Oba Femi says it’s time to back up everything he has said.
Femi’s NXT career reached a new high at NXT New Year’s Evil. He won the NXT Championship by defeating Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe in a Triple Threat Match.
Speaking on Busted Open Radio, Oba Femi was asked to comment on what was going through his head when he won the title. He stated that it was time to back up what he had said.
“At that moment, as soon as the three count hit, I realized in my head, I’m like, okay, now it’s time to back up everything I’ve said,” Femi said. “Destiny, ruler, athlete, it’s time to back everything up. Everybody wants to be in the spot, and then they get there and they coast. So right now, my objective is to prove everyone that believed in me and trusted in me that their product is in good hands.”
Oba Femi On Trick Williams
Femi was then asked whether he would give Williams a rematch, given that Trick lost the title in a three-way match.
“I doubt that. In the first place, he was the one who made it a triple threat,” Oba Femi said. “Initially, it was supposed to be me and him going into the Tuesday special, into New Year’s Evil. He added Eddy, and then now..if he came up to me and he said, ‘Let’s run it back, let’s do it again,’ I don’t think he deserves it. I think at this point, he has to jump back two spots in back of the line. I told him to do one on one, he added Eddy against my wishes. Now, he’s eating his words. So I think he should get full and digest on those words right now.
