Oba Femi made his shocking comeback tonight. He has set his sights on a major WWE championship.

He had a dominant reign as champion. After losing the title, he went on to capture the NXT Championship. Oba looked unstoppable as the ultimate champion of the black and silver brand. However, that all changed at No Mercy 2025 when Ricky Saints challenged him for the title. The former AEW star was able to dethrone Oba and win the NXT title. The Ruler has not been seen on television since.

Tonight on NXT, Ricky Saints defended his NXT title in a brutal Last Man Standing Match against Trick Williams. After the former AEW star won the match, Oba's music played and he walked out, hinting that he had his eyes on the NXT title.
