After closing a historic chapter last year as the longest reigning NXT North American Champion, Oba Femi began a new journey this past Tuesday at New Year’s Evil as the new NXT Champion, eliminating two-time champion Trick Williams and his additional challenger Eddy Thorpe. their bases. Being the supreme champion brings mountain-worthy obstacles and challenges, and Femi hopes to come out the other side with the championship intact. But “The Ruler” may be barking up the wrong tree after targeting eight-time WWE Champion and “Final Boss” Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Frustrated that the NXT Championship match did not close out this week’s pay-per-view event, Femi expressed his displeasure on “Broken open radio” stating that this should not have been Rock’s segment that concluded the series. Femi says his remarkable moment was cut shorter than it should have been. “At that moment, the time was being stolen from me; I didn’t even realize it was being stolen from me. Maybe if I had known, I would have gone to him and said, ‘Hey , Uncle Dwayne, what is this? How’s it going ? I’m going to let it go this time, but the next time Uncle Dwayne comes to steal my time, there will be problems,” Femi warned.
Similar to Rock’s appearance at the premiere of “WWE Raw” on Netflix last Monday, “The People’s Champ” expressed his admiration for the fans and the fighting spirit of the “NXT” roster, making “NXT” an essential program. But in Femi’s eyes, his moment was stolen from him. It will be interesting to see how “The Final Boss” responds to the new NXT Champion’s remarks.
