On Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, Oba Femi cashed in his NXT Breakout Tournament contract on Dragon Lee after the latter defeated Lexis King to retain the NXT North American Title. Lee ended up losing the match and the title to Femi.
On a recent edition of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast, Tommy Dreamer evaluated Femi winning the NXT North American Title victory.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On Oba Femi: “Guy shined. Enjoyed his match. I have enjoyed what little work I have seen of him. Me, personally, I never like the babyface cashing something in on the other babyface, but the people were kind of in shock and happy. I would have loved to have seen Lexis King screw over Dragon Lee and then here comes Oba Femi and then the fans would have been very, very happy when that would have happened. So that was interesting to see. A lot of people I saw, like Corey Graves, a lot of WWE people said, ‘I said he was the guy.’”
On what’s next for Dragon Lee: “Excellent showing as always [for] Dragon Lee. I think he’s going to be, if he continues, he’ll be the next Rey Mysterio for the WWE. He’s got a world of potential … to continue to get over with the WWE Universe.”

In a surprising turn of events on Tuesday’s episode of WWE NXT, Oba Femi cashed in his NXT Breakout Tournament contract on Dragon Lee after Lee had successfully defended his NXT North American Title against Lexis King. This unexpected move resulted in Femi defeating Lee and becoming the new NXT North American Champion.
The outcome of this match has sparked discussions among wrestling fans and experts. Tommy Dreamer, a former professional wrestler and current commentator, shared his thoughts on Femi’s victory during a recent episode of the “Busted Open Radio” podcast.
Dreamer praised Femi’s performance, stating that the wrestler truly shined in the match. He admitted to enjoying the little work he had seen from Femi and acknowledged that many others within the WWE, including Corey Graves, had also recognized Femi’s potential. However, Dreamer expressed his personal preference for not having a babyface (a good guy) cash in on another babyface. He suggested that it would have been more satisfying to see Lexis King betray Dragon Lee, leading to Femi’s entrance and subsequently generating a greater reaction from the fans.
Regarding Dragon Lee, Dreamer had nothing but positive things to say. He commended Lee’s excellent showing in the match and predicted that if Lee continues to perform at such a high level, he could become the next Rey Mysterio for the WWE. Dreamer emphasized Lee’s immense potential and his ability to connect with the WWE Universe.
