There’s a new ruler in town for NXT as the often-impressive
Nigerian star regained the NXT title from Ricky Saints last
night at Deadline.
Femi won the match after hitting a couple of powerbombs,
ending Saints’ 70-day reign as champion.
This is Femi’s second run with the title, with his first one
lasting 263 days after he won it at New Year’s Evil this past
January. Femi lost the belt to Saints at the No Mercy premium
live event at the end of September.
With this win, Femi has now secured his match against WWE
champion Cody Rhodes on Saturday Night’s Main Event next
weekend.
