Top WWE NXT star Oba Femi spoke with Sports Illustrated’s The Takedown on a number of topics, including how he wants to redefine the traditional notion of what a big man can do and bring that to the main roster.
Femi said, “I want to take what I’ve done here in NXT, and that is redefine what the big man style is, and I plan to take it up there and throw it in the mix. I think I’ve done a good job of putting a spin on what the typical big man is. I’ve shown that the typical big man – the new big man, let’s call it that, the new big man is a talker, the new big man is a thinker, and the new big man moves fast. I’m changing the perception of what that is. I hope that I can go to the main roster and show that to the world on a bigger platform than NXT. I love NXT to death. NXT is doing very well for itself. It’s going up in viewers, and it gets viewers every year, but the main roster is the bigger audience.”
