WWE NXT champion Oba Femi lands on current world champion's radar; doors open for first-time match

WWE is being ruled by some top names who are making it big in the industry. NXT North American Champion Oba Femi is a fierce athlete who would like to face someone who can match his level under a new partnership. TNA Wrestling and WWE’s recent partnership has seen many top stars from both companies compete on each other’s programs.

As for now, it looks like the Stamford-based promotion is keeping things limited to NXT in the initial phases. Current TNA World Champion Moose was recently asked about the possibility of competing against a WWE star soon. He stated that Trick Williams and Oba Femi were two of the top stars on his list.

"Trick [Williams], I think he’s their champion. There’s another guy there, Oba Femi. We’re both from the same heritage, we’re both Nigerians, so that would be something cool. Honestly, I hate to single people out and leave people not in the list. Whoever they think or TNA thinks or whoever’s in charge of this relationship, whoever they think that I could have a great match with, I could probably have a good match with, I’m at a part of my career where I could have a great match with anybody…I would be happy for the opportunity and I would give 110%," Moose said.

Later in the interview with Gabby AF, the topic of the crossover was brought up once again. Moose noted that he had not heard anything about being part of the crossover yet and was not going to get his hopes up. For now, he is happy dominating TNA Wrestling.

"I’m one of those guys that I hate to get excited about anything that‘s not possible until it becomes possible, or until it actually happens. Even though we have a working relationship with WWE, my name hasn’t been mentioned, and I don’t want to think about it. I just don’t even think about it. I’ll just keep dominating my company until whatever happens," Moose said. [H/T Fightful]

A match between Oba Femi and Moose would pull in crowds as both men have immense strength and could put on a great show for fans. It would be great to see WWE go ahead with this booking.

Oba Femi is currently the hottest act on WWE NXT

Oba Femi arrived on the scene and almost immediately won the NXT Breakout Tournament to make a name for himself. He wasted no time in cashing in his title match and defeated Dragon Lee to become the NXT North American Champion.

While Femi looked like an opportunist at first, he has proven that he has the skills to become the next top star. Many fans have gone as far as to compare him to Brock Lesnar.

He has done well to defend his title in top matches and has shown his incredible strength to prove that he could become the next Brock Lesnar in WWE. A match against someone like Moose will help him get on the map.
