Je’Von Evans took WWE Hall of Famer The Undertaker’s advice by deciding to battle the biggest dog in the yard in NXT Champion Oba Femi.

Evans faced an uphill battle of a tremendous weight disadvantage, suffering the full force of the titleholder’s size and power from the start, but he made up for it with unyielding heart as he fired back with everything he had, including devastating frog splash, a cutter off the ropes, and more. 

When the official got accidently taken out, a second referee emerged and counted three on Evans’ pin attempt. However, the first official reemerged and overturned the pinfall because Oba’s foot was under the rope. 

Femi then regrouped and hurled Evans full force over the top rope to send him crashing through the announce table before dragging him back into the ring for a match-ending Powerbomb. 

After the bout, Ricky Saints emerged to stand toe-to-toe and talk trash with the victorious NXT Champion in the center of the ring as Heatwave concluded.
