On the latest episode of WWE NXT, Duke Hudson challenged Oba Femi for the North American Championship. The match took place in the main event of the show.

The Chase U member hit a hurricanrana on the champion and dropped him with a shoulder block followed by a DDT. Hudson sent Femi to the outside with a clothesline. Oba Femi hit back at Duke Hudson with a series of strikes and planted him with a sidewalk slam in the ring.

He then hit Duke with two backbreakers and got a two-count. The tides turned as the challenger rocked the NXT North American Champion with a big boot. Duke Hudson struck Oba in the mid-section and knocked down the big man with a big clothesline.

He wiped out the champion at ringside with a dive and hit a suplex but only got a two-count. The Chase U member nailed Oba with a Stratusfaction in the corner. The latter then planted Duke with a chokeslam for another nearfall.

Finally, Oba Femi performed the Fall From Grace pop-out powerbomb to win the match via pinfall and retain the title. Duke Hudson planned on winning the coveted North American Championship for the first time in his career, but his plan was unsuccessful as he lost the bout tonight.
