At WWE NXT: No Mercy, Oba Femi dropped the NXT World Championship, drawing reactions from industry figures including Bully Ray. Ray recently appeared on the Busted Open Radio podcast, where he expressed optimism about Femi’s future, linking the championship loss to upcoming opportunities for the superstar.
On the podcast, Bully Ray shared his perspective on Femi’s defeat, stating,
“I don’t think I’ve ever been so excited about somebody losing a match. I’m assuming that this means bigger and better things are on the horizon for Oba.”
He further praised Femi and his associate Trick Williams, highlighting their impressive physical presence in the ring:
“They just look like what pro wrestlers are supposed to look like, in my opinion. Oba and Trick are very big, they’re very muscular. They’re manly-looking men who, when they hit each other, you can almost feel it sitting at home.”
Bully Ray’s comments suggest a strong belief that Oba Femi’s career trajectory remains upward despite the recent title loss.
