TNA X Division Champion Leon Slater is confident that Oba Femi will become a future legend in WWE following Femi’s notable achievements in NXT. Slater recently reflected on being part of Femi’s final match before the former NXT Champion’s main roster call-up, emphasizing the significance of the moment for both wrestlers.
Reflections on a Memorable Match and Career Milestone
Oba Femi made headlines by vacating his NXT Championship in front of the fans, signaling the start of his journey on the WWE main roster. Slater, who challenged Femi to what became the last match of Femi’s NXT tenure, recalled the unique experience of being involved in such a critical moment. During an interview with Joey Karni, Slater recounted how the match came about and described the encounter as a highlight of his own career, as well as a defining memory in Femi’s ascent through the ranks.
“I think it’s no secret he is a very, very special talent and I think he’s going to be a legend in the coming years and he’s going to be a big player in the WWE,”
said Slater.
“So for me to have that kind of spotlight match against him where if you go back and look at Oba Femi’s run you’ll have the first match, the match where he won the North American Title, you’ll have the match where he won the NXT Title, and you’ll have his last match. To be on one of those key points for such a talent like Oba Femi is super cool for sure.”
