He has quite a volatile challenge this Tuesday, as he defends the gold against Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura in a triple-threat match.<\/p>\n<p>Briggs and Inamura have clashed over how a title opportunity should be approached, and this could make for quite an intriguing dynamic. With triple-threat matches being where he shines most, will Femi prove his dominance once more? Or could Briggs or Inamura cash in on the chaos and walk away with the win?<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Who do you got when <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Obaofwwe?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@Obaofwwe<\/a> defends his NXT Championship against <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/noah_yoshiki?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">@noah_yoshiki<\/a> and Josh Briggs in a Triple Threat Match THIS TUESDAY on <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/WWENXT?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#WWENXT<\/a>? <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udccd HOUSTON<br \/>\ud83c\udf9f\ufe0f <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/26MwKF4don\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/t.co\/26MwKF4don<\/a> <a  href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/VmsGv9JyrA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/VmsGv9JyrA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; WWE NXT (@WWENXT) <a  href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/WWENXT\/status\/1946721735132447112?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">July 20, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Blake Monroe&#8217;s NXT TV In-Ring Debut<\/h2>\n<p>Blake Monroe is set to make her NXT TV in-ring debut this week.
