In a shocking turn of events, The Undertaker appears completely out of the blue in this week’s WWE NXT episode.
Oba Femi found himself on the receiving end of The Undertaker’s unexpected confrontation backstage, where he claimed dominion over NXT. However, an ominous warning followed from The Undertaker about some imminent arrivals from WWE LFG.
An augmenting camera shot displayed Shiloh Hill, Anthony Luke, and Jasper Troy, who were standing next to Femi. Undeterred, Oba expressed a fearless sentiment, saying he’s ready to face the coming challenge.
“This is your yard… for now.”

During the same WWE NXT episode, Trick Williams gave a speech to the NXT Universe and Joe Hendry. He gloated about his Hollywood stint, featuring in the All American season finale on The CW Network and jabbed Hendry with words. Post his unexpected assault on Hendry during TNA Rebellion 2025, Williams shifted his targets and shared his intention to take on Oba Femi for the NXT Championship. However, his plan is yet to materialize.
Ava, the WWE NXT General Manager retorted to Williams’ unauthorized misconduct at TNA Rebellion. Williams retaliated claiming he had transcended NXT, audaciously branding himself as the most significant star in both NXT and TNA. Acknowledging his aspirations, Ava clarified to Williams that to earn a title shot, he has to win a 25-man Battle Royal scheduled for May 6. The victor will get to contest Oba Femi for the NXT Championship at WWE NXT Battleground in Tampa, Florida.
