Earlier this month, Oba Femi's record-long reign as WWE NXT North American Champion came to an end at the hands of 'The Don' Tony D'Angelo. The Ruler aims to regain the gold this weekend at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc, and Femi may have found himself an unlikely ally along the way.

During the October 22 WWE NXT, Adriana Rizzo suffered a beatdown backstage. Later on in the night, Nikkita Lyons was revealed to be the attacker and Femi approached her in the middle of her conversation. The pair shared a look, before Femi handed Lyons her coat, and made clear he was thankful to know her. The pop from the NXT crowd certainly suggested that those in attendance believe something is going on between The Ruler and the Lioness.

Lyons only recently returned to WWE NXT after being out of action for the majority of this year with an injury she suffered mere weeks after returning from a previous injury. Early in her career, she had to be removed from the NXT Women’s Breakout Tournament of 2022 after suffering a partial MCL tear and an MCL sprain.

Now, the Lioness, once considered a potential top female Superstar in WWE NXT, is back, and her teased involvement with Oba Femi has raised a lot of eyebrows. Stay tuned to SEScoops for all the latest on these two Superstars and how their alliance could affect the NXT North American Title match this weekend at Halloween Havoc.
