The WWE NXT roster call ups continue to make an impact, as Oba Femi gears up for a likely debut on SmackDown after gaining fan attention during his short yet notable interaction with Cody Rhodes ahead of the December 13 WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event. WWE has already begun airing promotional segments for “The Ruler” on both Raw and SmackDown, building anticipation for his upcoming arrival which seems imminent.
Oba Femi may immediately set his sights on established stars such as Cody Rhodes or Drew McIntyre, especially following their intense Three Stages of Hell Match that took place on the December 9 episode of SmackDown. Alternatively, WWE could use Femi’s momentum to launch a brand-new rivalry, positioning him against fresh competition within the blue brand.
Given his size, charisma, and recent momentum, Oba Femi stands as a significant threat to anyone in the SmackDown locker room, including top-tier names like Aleister Black or Damian Priest, whose long-running clash concluded this week. With this transition, Oba Femi is positioned for a breakout that could reshape rivalries and dynamics on Friday nights.
What’s Next for SmackDown?
The ongoing trend of WWE NXT roster call ups is expected to inject new energy and rivalries into SmackDown, especially with the recent storyline developments involving Cody Rhodes, Drew McIntyre, and other prominent figures like Brandi Rhodes and Triple H. As the brand gears up for future events and potential title changes, the introduction of talents like Oba Femi signals WWE’s commitment to keeping its roster fresh and its storylines engaging for fans. Viewers can anticipate more surprises and major debuts as these new stars begin to make their mark on SmackDown’s ever-evolving landscape.
