Battle for Supremacy: Oba Femi, Trick Williams, and Je’Von Evans Ignite a War in NXT’s Most Explosive Brawl Yet

The latest episode of WWE NXT on March 18, 2025, delivered one of the most chaotic and shocking moments in recent memory as a massive brawl erupted between NXT Champion Oba Femi, Trick Williams, and Je’Von Evans. The tension had been building for weeks, but nobody expected the sheer intensity of the physical confrontation that unfolded after Trick Williams’ grueling NXT Underground match against Eddy Thorpe.

The show, which was already stacked with high-stakes matches and ongoing rivalries, reached a boiling point when the three top competitors let their emotions get the better of them, leaving security and officials scrambling to contain the carnage. Here’s an in-depth look at how the night unfolded and what it means for the landscape of NXT moving forward.

Trick Williams Battles for Respect in NXT Underground

Trick Williams has been on a relentless journey to prove himself as more than just a former right-hand man to Carmelo Hayes. Since parting ways with his longtime ally and stepping into the spotlight on his own, Williams has embraced every challenge thrown his way.

His NXT Underground match against Eddy Thorpe was yet another test of his resilience and determination. The Underground rules—no ropes, no pinfalls, and victory by knockout or submission only—meant that Trick had to rely on his striking, grappling, and sheer toughness to survive.

Thorpe, known for his hard-hitting style and exceptional conditioning, pushed Williams to his limit. The match was a brutal affair, with both men trading heavy blows and utilizing the unforgiving environment to inflict maximum damage. Williams, despite being less experienced in the Underground format, refused to back down. He absorbed punishing elbows and submission attempts from Thorpe, but his fighting spirit shone through.

After an exhausting back-and-forth battle, Trick Williams secured the win by knocking Thorpe out with a vicious knee strike, cementing his toughness and proving once again why he is one of NXT’s fastest-rising stars. However, Williams barely had time to celebrate before chaos erupted.

Oba Femi Makes His Presence Felt

As Williams stood tall in the ring, exhausted but victorious, the familiar theme music of NXT Champion Oba Femi blasted through the speakers. The dominant champion marched down to the ring with his usual intimidating presence, his championship gleaming over his shoulder.

For weeks, Oba Femi had been keeping a close eye on Trick Williams and Je’Von Evans, both of whom had made their intentions clear about challenging for his title. Femi, never one to back down from a fight, had already warned both men that stepping into his world came with severe consequences.

With a microphone in hand, the champion wasted no time in addressing Williams.

“You wanna prove you’re the best? You wanna step up to the champ? Trick, you don’t have what it takes to take this from me.”

Williams, still catching his breath from his match, refused to be intimidated.

“Oba, I don’t need to prove anything to you. You know damn well that I belong in this fight. And when the time comes, that NXT Championship is mine.”

The crowd erupted as the two men locked eyes, their tension nearly palpable. But before they could come to blows, another familiar face stormed onto the scene.

Je’Von Evans Enters the Fray

Je’Von Evans, a high-flying sensation and another top contender for the NXT Championship, had been watching from the back and had heard enough. He sprinted down to the ring, sliding under the ropes and getting right in the middle of the confrontation.

Evans, who had already defeated some of NXT’s top names in recent months, had his own claim to the title. He made it clear that he wasn’t about to let Williams or Femi push him out of the championship picture.

“This ain’t just about you two. Oba, you’ve been running through people, but your time is almost up. Trick, you think you’ve got this in the bag, but you still gotta go through me first.”

The tension between the three men was at its peak. The crowd knew something was about to explode, and they weren’t wrong.

All Hell Breaks Loose

Oba Femi, never one to waste words, shoved Je’Von Evans, setting off an instant reaction. Evans fired back with a forearm to the champion’s jaw, and within seconds, all three men were throwing punches.

Williams tackled Evans to the mat, only for Femi to rip him off and toss him across the ring like a ragdoll. Evans, known for his aerial ability, used his agility to land a springboard dropkick on Femi, sending the champ staggering backward.

The fight spilled out of the ring and into the crowd as security rushed down to separate the three superstars. Fans scattered as chairs were knocked over, and referees desperately tried to regain control. Williams and Evans, despite their brief alliance against Femi, turned on each other, exchanging wild blows near the barricade.

The brawl showed no signs of stopping until NXT General Manager Ava Raine stormed out, flanked by a team of security guards.

“ENOUGH! This ends now. If you three want to tear each other apart, then we’re going to do it the right way. Next week, we’re going to settle this in the ring.”

With that, the night ended with all three men being held back, their rage still evident as the show faded to black.

What’s Next for NXT’s Top Stars?

With tensions at an all-time high, the question remains: what happens next in this volatile rivalry?

• Will Trick Williams finally get his NXT Championship shot?
• Can Je’Von Evans prove that he belongs at the top of the card?
• Will Oba Femi continue his dominant reign, or has he finally met his match?

One thing is certain: the NXT Championship picture has never been more explosive. With emotions running high and egos clashing, the next few weeks could be career-defining for all three men.

As the road to NXT Stand & Deliver heats up, fans can only expect more fireworks from this intense rivalry. One way or another, the battle for the NXT Championship is far from over.
