Oba Femi remains champion.
Oba Femi retained the NXT North American Championship at NXT Battleground, defeating Joe Coffey and Wes Lee in a triple threat match.
The finish saw Femi turn a meteora from Lee into a powerbomb and then hit a pop-up powerbomb on Coffey for the win.
The match included interference from Gallus (Mark Coffey & Wolfgang), who attacked Femi on the outside. Femi fought back and took both men out, but they regained their footing enough to prevent Lee from pinning Coffey after the Cardiac Kick.
Lee wiped out Mark & Wolfgang with a dive to end their time at ringside.

Ivar was originally slated to be in the match, but he suffered a legitmate injury and was taken out of the match by Gallus (Mark Coffey, Wolfgang, & Joe Coffey) to pave the way for Joe Coffey to replace him.
This marked the sixth successful title defense for Femi. He won the title on the January 9th episode of NXT when he cashed in his Men's Breakout Tournament Trophy on Dragon Lee.
