Recent rumors have stirred curiosity around Oba Femi’s WWE status following his intense Tables, Ladders, and Scares match against Tony D’Angelo at WWE NXT Halloween Havoc 2024. Speculation grew on Monday regarding whether Femi might be bidding farewell to NXT, sparking talk of a potential main roster call-up. However, sources suggest that Femi is likely to remain in NXT for now.
Halloween Havoc 2024 Performance and Main Roster Rumors
Oba Femi’s recent performances, including his high-profile rematch with Tony D’Angelo for the NXT North American Title, showcased his formidable talent and ability to deliver thrilling matches. Following Halloween Havoc, rumors circulated that Femi had said his goodbyes backstage, which often hints at a promotion to WWE’s main roster. However, Fightful Select’s Corey Brennan reached out to various sources within WWE, including talent and production staff, and reported a strong consensus that Femi is staying put in NXT.
Company and Fan Speculation on Femi’s Future
Corey Brennan’s investigation at Fightful Select revealed that the notion of Femi’s departure was “met with ignorance,” as many in the company had not heard anything concrete about a move to the main roster. Femi’s in-ring prowess and star power have led many in NXT to consider him a top contender for the NXT Championship, especially with Trick Williams currently holding the title. Although Femi’s promotion to the main roster seems imminent, WWE may still have major plans for him within NXT before he transitions.
Oba Femi’s Potential Path to WWE Championship Gold
Sources within NXT have long viewed Oba Femi as a future WWE Champion. Given his raw talent, athleticism, and growing fan base, Femi’s journey is widely followed by WWE fans and insiders alike. WWE’s process of moving talent from NXT to the main roster is usually quite public, often with farewells that the company shares on social media, such as when Bron Breakker was promoted. The lack of any formal farewell or official statement from WWE suggests that Femi’s NXT journey may continue.
