Archangel Avacyn Delayed Trigger Event

Hello Fellow Judges,

yesterday I at FNM a Player asked me a Question regarding Archangel Avacyn and her delayed Trigger the Scenario was as follows.

Player A controls Hangarback Walker, 2 Thopter Tokens and Archangel Avacyn.
Player B casts Eldrazi Obligator with its optional Costs and gains control of Avacyn he attacks with both.

Player A asked me what would happen if he blocks the Obligator with his Walker and how the delayed trigger is handeld, will Avacyn transform if the Controller changes?

I'm not quite sure since the Controller of the delayed Trigger and the Controller of Avacyn are different when the trigger would resolve.
Could someone enlighten me on this it would sure help me a lot to understand those triggers in that Situation.
