Oba Femi retained the NXT Championship against Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans in the main event of Stand & Deliver 2025 earlier today, ahead of WrestleMania Night One.
Femi, Williams, and Evans pushed each other to the absolute limit. The Young OG came close to winning the title more than once, and the same could be said for Trick. The former NXT Champion even took out the referee, but it backfired massively, as he couldn’t get the three count on Je’Von after connecting with The Trick Shot.
Oba Femi retained the title after taking Williams out. He connected with his finishing maneuver on Evans and kept him down for the three count.

The 26-year-old superstar won the title by defeating Williams in a Triple Threat Match, also involving Eddy Thorpe, on January 7, 2025. He then followed up with a successful title defense in another Triple Threat Match, involving Grayson Waller and Austin Theory. At NXT Roadblock on March 11, Femi defeated TNA’s Moose to retain the NXT Championship.
Oba Femi’s next challenger hasn’t been revealed as of now. The NXT men’s division is stacked with talent, and with Evans coming agonizingly close to winning the title, a singles match between him and Femi could also be in store for the future. However, nothing has been confirmed.
