A WWE star has compared a current champion to the “dorks” they once bullied back in their high school days.
Due to Elimination Chamber 2024 taking place overseas in Perth, Australia, WWE pre-emptively filmed a second NXT taping following last week’s episode on February 13.
This pre-taped episode is set to air on February 20, and will feature two different title matches- with the NXT Women’s North American Championships being defended by Lyra Valkyria and Oba Femi respectively.
Ahead of the match airing, Oba Femi’s challenger Lexis King took to social media to not only hype up the bout, but perhaps unwisely also throw some insults at the 270 pounder.
These insults were made in reference to the North American Champion’s Twitter handle being named after the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s famous supervillain Thanos.
Posting to Twitter, King said:
Hey Oba, sweet twitter handle… you must be one of those marvel-loving dorks I used to bully back in high school!
You should be grateful for the opportunity to share the ring with the King!
I’ll make a star out of you just yet big man!!!
If you’d like to find out if King did in fact “make a star” out of Oba Femi in their big title match – follow this link here.
King has found himself embroiled in an increasingly heated rivalry with a fellow NXT star recently, due to comments directed at their young children.
