The 6-foot-5 superstar challenged The Ruler for the title last month on NXT but was unsuccessful. Before his match against Inamura, a video package aired of Troy cutting a promo backstage. He said he wanted a rematch against Oba Femi.

During the #1 contender's match, Jasper Troy delivered a kick to the midsection, a bodyslam, and a jumping elbow drop. He then sent Yoshiki into the corner and nailed him with a clothesline. The Japanese star took down the big man with a back suplex and hit him with a jumping elbow. Troy caught Yoshiki Inamura and dropped him with a sidewalk slam.

The WWE LFG winner did three big splashes but only got a two-count. He then planted Inamura with a World's Strongest Slam before getting sent into the ringpost. Jasper Troy did a Black Hole Slam and went for another big splash, but Yoshiki Inamura got his knees up.

Yoshiki then planted Troy with two bodyslams and hit a frog splash to win the match. He pulled off a major upset and has earned the right to challenge Oba Femi for the NXT Championship.
