Rusev and Oba Femi clashed on a recent WWE show.
In what some would call a dream match, the two behemoths were a part of a Six-Man Tag Team match at an NXT Live Show in North Charleston, South Carolina.
Details Of Clash Between Rusev And Oba Femi At WWE Live Event
The match saw Oba Femi team with former NXT Tag Team Champions Hank and Tank going up against the 39-year-old star, who was alongside LFG season 1 winner Jasper Troy and NXT North American Champion, Ethan Page.
The encounter between the two powerhouses occurred when Hank and Tank neutralized Page and Troy, leading to The Bulgarian Brute to tag in.
The moment the two stars faced each other for the first time was shared by WWE NXT on their X/Twitter account:

The encounter delivered to fans’ expectations, as the momentum swung back and forth between the two stars. The former United States Champion seemed to have the upper hand at one point, but was neutralized by the NXT Champion.
The Bulgarian Brute and Femi would clash again during the bout, and The Ruler of NXT delivered a chokeslam, but “God’s Favorite Champion” recovered and even took control of the match, which led to Jasper Troy blindly tagging in. However, this backfired, and a full-scale brawl erupted in the ring.
Femi would show his dominance through this chaotic moment and deliver his Fall From Grace Powerbomb on Troy to secure the victory for his team.
The video gained significant traction online, with fans requesting that the promotion book the two behemoths in a proper feud.
The Best Man recently won his bout against Sheamus in a Good Ol’ Fashioned Donnybrook match at Clash In Paris, making the Irish grappler submit for only the second time in his career.
Femi is scheduled to defend his title against Ricky Saints at the No Mercy PLE, which takes place on September 27.
