"I hope that person is you" - Oba Femi sends a warning to current WWE champion; vows to end massive reign

Oba Femi has his sights set on a top WWE champion. He just vowed to end his title reign.

Trick Williams has been the top guy in NXT this year. He won the NXT Championship twice. Currently, he is in his second reign as champion after he won the title from Ethan Page on the October 1 episode of NXT. However, he could soon be facing his toughest opponent yet.

Oba Femi won the Iron Survivor Challenge at NXT Deadline and earned the chance to face Trick for the title at New Year's Evil. However, before that match, Trick has to defend the title tonight against Eddy Thorpe.

The NXT Champion was interviewed before the match but was interrupted by Femi. The latter told him he would take the title from someone in three weeks, and he hoped that person was Trick.

"I just came to tell you good luck on your match with Eddy tonight because whoever wins becomes NXT Champion and faces me, and for what it's worth, I hope you win tonight because in three weeks at New Year's Evil, I'm going to be taking the NXT Championship from somebody and I hope that person is you," Femi said.
