NXT Champion Oba Femi held his own with WWE Champion Cody Rhodes over the weekend at Saturday Night’s Main Event.
Oba Femi kicked off Saturday Night’s Main Event, taking on WWE Champion Cody Rhodes. The highly anticipated match ended with Drew McIntyre getting involved and causing a disqualification. A finish that didn’t sit well with many in the WWE Universe.
On the latest episode of The Hall of Fame Podcast, NXT commentator Booker T spoke about Oba Femi’s performance at Saturday Night’s Main Event. Going as far as to say Femi looked like he belonged on the main roster over the weekend.
“Oba definitely went out there and did a hell of a job with Cody Rhodes,” Booker T stated. “It looked like he belonged on the main roster. Looked like he could compete with anybody you know, in the main roster right now, just the walk, you know, the tribal walk, you know what I mean, and then to get there and, you know, really turn into Ober Femi and go in the middle of that ring and handle business from both sides. You know?
“I mean, Ober Femi knows exactly how to go out there and perform. And he still has so much, so much more to learn. He really does. But I look at him now, and in his infancy stages, and, man, he has picked it up so, so quickly. So, yeah, man, I see nothing but nothing but a bright, bright future for that kid, Oba Femi.” [H/T: WrestlingNews.co]
