Oba Femi Pitched For WWE Main Roster Call Up

WWE

Former WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi has been pitched for an imminent main roster call up by a current WWE name.

Oba Femi’s reign as the NXT Champion came to an end back at the WWE NXT No Mercy event, when Ricky Saints toppled the Ruler to end his nine month reign as champion.

Following his defeat, there has been a lot of speculation on whether Oba is now done with NXT, and when or where we may see him on the main roster.

While many have speculated about the Ruler making his debut in the Royal Rumble, WWE Hall of Famer Booker T has commented on his status, noting he believes he is ready to be called up ‘right now’.

On his Hall of Fame Podcast said:

“I can tell you this, Oba has done a hell of a job in NXT, and if it is time for him to move on it’s the right time. If we was to stay in NXT, what else is there for Oba Femi to do? He’s dominated.

“One thing with the main roster is they always say ‘do we have anything for you?’ Everything is kind of set right now, so is it a good time for Oba to debut on the main roster?

“Hold him in the wings and then boom when he does make that big debut it would be a big thing, but do you wanna sit Oba until January?

“I agree either way, I think Oba can make a big splash on the main roster right now. He’s done everything he could possibly do in NXT. I think it’s time to pull the trigger. I’m not one to book the show, which is why I’m so reluctant to even say it, but I really think Oba Femi can fit in on the main roster, especially with the right players around him to teach him how to be a main event player.

“Guys like Randy Orton, guys like CM Punk, guys like Roman Reigns, to be around those guys right now is invaluable for someone like Oba Femi.”
