Oba Femi faced off against Tony D’Angelo a few weeks ago with the WWE NXT North American Title at stake. This past Sunday at NXT Halloween Havoc 2024, they had a rematch where Oba lost to D’Angelo again.
On Monday, rumors suggested that Femi bid farewell to NXT backstage following Halloween Havoc 2024.
Fightful is reporting that there is “skepticism regarding the possibility of an Oba Femi main roster call-up.”
When speaking with various sources, including production staff and talent, there was no indication that Femi said any farewells after NXT Halloween Havoc, as those enquired believed that Femi would continue to be part of NXT for the time being.
The report also states that Femi has long been viewed as a potential future WWE Champion, and sources within NXT think that Femi is the next contender for the NXT Championship after Trick Williams. However, it remains unconfirmed if this will happen anytime soon.
It’s worth noting that when an NXT talent bids farewell to the brand, it is usually not kept under wraps. WWE has even shared videos of such moments on social media, particularly when Bron Breakker was called up.
