The May 13, 2025, episode of WWE NXT delivered a thunderous statement from the reigning NXT Champion, Oba Femi, who demolished No Quarter Catch Crew’s Charlie Dempsey in a dominating display of raw power, athleticism, and ring presence. In a night filled with action, it was Femi’s performance that left the NXT Universe buzzing and reminded everyone exactly why he sits atop the NXT mountain.
From the moment Femi stepped through the curtain, there was an unmistakable intensity in the air. Towering over his competition and exuding confidence, the champion looked more dangerous than ever. Charlie Dempsey, known for his technical prowess and grappling finesse, appeared ready for a grueling, methodical battle—but Femi had other plans. The bell rang, and within moments, it became clear this wasn’t going to be a wrestling clinic—it was going to be a beatdown.
Femi imposed his will early, shrugging off Dempsey’s attempts to tie him up on the mat. The champion effortlessly overpowered Dempsey at every turn, countering submission attempts with thunderous slams and brutal strikes. Dempsey’s resilience was admirable, as he repeatedly tried to use leverage and technique to slow Femi down. But the size and strength disparity was too much to overcome. Every time Dempsey gained a flicker of momentum, Femi shut it down with spine-rattling power moves.
Midway through the match, Femi showcased a terrifying blend of speed and agility, executing a running shoulder tackle that sent Dempsey flipping through the air. As the match progressed, chants of “Oba! Oba!” echoed through the Capitol Wrestling Center, further fueling the champion’s dominance. The end came decisively when Femi hoisted Dempsey high above his head and delivered his devastating powerbomb finisher—a move that has become his signature exclamation point. The referee counted three, and the message was clear: Oba Femi is not just champion—he is a force of nature.
After the match, Femi stood tall over his fallen opponent, holding the NXT Championship high above his head as the crowd roared. No Quarter Catch Crew’s Drew Gulak and Myles Borne attempted to check on their comrade, but they were met with a warning glare from Femi, who made it clear this was his ring.
Beyond the main event, the May 13 edition of NXT also saw key developments in several other storylines, including a heated backstage altercation between Roxanne Perez and Lash Legend, and a tag team brawl that erupted between The D’Angelo Family and Chase U. But no moment resonated louder than Oba Femi’s statement win.
With each passing week, Oba Femi continues to redefine what dominance looks like in NXT. He isn’t just winning—he’s annihilating the competition. As challengers line up and rivalries intensify, one thing is certain: whoever dares step to Oba Femi next better be ready for war.
