NXT has a litany of stars ready to be the next generation of WWE superstars and one that has garnered a lot of fan support is NXT North American Champion Oba Femi.
Fans are not the only ones impressed with Femi however. Fightful Select's Corey Brennan was told that officials in NXT have been impressed with Femi's performances since becoming NXT North American Champion, with one NXT source noting Femi is expected to do big things in WWE, describing him as someone WWE view as a future WWE champion.
Officials have been surprised by Femi's development in the short time he has been on television, with the viewpoint of him being the "total package" being a common one backstage. One source also noted that WWE sees Femi as a source of untapped potential and do not have any plans to rush Femi to the main roster despite his surging popularity.
