Ricky Saints Costs Je’Von Evans the NXT Title – Oba Femi closed out the December 9 edition of WWE NXT with another successful title defense, putting the NXT Championship on the line against Je’Von Evans in a match filled with high stakes and unexpected twists. The bout came on the heels of Femi reclaiming the championship from Ricky Saints at NXT Deadline, restoring his position atop the brand. Evans, who originally earned a title opportunity at New Year’s Evil, opted to cash in early for a chance to challenge Femi on this week’s show, making the main event a meaningful moment for both competitors.
The match reached a chaotic turning point near the end, as Evans nearly secured the victory after connecting with his signature top-rope cutter. Just as the referee moved in for the decisive count, Ricky Saints appeared at ringside and pulled the official out of the ring. Evans immediately shifted his focus, launching himself over the top rope and crashing onto Saints to neutralize the interference. He quickly rolled back into the ring, trying to regain control of the match, but Femi had already regained his advantage.
From there, the champion showed no hesitation. Femi unleashed a brutal lariat that turned Evans inside out, followed by a thunderous powerbomb that sealed the victory. With this win, Femi extends his singles streak over Evans to three straight victories, dating back to their first encounter in March 2024.
The momentum now carries Femi into his next major challenge. Following his successful defense on NXT, the reigning champion is set to face WWE Champion Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event, adding another high-profile matchup to his growing list of tests as one of NXT’s most dominant forces.
