What About Ricky Saints, Je’Von Evans, and NXTNA
Over the last few weeks, the feud between Oba Femi and Ricky Saints involved Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater. Saints wants the NXT Championship gold back around his waist, by defeating Femi again if possible. Evans seeks revenge on Saints for making him lose his chance to become NXT Champion. Also, Slater and Evans may have teamed up recently. Evans could turn heel and then chase the X-Division Championship, which DarkState prevented him from winning, and the NXT Championship, which Slater could have won.
First, let’s hope not one of them got involved in the match. It has to be a fair win, with a nice handshake. Second, everything will happen after, depending on who becomes Champion. Je’Von Evans is also very close to making his main roster “real” debut. If Femi wins, Evans could have another title chance and more issues with Ricky Saints. If Slater wins, he will have two rosters running after him, including Saints and Evans, like in the final scene of “The Benny Hill Show” TV Series. Time will tell.
We asked some people across @WWENXT and @ThisIsTNA who will win between @Obaofwwe and @LEONSLATER_… 👀

Trick Williams captured the TNA World Championship; Jacy Jayne and Kelani Jordan became TNA Knockouts World Champions. The TNA X-Division Champion, the company’s flagship title, being the NXT Champion makes sense. If TNA Wrestling has to capture an NXT singles Championship, it has to be the man who holds the title that represents the company the best. The X-Division is TNA Wrestling’s DNA, something that has never been replicated elsewhere.
As I stated in my last match point, Hegel said that History is made of histories, like stories or moments. Watching this match will make you become a part of History. On Tuesday night, Oba Femi and Leon Slater will open the door for more stories and build the History of the wrestling business. History clock never stops, as Voltaire stated, “I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker.” I think that’s what “Clockmaker” Leon Slater would call making moments.
