Oba Femi breaks out in a big way.
At WWE NXT New Year's Evil, Oba Femi defeated Riley Osbourne of Chase University to win the WWE NXT Men's Breakout Tournament. Femi pulled off the victory with the Pop-Up Powerbomb.
As a result of this victory, Femi has earned a contract that he can cash in for a championship match at any time, similar to the WWE Money in the Bank briefcase.
Unreal.
