WWE star Oba Femi throws opponent through table from ring during Heatwave match, retains title

Oba Femi showed off his brute strength as he retained the NXT Championship against Je’Von Evans at Heatwave on Sunday night.

Femi has been one of the most dominant superstars since he joined the WWE NXT roster. He’s been the NXT champion since he defeated Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe in a triple-threat match at New Year’s Evil back on Jan. 7. Since then, he’s knocked down every wrestler who stepped up to him.

But Evans proved to be a more unique challenger given his agility and acrobatics. He showed those off as he delivered a cutter off what could have been a damaging slam. Evans thought he had the match won but one NXT referee dismissed another’s three count, claiming Femi was able to break up the count.

Femi was done playing around with Evans – and it showed. He picked up his opponent and tossed him from the ring through the announce table. The crowd in Lowell, Massachusetts, went wild for the spot. He put Evans back into the ring, hit his finishing move and pinned Evans for the win.

After the dust settled, Ricky Saints appeared in the ring. Saints stepped up to Femi as if to say that he was his next challenger.
