A top champion will be taking on a suprise opponent tonight on WWE NXT. CM Punk confirmed that he was not the surprise opponent.

Ever since his debut in NXT, Oba Femi has been a dominant force in the ring. He quickly won the Breakout Tournament and then won the NXT North American Championship. Since then, he has established himself as a dominant champion. He has destroyed everyone who has stepped up to challenge him, including Tony D'Angelo.

Oba Femi made things personal with the D'Angelo Family when he insulted Adrianna Rizzo. Tonight on NXT, Femi is set to face a surprise opponent. Earlier in the night, NXT Anonymous posted a video of Tony D'Angelo offering money to the surprise opponent to finish off Femi. However, this person's face wasn't visible. Many people were speculating that this person could be Punk.

However, The Straight Edge Superstar posted on his Instagram Story, confirming that he was not going to be facing Femi tonight.

"This is not me, I have enough problems."
