With <strong>Wes Lee<\/strong> back from injury, he hopes to reclaim the title he believes he popularised. <strong>Joe Coffey<\/strong> and <strong>Josh Briggs<\/strong> believe they deserve their own shots at the gold too.<\/p>\n<p>Lee, Coffey, and Briggs will meet on the May 21 edition of <em>NXT<\/em> to determine who will be next in line for the title. The only problem is that Femi is quite the formidable champion, and it has become clear that he has no intentions to let go of the title anytime soon. When the three clash, it will be a battle of who wants the gold more, as well as who is willing to do whatever it takes to place themselves in the prime position for the title. It can be expected that Femi will be watching this match closely.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Wes Lee, Ivar and Josh Briggs line up for chance at Oba Femi: NXT highlights, May 14, 2024\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qM36Cv19AgY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h3>NXT Women&#8217;s North American Championship Qualifiers Continue<\/h3>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-50\">The NXT Women&#8217;s North American Championship qualifiers continue on this weekend.
