Oba Femi & Wes Lee SegmentÂ
Oba Femi: This feels all too familiar, doesn’t it? Once again, Oba, still the North American Champion. Still the ruler of NXT. And I did tell everybody who would listen to me, I told them, no matter how many people step up to me at Battleground, the result remains the same. So, I flew to Vegas, and I did what I do best, I dominated two men, Joe Coffey and Wes Lee, two of the greatest that NXT has to offer, but they’re nothing like me. There’s nobody like me. So, look in my eyes, and riddle me this. Who can ever take this title from me?
Wes Lee: Well, Oba, to answer your question, that would be me. You see, you know, I know, hell, everyone that watched in Vegas knows, you sure as hell didn’t pin me.
Oba Femi: Again? Again? Really, Wes? Listen, your little obsession with this title that was once yours is really beginning to irritate me.
Wes Lee: Is it? I don’t care. You see, when I came back, I was gunning for one thing. You. If you knew how badly I wanted to test myself against you, one-on-one. Hell, I had the opportunity to be in the battle royal for the NXT Championship, and I respectfully declined. Why? Because all of my energy, every ounce of my focus is on my North American Championship and getting it back.
Oba Femi: Wes, I’ve realized that you’re going in circles, round and round. And quite frankly, I’m tired of it, and I’m done.
Wes Lee:Â Oba. Don’t turn your back on me. You see, you have everything going for you right now. You are making headlines every week. You have guys like Big E saying that you are their favorite superstar. And they are treating like the greatest North American Champion, everywhere you go. But you know, deep down, what I am to that title, unless you do something about it. And I’m giving you that opportunity to. But just know, that you will be facing a different cardiac kid when you face me, one-on-one. And I’m going to show you exactly why it is my name in all of the record books, not yours.
Oba Femi: Wes, it seems like you have a lot of faith in yourself. It seems like all of these people have a lot of faith in you. They really believe that you can win back this title, but that’s neither here nor there. What really concerns me is changing those record books. So, Wes, I’ll give you, your one-on-one match. However, this will be the first and final time you challenge for this, as long as I’m champion. So, what’s it going to be, Wes?
Wes Lee: You got it.
