Oba Femi’s record-breaking 273-day reign as NXT North American
champion came to a halt last night on NXT as “The Don” Tony
D’Angelo beat the Nigerian star in a fantastic match on the
CW.

Femi originally won the title on January 9 after he cashed in
his Breakout Tournament contract, beating Dragon Lee. Since
then, Femi had successfully retained the title in all his
title defenses but last night, the Illinois native D’Angelo
managed to win his first singles title in NXT, becoming the
19th different NXT star to win the title.

D’Angelo won the match after he was set up for a powerbomb by
Femi but managed to turn it into a sunset flip for the
surprise three-count.
