This week saw new NXT Champion Oba Femi address his victory over Trick Williams and Eddie Thorpe, only to be interrupted by Tony D'Angelo, who was then confronted by Ridge Holland. Former NXT Women's Champion Roxanne Perez also addressed her future after losing her title to Giulia, only to be confronted by Bayley.
