Following his recent title win, WWE NXT Champion Oba Femi has teased a future match with World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER.
On the January 7 New Year’s Evil edition of WWE NXT, Oba Femi defeated Trick Williams and Eddy Thorpe to win the NXT Championship.
Since climbing the ladder on the NXT brand, Femi has drawn comparisons to current World Heavyweight Champion GUNTHER.
Appearing on The Masked Man Show with David Shoemaker and Kazeem Famuyide, Oba Femi discussed the similarities between himself and “The Ring General.”
The WWE NXT Champion said:
“I love his style and I love his mentality towards what we do. He doesn’t see it as entertainment and professional wrestling, he sees it as a sport, and I respect that.
“Never traded words with Gunther. Hopefully, one day, I will. Would love to pick his brain and see what he has to tell me because he is good at what he does.
“We just happen to work that same grounded style and we mix effectively with other styles.
“I’m happy with the work he’s doing right now. He’s killing it. Hopefully, one day, we’ll get to dance.”
Oba Femi is set to defend the NXT Championship against Eddy Thorpe on this Tuesday’s January 21 edition of WWE NXT.
Meanwhile, GUNTHER will face Jey Uso for the World Heavyweight Championship at Saturday Night’s Main Event on January 25.
