Oba Femi Grateful For His Time In NXT, Feels That Was His Version Of The Indies
Oba Femi looks back at his time in NXT.
During Oba Femi’s collective time as part of WWE’s NXT brand, he achieved the following accolades:
- NXT Champion (two times)
- NXT North American Champion
- NXT Men’s Breakout Tournament winner (2023)
- Men’s Iron Survivor Challenge winner (2024)
Femi is now a member of the Monday Night Raw roster and is set to clash with Brock Lesnar in the opening match of WrestleMania 42 night two.
While speaking to Cameron Hawkins of Uncrowned, Femi looked back at his time in NXT. He expressed gratitude for the experience and said he views it as if it were his indies.
“(It) was time. You know when you’ve done everything you can do for a company, you know when you’ve done everything you can do for a brand, a relationship, a friendship. You know when you’ve done everything and you’ve tried your best and you’ve put your all, and it’s time for you to move on to the next thing, and that’s just where I found myself when I had the NXT Championship. I’d done everything there was to do. I’m grateful for my time in NXT, of course. That was my indies. I appreciate everything I went through there.”
Since arriving on WWE’s main roster, Femi has yet to lose in singles competition.
