When people challenge me, I start to show them the true levels of their own talent. I make the exceptional, average, and in your case, I'm going to make The Absolute, absolutely mediocre,” the NXT Champion declared.Oba Femi and Ricky Saints are set to battle it out for the NXT Championship at NXT No Mercy on September 27.Oba Femi and Ricky Saints were interrupted by WWE Champions during their face-offWhile Femi and Saints were trying to send a message to each other before the match at No Mercy, WWE NXT Tag Team Champions, DarkState, made their presence felt by threatening both men to get out of the ring.Soon after, a beatdown broke out with DarkState trying to take down Femi and Saints before former tag champions, Hank and Tank, made their way out to even the odds.Fans will have to wait and see what the company has in store for the stars in the future.
