WWE NXT Championship match set for No Mercy
Ricky Saints is heading to No Mercy.
Saints will get his shot at Oba Femi on September 27 after winning a number one contender’s match against Josh Briggs. This follows the events of Heatwave, where Saints confronted Femi after he successfully defeated Je’Von Evans to retain the NXT Championship.
Briggs cut off Saints’ promo at the start of the show and the two traded barbs, causing NXT General Manager Ava to come out and make the number one contendership match for later that night. The two fought back and forth but it was Saints who got the win with a tornado DDT to pick up the hard-fought victory.
After the match, Saints called out Oba Femi as the two proceeded to exchange words. Femi told Saints that he lied when he said he saw nothing in him at Heatwave, because what he sees now is fear. Suddenly, DarkState arrived and beat down the two until Hank & Tank ran out for the save. An eight-man tag team match was then made for next week’s show.
