Oba Femi put Tony D’Angelo a few weeks ago with the WWE NXT North American Title on the line. This past Sunday, they ran it back in tables, ladders, and scares match at this year’s WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2024 Premium Live Event with Oba putting D’Angelo over again.
On Monday, there was a rumor that Femi said his goodbyes to NXT backstage after Halloween Havoc. Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan asked people in the company about the rumor and said it “has been met with ignorance to the possibility of an Oba Femi main roster call-up. In asking sources ranging from production, talent, and otherwise, we did not hear of Femi saying goodbyes following Halloween Havoc, with those we spoke to being of the belief Femi will remain in NXT for the time being.”
It was said that Femi has long been considered a future WWE Champion, and sources in NXT believe Femi was next in line for the NXT Championship after Trick Williams. Whether that is in the cards immediately has not been confirmed.
It should be noted that typically when an NXT star says goodbye to the brand, it’s not a secret. The company has even shared footage of it on social media, most notably when Bron Breakker was called up.
