Oba Femi has plans to redefine the “big man style” on the main WWE roster.
In 2024, Oba Femi became a dominant force in NXT and reigned as the North American Champion for much of the year and wracked up a 30-match winning streak before losing the gold to Tony D’Angelo. At NXT Deadline, Oba Femi won the Iron Survivor Challenge to earn an NXT Title shot at New Year’s Evil.
Despite his upcoming opportunity in NXT, though, the star already has plans for when he is called up to the main roster. Speaking to Adam Barnard of The Takedown on SI, Femi said he wants to take what he’s done in NXT to a bigger stage.
“I want to take what I’ve done here in NXT, and that is, redefine what the big man style is, plan to take it up there and throw it in the mix. I’ve shown that the typical big man, the new big man, let’s call it that. The new big man is a talker, the new big man is a thinker, and the new big man moves fast.
“I hope that I can go to the main roster, and show that to the world on a bigger platform than NXT. The main roster is the bigger audience.”
