Oba Feminists rise.
Oba Femi wasted little time cashing in his NXT Men's Breakout Tournament contract to defeat Dragon Lee and win the NXT North American Title on the January 9 episode of NXT.
Lee had just defeated Lexis King in the main event when Oba declared he was exercising his contract. Oba won with the last ride powerbomb.
WAIT A MINUTE!!!
