NXT GM Ava is reaching out to fans to help solve a massive problem.
On last week’s edition of NXT, Oba Femi successfully defended his NXT Championship defeating challenger and current TNA X Division Champion, Leon Slater.
Following the match, Femi posed with the title, kissed and left it in the middle of the ring vacating it. Officially, Femi has been called up to Smackdown.
Femi’s actions leave GM Ava in a very awkward position. She is hoping viewers can help her.
“Reply to this with your most unconventional, non traditional wrestling ideas of how to crown the next champion,” she wrote.
After being vacated by @Obaofwwe, @avawwe_ will address the future of the NXT Championship THIS TUESDAY on #WWENXT!

Ava will address the issue on this week’s NXT broadcast but some NXT talent and former NXT talent had ideas of their own:

I will hold onto it for the time being.
We will hold a tournament in my name!
The King’s gambit we shall call it!
The winner of the tournament gets a shot at a number one contenders match against an opponent of my choosing…
Then the winner of that match faces ME for the NXT…
