NXT star must replace Bobby Lashley on WWE SmackDown 

Bobby Lashley will soon officially leave WWE SmackDown when his contract expires next month. The Almighty has been removed from the Stamford-based company's internal roster and is set to leave for the second time in his career. The blue brand's general manager, Nick Aldis, will undoubtedly want to replace one of pro wrestling's best powerhouses.

Step up NXT rising star, the colossal Oba Femi, who is wreaking havoc on Tuesday nights. The 26-year-old is the reigning NXT North American Champion, and he's yet to be beaten since winning the NXT Breakout Tournament.

The Nigerian heavyweight stands at 6ft6inch and weighs 273 lb, and he's viewed as a future megastar in WWE. Since debuting, he's been involved in several impressive matches, including wins against Ivar, Wes Lee, and most recently, Duke Hudson.

Bobby Lashley has just weeks left with the promotion until his contract expires. It remains to be seen whether The Pride leader will be used on TV as he nears his departure date.

Oba Femi should destroy Bobby Lashley to debut on WWE's main roster

WWE chief content officer Triple H hasn't been afraid to book reigning NXT champions on the main roster. Dominik Mysterio and Dragon Lee held the NXT North American Championship while involved in feuds on WWE SmackDown months ago.

Oba Femi could be the next NXT Championship title holder to arrive on the main roster. Nick Aldis could inform the blue brand's roster that a monster will soon arrive on Friday nights.

Bobby Lashley could bid farewell to the WWE Universe when Oba Femi's 'Hands of Fate' theme music hits. The Lagos-born star struts to the ring as the departing Almighty prepares to lock horns.

Oba Femi could tell the two-time WWE Champion that he respects him, but 'this is my kingdom now.' He takes a cheap shot at the 48-year-old before decimating him, hitting him with his Fall from Grace finisher through the announcers' desk.

He has a parting message, telling the veteran star, 'It's just business.' It is a sly dig at the Hurt Business, Lashley's former stable that fans have long desired to be brought back.

Oba Femi could become the new Goldberg or Brock Lesnar

Oba Femi is enjoying a meteoric rise in NXT and has been on a monstrous winning run. He's excelled in the ring, but he's also been superb on the microphone, which is sometimes an issue for powerhouses.

Pro wrestling has had its fair share of giants who have gone on unbeaten runs or impressive title reigns. Goldberg went 173-0 in WCW, while Brock Lesnar went on a 504-day reign as WWE Universal Champion.

Oba Femi is arguably the company's Next Big Thing, and the higher-ups are wowed by his performance in NXT. Fightful Select reports that he's anticipated to have significant success in the future and is viewed as a future WWE Champion.

The Nigerian star is seen as the 'total package' and a talent with untapped potential. He can further hone his craft in developmental but his must-watch presence will surely lead to a main roster call-up in the near future.

The blue brand lacks monsters ahead of Bobby Lashley's exit

The SmackDown roster looks pretty light of dominant heavyweights, with Bobby Lashley set to depart. The Bloodline's newest star, Jacob Fatu, is the new force to be reckoned with on the blue brand.

Oba Femi would be a huge addition to Nick Aldis' roster to counteract RAW's monster talent. The likes of Bron Breakker, Bronson Reed, Gunther, and Braun Strowman put the blue brand to shame.

The NXT North American Champion could also be booked in some dream matches if called up as Bobby Lashley's replacement. Picture the Nigerian star against Jacob Fatu or him going toe-to-toe with Randy Orton.
