Oba Femi relinquished the NXT Championship on tonight’s episode of NXT.
Femi successfully defended the belt against challenger TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater during the main event of the New Year’s Evil broadcast.
Femi was posing with the title when he kissed it. The cameras cut to the backstage area. GM Ava was addressing potentially new NXT recruits.
“There are going to be a lot of opportunities for NXT in 2026. J’von Evans, Trick Williams, Lash Legend and Jordynne Grace have all officially moved up to Raw or Smackdown. I am sure there is going to more. With that said, that opens up some space for potential NXT call-ups…” said Ava before she was cut off mid-sentence.
“I am so sorry to interrupt but did you just see what Oba just did?” asked Robert Stone bursting into the room.
Ava answered that she hadn’t.
The cameras went back to the ring where the NXT Championship was sitting vacated by Femi as the show went to credits.
From all appearances and the recent talk on Smackdown it appears as if Oba Femi is off to the blue brand which aired this promo of him on the December 26th episode.
