    Booker T: Oba Femi Is Ready To ‘Run With The Big Dogs’; Triple H's Reported Verdict

    That’s Booker T’s verdict of the 27-year-old who has been with WWE since October 2021, debuting on NXT Level Up in November 2022. He has been booked as a monster in developmental, first winning the NXT North American Championship before going on a tear as NXT Champion until last Saturday.

    Oba Femi and Ricky Saints put on an excellent match for the title at No Mercy and the title changed hands, ending the Nigerian’s reign at 262 days. His loss has inevitably been met with calls for Triple H to bring him to either RAW or SmackDown.

    Booker T applauded the title match and commended Oba for playing a “quarterback” role at such a young age. He added: “I commend Oba Femi for literally picking this business up and understanding… I hope and I wish for so many more of these young guys to be able to take it and pick that up. Because he doesn’t go out there and do a whole lot in the ring, but everything is so impressive, everything is so believable, and he’s come such a long way in such a short amount of time.”

    Oba has nothing left to do on NXT after dropping the gold and TheSportster’s NXT Call Up Power Rankings predict he is the current frontrunner to be called up to WWE’s main roster. That’s a stance Booker echoed: “Let’s just say this, I think Oba can run with the big dogs. He can do it right now. Do I think he’s ready? Yes I do. I’m not running the show, I’m not pulling the strings or anything like that, but I like everything about Oba Femi and I think if they were to pull the trigger with him, they could do very, very well, I really do.”
