Top WWE NXT star Oba Femi appeared on The Ringer Wrestling Worldwide to talk about a number of topics, including whether he still has goals left in NXT.
Femi said, “Yes. I mean, everyone does. Now we’re trying to make NXT maybe a third brand by implementing the transfer portal. I grew up watching Smackdown and Raw, and from my general understanding of progression in the game, you go from developmental to the main roster, and for that reason alone, yes, I would jump through the window tomorrow. But I also feel like I have a part to play in elevating what NXT is seen as today. That’s why I want to win the NXT Championship and represent this brand, be the top guy, and show that professional wrestling is still a sport and all that.”
On what his celebratory meal will be if he wins the NXT Title:
“A celebratory meal, for me, would be a tomahawk steak.”
On whether he has any ideas for customized championship merchandise:
“I guess it’ll have beads on it. It’ll definitely have that same design as the North American Championship, with the fat straps. That’s a very hard question to answer. I don’t know, but it would definitely have that North American outline if you were to do it now.”
