A massive star won a major WWE title last week. He has now broken his silence during tonight's show.

Oba Femi has been a destructive force in the ring ever since he debuted in NXT. He won the Breakout tournament and then cashed in to become the North American Champion. He held the title for 273 days, making him the longest-reigning NA Champion in history.

After losing the title, Oba Femi participated in the Iron Survivor Challenge and won, thereby earning him an NXT Championship match at NXT New Year's Evil. Last week, Femi overcame Trick Williams and Eddie Thorpe to win the NXT Championship.

Tonight on WWE NXT, Oba Femi kicked off the show. He said that Trick Williams hit his ceiling last week, but he doesn't have a ceiling. He also issued a first and final warning to Eddie Thorpe to stay out of his business. Tony D'Angelo came out and congratulated Femi. He reminded the NXT Champion that he had previously beaten him. He also said that when he chooses to come after the NXT Championship, then he will be walking out a double champion.

It looks like Oba Femi already has a major challenger waiting to get a title shot against him.

According to him, The Tribal Chief needed the victory more than Brock Lesnar, as the latter was already an established performer when he defeated ‘Taker. He would’ve also made that as Taker’s final match.
