Oba Femi Reveals What The Rock Told Him Behind the Scenes at WWE NXT

Oba Femi is making waves in WWE NXT, but according to The Rock, it won’t be long before he’s lighting up the main roster. The NXT Champion recently revealed in an interview with Uncrowned that The Final Boss personally praised his work and told him he’s ready for the next level.

“He said, ‘Good job, great match. Can’t wait to see you on the main roster,’” Femi recalled about his backstage interaction with The Rock.

It’s not hard to see why The Great One is keeping an eye on Femi. The reigning NXT Champion has already shattered records, holding the NXT North American Championship longer than anyone before winning the Iron Survivor Challenge in December. Now, with The Rock’s stamp of approval, his future in WWE is looking even brighter.

With The Rock already calling his shot, it’s clear Oba Femi isn’t just another NXT standout—he’s a future main event player. The only question now is when WWE will pull the trigger on his main roster debut. Will it be after WrestleMania? Could he be a surprise Royal Rumble entrant? Either way, The Ruler is coming, and when he does, the landscape of WWE is going to change.

Do you think Oba Femi is ready for the main roster, or should he keep building his legacy in NXT first? Drop your thoughts in the comments!
