Folks, buckle up because what went down on “WWE NXT” tonight was huge. The wrestling world has been buzzing, and now we know why. Alex Hammerstone, former MLW World Heavyweight Champion and current TNA star, made a surprise appearance to answer Oba Femi’s open challenge for the NXT North American Championship. And let me tell you, the match was a barnburner—packed with all the intensity, drama, and suplexes you could dream of. Big, big moves!
Now, earlier in the day, we got some intel—rumors flying that Hammerstone had been spotted at the WWE Performance Center. It turns out those weren’t just rumors, folks. Hammerstone and Femi were rehearsing some magic in the ring, all leading up to tonight’s monumental showdown. And as a little bonus twist, Tony D’Angelo—our resident dealmaker—was caught on camera paying off a mystery figure to handle Femi. And who was that mystery figure? You guessed it—Hammerstone himself. Can you say drama?
The match kicked off, and Hammerstone wasted no time getting the upper hand. He sent Femi crashing into the mat, then flung him out of the ring with a clothesline that could knock down a building. Classic Hammerstone, folks—he’s got strength like you’ve never seen, and he showed it off in spades. But here’s the thing about Oba Femi: the guy doesn’t stay down. Not for long, anyway.
As we headed into the closing moments, Hammerstone tried to seal the deal with two belly-to-belly suplexes and a monstrous chokeslam. He went for the pin, but Femi kicked out, proving once again why he’s held onto that North American Championship like a champ. With the momentum shifting, Femi came roaring back. He hit Hammerstone with a massive slam, followed by a powerbomb that shook the entire arena. Boom. One, two, three—Femi retains, marking his 11th successful defense on live TV. What a reign!
Since his departure from MLW in 2023, Hammerstone’s been tearing it up in TNA, feuding with top-tier talent like Eric Young and Josh Alexander. But tonight, he stepped into the “NXT” ring as part of the ongoing WWE and TNA partnership, bringing some serious star power.
This isn’t the last we’ll see of Hammerstone, folks. Whether in TNA or WWE, the guy’s on a roll. Stay tuned because you know things are about to get even bigger. Believe me.
