Oba Femi and Giulia became #1 contenders for the NXT and NXT
Women’s titles respectively after yesterday they came out as
the winners of the two Iron Survivor Challenge matches at
Deadline.
Oba Femi was not originally in the match but took the place
of Eddy Thorpe, who was attacked this past Tuesday on NXT.
Femi had pinfall victories on Je’Von Evans, Nathan Frazer,
and Wes Lee, winning the match in the last three seconds
pinning both Frazer and Lee with a double chokeslam. Femi
was the last person to enter the match.
Femi had been out of action since losing the NXT North
American title to Tony D’Angelo at Halloween Havoc.
Meanwhile, the women’s match headlined Deadline and Giulia
is now in line for her second NXT Women’s title shot. Giulia
was the first person to enter the match and had pinfalls on
Wren Sinclair and newcomer Zaria, who she pinned with nine
seconds to go. Stephanie Vaquer was the only one who did not
get pinned in the match.
