Oba Femi overwhelmed Kit Wilson in a swift victory on WWE SmackDown, defeating the former NXT Tag Team Champion in under a minute. Following his dominant performance, Femi shared a powerful message on social media, signaling his aggressive intent.
Femi, a former two-time NXT Champion, vacated his second title reign to move to WWE’s main roster. He took part in the 2026 Men’s Royal Rumble Match, eliminating five opponents before Brock Lesnar ended his run. Femi has also appeared on Monday Night RAW, where he decisively defeated The War Raiders before focusing his efforts on SmackDown.
On Instagram, Femi posted images from his SmackDown appearance along with a brief but intense four-word warning. Despite his significant performances, he remains listed as a free agent without a permanent association with RAW or SmackDown.
“Learn to become…… MORE!!!!” wrote Femi.
Concerns Raised About Oba Femi’s Readiness to Face Brock Lesnar
Veteran wrestler Bully Ray expressed doubts about Oba Femi being prepared to challenge Brock Lesnar. The two shared a tense stare during the Men’s Royal Rumble Match, which concluded with Lesnar eliminating Femi.
On the Busted Open podcast, Ray stated it was too early for this matchup, emphasizing Femi’s lack of credibility at this stage. He remarked,
“It’s much too soon for Brock and Oba, in my opinion. Oba is not credible enough yet, and Brock knows this. It’s going to be very hard. Oba is not credible enough for Brock right now,”
Lesnar has made occasional WWE appearances recently. Notably, he participated in the 2025 Men’s WarGames Match, teaming with The Vision and Drew McIntyre to beat Team CM Punk, which included Roman Reigns, Cody Rhodes, and The Usos.
