As seen during the 2025 WWE NXT No Mercy PLE, Ricky Saints defeated Oba Femi to become the new NXT world champion. As of a result of Femi losing, there has been speculation about him joining the WWE main roster.
In regards to Femi potentially joining RAW or SmackDown in the immediate future, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following…
“This is one of those things where the answer as far as everyone knows is no, in the sense Femi is still in the plans for NXT going forward. However, they do swerve people and tell almost nobody about call-ups a lot of the time so people who should know get blindsided. So it’s a no as far as just about anyone knows, but there is no such thing as a 100 percent no.”
Thank you, Oba Femi. 💐💐💐 pic.twitter.com/hFYBizNrG6
