00:00Back live on NXT with The Ruler and The Destroyer.
00:07Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the NXT Champion, Oba Finn.
00:37We are about to learn what is on the mind of our NXT Champion.
00:46You know what?
00:47Cuz that beer, rope and stomping, grave digging, destruction, death.
01:07Since January the 7th, 2025, I have been your NXT Champion.
01:25And in that time, I've put down any challenger that stepped forward to oppose me.
01:32The best from NXT, TNA, Raw, SmackDown.
01:39One by one they came and one by one they fell.
01:45And do you know what that makes them?
01:47That makes them footnotes to my legacy.
01:51Capable contenders but footnotes.
01:53And now I sit comfortably at the top of the pedestal.
01:58But this is where it gets dangerous.
02:00Because any man in my position will start to rest on his laurels.
02:05Will start to coast and bask in the euphoria of his victories.
02:09But the ruler is not just any man now, is he?
02:16I get restless when I'm idle.
02:20I get restless when there's no contenders.
02:23When there's no competition.
02:24Because I crave the fight.
02:26I enjoy the fight.
02:27I embrace the fight.
02:29And I need challengers.
02:31So any man who thinks they are worthy to take this title from me.
02:36Any man who thinks they can stand up to the ruler himself.
02:39This is your opportunity.
02:41This is your moment.
02:43The ruler is ready.
02:52And it doesn't appear.
02:54He has to wait long.
02:57Inamura.
02:58Very, very interesting.
03:00We know Inamura has big plans.
03:04Do they include the ruler?
03:19I came to NXT to chase glory.
03:28Just like you.
03:33But when it did not come.
03:38I went home to Japan.
03:41I realized all the things I missed.
03:46I missed my partner, Briggs.
03:52My best friend, Briggs.
03:57But I also missed NXT.
04:06Because I love NXT.
04:11I love the culture.
04:14I love the passion of the fans.
04:20I won't pay them back by becoming NXT champion.
04:39I want bigger.
04:46And you.
04:50The title.
04:52Are bigger.
04:54Mr. Inamura.
05:00Mr. Inamura.
05:01You know, one thing that we both have in common is that we both know what it's like to be strangers in a different place.
05:08And I made this place my home a long time ago.
05:11And ever since then, NXT has been my kingdom.
05:13And I've thrived ever since the beginning.
05:16And that's where we're different.
05:19Because you, upon coming here, you've had your fair share of struggles that made you go back to Japan.
05:26But that is why they have embraced you, because you came back, you turned the tide, and you did it all with a smile on your face.
05:37But you can't fool me, you can't fool me, I see beyond that smile, I know that under that, is a fighting warrior, is a man with a warrior spirit, who craves the fight, just like me.
05:53So in Amora, you want to fight for their honor, big mistake, because when you face the ruler, you will fall, just like everybody else, I am ready.
06:12When you talk about passion, feel it right now, Graves, we could be on the verge of literal human demolition derby.
06:25I cannot wait, I am all fired up, a true heavyweight showdown, but that's Jasper Troy.
06:36Troy just ran over in Amora like a Mack truck, not finished, stop.
06:41And think about this, no one has pushed over Femi like Jasper Troy did.
