NXT title situation to be addressed by GM Ava on the next episode

01/11/2026

The future of the NXT title will be addressed on this coming week’s episode of NXT with General Manager Ava leading the charge.

The title was relinquished by then-champion Oba Femi on this week’s episode after he successfully defended it against TNA’s Leon Slater. Femi left the title in the middle of the ring as he got called up to the main roster.

The last time the NXT Championship was declared vacant was on September 12, 2021 after Samoa Joe suffered an undisclosed injury. A new champ was crowned two days later in a fatal four-way match which saw Tommaso Ciampa defeated LA Knight, Pete Dunne, and Von Wagner.

It’s the fourth time that the title has been declared vacant.
