NXT Championship:
Oba Femi (c) vs. Austin Theory vs. Grayson Waller
Steve McCleary (75% accurate in 2025):
I’ve seen Femi compete in a triple threat before, and the things that usually throw off athletes he just used in his favour. He dominated that match, even though it was fairly early in his career. Now? Many months later? He may have to survive a while in what’s essentially a handicap match, but we know the allure of gold will tear A-Town Down Under asunder. And then he’ll rip apart the scraps.
Winner: Oba Femi
AJ Murtagh (75% accurate in 2025):
Obama Femi has proven himself to be an imposing NXT Champion in very short order. I think his sheer physicality, combined with what I believe to be cracks showing in the relationship between Waller and Theory, will lead to a successful title defense.
Winner: Oba Femi
David Dunn (75% accurate in 2025):
There is an energy around Australian wrestling this weekend. Might it be able to carry itself all the way to Washington DC? I don’t know, but being in Brisbane, there’s an unshakable feeling that Australia is on the rise…
Winner: Grayson Waller
Grady Hooker (50% accurate in 2025):
A-Town Down Under can’t even hold it together on NXT, how do you think they will do when a singles championship is on the line? Add the fact that Femi is an absolute unit who could crush either of them with his bare hands into dust.
Winner: Oba Femi
Sammy G (25% accurate in 2025):
The initially playful tension between Waller and Theory has made for interesting viewing, while Oba Femi has been an imposing, but sometimes confused, bystander through it all. At Vengeance Day, the antics of A-Town Down Under won’t be enough to bring down a focused Femi, and he will walk away victorious.
Winner: Oba Femi
