NXT Deadline also advertised two Iron Survivor matches and Ethan Page vs. Mr. Iguana for the WWE NXT North American Championship.
In the opening match Oba Femi defeated Ricky Saints and will go on to face Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

Oba Femi Def. Ricky Saints And Will Face Cody Rhodes At SNME
- There was overwhelming support for Oba Femi early, but as people started chanting “Oba,” in Goldberg fashion, the Ricky Saints fans came alive by chanting “Ricky!” Fans especially sided with Saints when he did his signature rope walk, but Saints was promptly cut off.
- Booker T was in full-0n Booker T mode five minutes into this match and it was glorious to hear. Oba Femi took over the match after an early assault by Saints. Oba smothered Saints against the ropes and peppered him with forearms in the corner.
- Femi continued to dominate, applying the pressure to Saints as fans in the Boeing center rallied behind Ricky. Femi was so far ahead in this match early on, he started sarcastically doing pushups.
- Saints launched a comeback, this time capping off his rope walk with a hurricanrana. Saints followed up with a spear for a nearfall. Saints trapped Femi in a submission as Oba Femi faded. Oba fought his way out before being dumped to the outside. A dazed Oba barely made it back into the ring.
- Oba Femi fired up. He deadlifted Ricky from the ground and dropped him with a modified powerslam for another nearfall. Oba rolled to the outside. As Ricky charged Femi on the apron, Femi chopped him hard. Back came Saints with a tornado DDT on the steel step. Vic Joseph noted that it took four DDTs to take out Femi at No Mercy.
- Oba Femi shook off Saints’ DDT and caught him with the Fall from Grace after multiple attempts. Oba won his second NXT Championship and his first match with Cody Rhodes at Saturday Night’s Main Event. After the match, the two world champions shook hands.
