Oba Femi emerged victorious at WWE New Year’s Evil 2025, capturing the NXT Championship in a thrilling Triple Threat match against Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe. This victory marks a significant milestone in Femi's career and a new era for the NXT Championship.
The match began with a dramatic twist as Eddy Thorpe claimed he had been attacked backstage. NXT General Manager Ava was skeptical, believing Thorpe was faking it, but the match continued as planned. Despite the uncertainty, Oba Femi remained confident, declaring that he would walk out as champion regardless of Thorpe's involvement.
As the match progressed, Femi showcased his incredible strength and determination, ultimately pinning Trick Williams to secure the win. This victory not only crowned him the new NXT Champion but also ended Williams' reign at 99 days.
Oba Femi's triumph follows closely on the heels of Giulia's win over Roxanne Perez for the NXT Women’s Championship earlier in the night, making it a night of new beginnings for WWE NXT. Femi's previous record as the longest-reigning NXT North American Champion at 272 days suggests that he may hold the NXT Championship for an extended period.
The NXT Championship landscape has undoubtedly changed with Femi's win, and fans are already speculating about who will be next to challenge him. With his dominant performance and unwavering confidence, Oba Femi has firmly established himself as the new face of NXT.
