The May 6 episode of WWEs NXT brand brought a big show to The CW. Fans wanted to see who would get to face Oba Femi at Battleground, and they had quite a match to figure that out.
A 25-man battle royal was a highlight of the night during NXT this week. You didnt know who might show up, as everyone wanted to face The Ruler for his title.
This match went down near the end of the shows first hour. Trick Williams got his own entrance, and then they cut to commercial break while the ring filled up with competitors. This was a battle royal setup, and not a royal rumble, so everyone started in the ring.
JeVon Evans was just coming out as they went back to the action. Then Ethan Page got the another introduction by himself. Then Elijah made his return to NXT as the surprising final entrance. There were a few notable names from outside NXT in the match, including Zachary Wentz, Swipe Right, and Sihlo from LFG.
This battle royal was wild, and bodies were flying all over the place. Trick Williams was doing pretty well in the match, but then Joe Hendry came out. This distracted Williams enough, so Elijah could eliminate him. Then Shawn Spears threw out the former Elias.
Myles Borne, Ethan Page, Shawn Spears, and JeVon Evans were the final four in the match. Evans was thrown out by Spears and Page. Then Ethan and Spears eliminated each other, giving Borne the big win as a huge underdog. Now the No Quarter Catch Crew representative will take on Oba Femi at Battleground.
We will have to see if Oba Femi has finally met his match. After all, a lot of things can happen in the meantime.
