WWE NXT Championship will be on the line on next week’s weekly NXT episode on The CW, with the current champion taking on a future star-power of the show. As made official during last night’s NXT, Oba Femi will put his NXT title on the line against WWE LFG Season 1 winner Jasper Troy on the Tuesday, June 10 episode.
Next week’s WWE NXT will mark Troy’s second match on mainstay WWE television. Upon his debut last week, Troy ran over Dante Chen to secure a win in under four minutes, shortly after winning the first series of “WWE LFG: Legends and Future Greats” alongside former Olympic gold medalist Tyra Mae Steele on May 18.

The two finally came face-to-face last night, alongside Stevie Turner and Robert Stone, to make their title match official. They also signed the contract, after which WWE subsequently announced the title bout with a graphic.
