NXT North American Champion Oba Femi had to really prove his mettle against former champion Dragon Lee at WWE NXT Vengeance Day, and absolutely destroyed his contender in his first title defense! Oba Femi was the winner of the NXT Men's Breakout Tournament this year after defeating seven other competitors hoping to get their shot at a future NXT title, and Femi immediately made use of the contract he won in the tournament. Previously catching Dragon Lee by surprise to cash in his title opportunity, Oba Femi quickly won the NXT North American Championship. 

After spending a couple of weeks refusing to give Dragon Lee a rematch for the title, the two finally had their full match at WWE NXT Vengeance Day. Femi had a lot to prove with this being his first defense as the current North American champion, and Dragon Lee needed to prove why he was the former champ. But Femi proved that he's going to be a dominant champion by absolutely destroying Dragon Lee in a match that was less one-sided than one might have expected.
