow allowed Femi to capitalize, slamming Williams to the mat for the decisive pinfall.
Femi’s victory marks his first reign as NXT Champion. After securing the gold, he joined Giulia, who had won the NXT Women’s Championship earlier in the evening, for a victorious celebration on the stage, solidifying a historic night for both competitors.
