Oba Femi Returns to NXT, Set Sights on Ricky Saints – The November 11 episode of WWE NXT on The CW closed with a shocking moment as former NXT Champion Oba Femi made his long-awaited return to television. Femi appeared in the final seconds of the show, moments after Ricky Saints successfully defended the NXT Championship against Trick Williams in a grueling Last Man Standing Match.
Femi had been absent from NXT programming since the No Mercy Premium Live Event in September, where he lost the title to Saints. His brief but impactful return—cutting off before he could be fully seen—immediately reignited speculation about his next move and whether he’s targeting the man who ended his reign.
The main event between Saints and Williams was a fitting end to their months-long feud. The two rivals delivered a violent, chaotic brawl that featured kendo sticks, tables, and several high-impact moments. The closing sequence saw Saints spear Williams off the stands and through the announce table. Both men barely made it to their feet before the referee’s ten count, but Saints managed to rise just in time, shoving Williams back down to secure the victory.
Before losing at No Mercy, Oba Femi had dominated the NXT Championship scene throughout 2025. He captured the title from Williams at New Year’s Evil on January 7 and went on to defend it successfully against top names including Austin Theory, Grayson Waller, Je’Von Evans, Moose, and Yoshiki Inamura.
With Femi now back on the scene, a potential rematch between him and Ricky Saints could be on the horizon—setting the stage for another explosive chapter in NXT’s championship picture.
