WWE NXT Star teases main roster move

A WWE NXT star has teased a main roster move during the on-going ‘transfer window’ which sees stars from Raw, NXT and SmackDown eligible.

In a conversation with Adam Barnard for SI The Takedown, Oba Femi spoke about bringing his new style of ‘big man’ to the main roster.

On his success in NXT and his future hopes of joining the main roster, Oba Femi said:

“I want to take what I’ve done here in NXT, and that is redefine what the big man style is, and I plan to take it up there and throw it in the mix. I think I’ve done a good job of putting a spin on what the typical big man is.

“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’m changing the perception of what that is.

“I hope that I can go to the main roster and show that to the world on a bigger platform than NXT. I love NXT to death. NXT is doing very well for itself. It’s going up in viewers, and it gets viewers every year, but the main roster is the bigger audience.”

Oba Femi was the WWE NXT North American Champion for most of 2024 (273 days) before losing it to Tony D’Angelo.

While he recently returned to the main event scene in NXT, challenging Trick Williams for the NXT Championship at NXT New Year’s Evil in a triple threat match that also includes Eddy Thorpe.

I have really liked Oba Femi work on NXT and would like to see what he can do when he gets called up to the main roster

We at Real Rasslin would like your thoughts on when you think that Oba Femi will make his main roster debut
