NXT Champion Oba Femi does not have his troubles to seek but now he has one more as he was confronted by a reigning TNA Champion.

Oba Femi retained his NXT Championship at Vengeance Day but the real story came after that match. Femi was attacked by a mysterious group whose vignettes had aired in the lead-up to that show.

On the February 18 edition of NXT, Oba Femi came to the ring to talk about that attack but he was soon interrupted by, to the shock of everyone, TNA X-Division Champion Moose.

Moose Confronts Oba Femi

WWE and TNA have been in partnership in recent months but this is the first time Moose has appeared in WWE during his career. Moose told Oba Femi he was the only man that Femi could not rule over and noted that a match between the pair had to happen. Both men held up their respective titles as the segment ended.

But Moose’s night was not done as it turns out he’ll be part of a title match sooner than he thought. Backstage Moose was confronted by Heritage Cup champion Lexis King who took delight in reminding Moose that he had defeated his partner in The System JDC the prior week.

King continued, noting he was annoyed that TNA stars kept challenging for NXT titles without putting their own gold on the line. Moose quickly shut King up as he said all he had to do was ask and confirmed he’d face King next week on NXT with his TNA X-Division Title on the line.
