In a follow-up segment, Evans was seen in NXT General Manager Ava’s office in a celebratory mood about his big win earlier.

This led to Lee’s music playing interrupting Femi and Lee made his way to the ring. Lee stated that would be him. Lee stated that you know, he knows, and everyone knows that you did not pin him. Femi responded stating that Lee’s little obsession with this title is beginning to irritate him. Lee responded back stating that he does not care and when he came back, he was gunning for one thing, which he said was Oba. Lee stated that you know how badly he wanted to test himself against Oba. Lee then stated that he declined being in the battle royal match because all of his energy is on “his” North American title and getting it back. After some more back-and-forth banter, Femi stated that he is willing to grant Lee one more chance but on the condition that when Lee loses, he can never challenge him for the title again as long as he holds it, which Lee accepted.

It's now or never for @WesLee_WWE…@Obaofwwe has granted The Kardiak Kid one final shot at the North American Title 😳#WWENXT pic.twitter.com/OerGaUwp1g
