We are back and Oba Femi makes his way to the ring.
Oba says since January 7, 2025, he has been your NXT Champion. He has put down all competitors. The best from NXT, TNA, Raw, and Smackdown. One by one they came and one by one they fell. That makes them footnotes. Now he sits at the top of the pedestal. Now it is dangerous because any man in his position will coast on his laurels.

Oba says they have one thing in common. They know what it is like to be strangers in a different place. This has been his kingdom and he has thrived since the beginning. You have had your struggles that made you go back to Japan. You came back and turned the tide and did it with a smile on your face. He says he sees beyond that smile.
