Oba Femi’s recent decision to vacate the NXT Championship has sparked discussions about his future in WWE, with many speculating if he will experience a dominant, Goldberg-like run on either RAW or SmackDown. WWE Hall of Famer Booker T shared his thoughts on this development during the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, expressing confidence in the promising trajectory of The Ruler as he moves to the main roster.
Booker T’s Perspective on Oba Femi’s Growth
Booker T emphasized the importance of careful star-building in WWE’s evolving landscape. He noted,
“No, I’m not surprised at all,”
reflecting on the vacating of the NXT title. He explained that establishing wrestlers properly demands strategic positioning to ensure their success. According to Booker T, Oba Femi is a talent that WWE must handle with precision to avoid losing momentum.
He elaborated on this approach, saying,
“You want to bring him in, and you want to bring him white hot. And I think that’s what they’re going to do. I think Oba Femi has the potential to go on one of those somewhat Goldberg runs… He’s unbeatable until he gets to that one guy, this guy that could, you know, get his first title shot and actually win it, you know, once you get on the main roster.”
The Strategy Behind Oba Femi’s Future Push
Booker T highlighted how WWE aims to carefully nurture Oba’s rise to prominence, focusing on positioning him to succeed on the larger stage.
“So I’m looking forward to seeing exactly what Oba does… I think with someone like Oba, you just got to make sure you put them in position to succeed, and I think that’s what they’re doing. I think they’re doing a really, really good job with them,”
he added.
What Lies Ahead for Oba Femi in WWE
The possibility of Oba Femi embarking on a Goldberg-style unbeaten streak on WWE’s main shows signifies a critical moment in his career development. If WWE follows through on this plan, it could elevate Oba’s status significantly and provide fans with an electrifying new chapter in WWE storytelling. His upcoming matches and storylines will be closely watched to see if he can fulfill this high expectation.
