Former WWE NXT North American Champion Oba Femi recently shared his ambitious goals for a potential main roster call-up in an interview with Adam Barnard of The Takedown on SI.
Femi expressed his desire to revolutionize the traditional perception of a “big man” in professional wrestling. “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,” Femi stated. He emphasized his unique attributes, saying, “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.”
Confident in his ability to make a significant impact, Femi aims to showcase his redefined big-man style on a larger stage. “I hope that I can go to the main roster, and show that to the world on a bigger platform than NXT,” he shared. While acknowledging the success of NXT, Femi recognized the broader reach of the main roster, stating, “the main roster is the bigger audience.”
