NXT Championship match confirmed for Deadline
A match for the NXT Championship is now set for Deadline.
Oba Femi will challenge Ricky Saints for the NXT Championship on December 6 in San Antonio, Texas. As Saints was set to deliver a promo on Tuesday, Femi immediately cut him off and the two had a war of words, with Femi saying he took time off to go to the motherland and become the version of himself that will beat Saints at Deadline. The two agreed to the title match for next month.
Suddenly, Trick Williams arrived and said he wasn’t done with Saints and wouldn’t be until he is NXT Champion once again. However, he was then jumped from behind by Myles Borne, retaliation for Williams’ involvement in his match from last week. Borne told the two that he would win the men’s Iron Survivor Challenge and see them at New Year’s Evil.
Femi had been NXT Champion for most of the year, winning it at New Year’s Evil. However, Saints ended his nine-month reign at No Mercy. After Saints stood tall over Williams in their Last Man Standing match on last week’s NXT, Femi returned, making it clear he was aiming for the title once again.
NXT Deadline (December 6):
- NXT Championship: Ricky Saints defends against Oba Femi
- Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge: participants TBA
- Women’s Iron Survivor Challenge: participants TBA
