While the original Inner Circle only had five members, they did add MJF and Wardlow for a few months to eventually cause a faction war with The Pinnacle. As was the case with Sammy Guevara, Wardlow was put in the spotlight and allowed to showcase his potential as one of the best big men in the business. There are already enormous expectations of Oba Femi, who has dominated NXT over the past year as the brand's top champion and looks set for a main roster call-up. There are few to no weaknesses the Nigerian possesses, as he's been excellent on the mic while putting on stellar matches. But we have seen some major names get lost in the shuffle on RAW and SmackDown, including Jacob Fatu, whose spark has somewhat fizzled in his second year with the promotion. Putting Oba in such a high-profile spot would allow him to grow further with a new audience that may not be clued in on the Ruler and will see him as the Inner Circle's answer to Evolution's Batista, eventually breaking out and feuding with Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens. Backstage segments where the power of the 310-pounder scares Jericho and KO could have fans in stitches. Their obvious fear that the 27-year-old might one day opt to go solo could make for a fantastic subplot as the overall stable's story progresses.
