Moose: I Told Myself If I Was Ever Going To Do Anything In NXT, Oba Femi Was Definitely My First Pick

Moose reflects on working with Oba Femi in WWE NXT, noting that he was always his first pick with regard to a TNA-WWE crossover.

Moose wrestled Oba Femi for the WWE NXT Championship at WWE NXT Roadblock at the theater in Madison Square Garden in March of last year, in a bout that took advantage of TNA and WWE’s working relationship.

While speaking to Rewind, Recap, Relive Moose reflected on working with Femi, noting that he was his first pick for a crossover match.

“Yeah, for sure. I told myself if I was ever going to do anything in NXT, he was definitely my first pick because we’re so much alike. I mean, we come from the same country. Like, he’s Nigerian, I’m Nigerian. You know what I’m saying? We have a lot in common. He’s a great individual, a great wrestler, very athletic, and saying people say the same about me. So, it was a match made in heaven, and it was a perfect match and rematch scenario.”

Elsewhere in the same interview, Moose spoke about AJ Styles’ retirement from WWE. You can read more about that here.
